Did he have best car last year when he pushed Lando to the end and made up 100pts in the back half of the season?

The consensus was it was a shitbox in comparison to the other top teams and he drug it to the top.

Exactly, every knows what I meant.... Whatever stupid, gimmicky thing they are calling it thees day.

Mushroom mode :dunno:

Depends on your definition of good... better than the other option and former, 100% yes.

Better than Trump 1.0, debatable.

He has fumbled so many times this go around by taking the focus off America first... His escapades in Iran have wiped away all the good that was happening prior.

Was Checo, Yuki, Ricciardo, etc... leading the drivers championship?


I like seeing them race and fight it out papaya style rules, but when your competition for the constructors and the 2nd place driver in the championship is coming up, its a time to admit reality and that George could not have defended Kimi for 10 laps. There was 0 upside for either driver.

eta: now should they have told him to let him pass and then Kimi to stay wihin a second to give him DRS, probably. They def hung George out to dry, but frick him.

Can't believe they told Russell to get out of the way for Kimi.


Why, there was 0 chance Russel would have been able to defend him on 15 lap hard tires compared to brand new softs. Them fricking around and Russel slowing him down would have just let Ferrar get even closer.

Every other thread is a doomsday melt from “1000x Trump voters” who now “regret their votes”


Yeah, back to 4-6yrs ago when 99% of threads were sucking Trump off at every turn :thup:

Went down a rabbit hole after the post earlier about Apple vs ESPN.... Here's the data. Analysts are saying the first 3 races being flat likely tied to free trials

The biggest callouts as discussed on this board. They fricked up by not putting Miami and Monaco on OTA broadcast.

Alonso points :nana:
Russell gonna get saved by VSC... Best case scenario for Kimi... Opens bigger gap to Ham
Fingers crossed Russell and Ham take each other out
quote:

But Russell is cooked now Hamilton will pass


He was cooked either way. Its do you let Ferrari take 1 or 2 mercs
Here we go, 1 second back.... Kimi gonna take him in lap 66, but too far back to catch Norris.

Either way, frick Russll. I hope Ham and Lec catch him too


ETA: Russell being a bitch. Had they made Kimi stay behind and defend Hamilton, they both woudl have gotten passed.

Damn, Kimi is running, gained 2.5 seconds on Russel in 3 laps

Of course, Russell on the radio talking about playing the team game and Kimi protecting him from the Ferraris
Ant already took a second off of Russel.... He's gonna run down Norris

nvm, they brought him in
They should have put Kimi on softs... he may get run down w/ nearly 20 laps left and those behind on softs and him on old hards

Stepped away for 15 min, wtf happend to Kimi. He was up by 2 seconds or so when I left, how did Norris catch him?

Jesus, Mclaren fricked Piastri with that stop earlier.

Basically fed him right into Norris and now Leclerc and Hamilton. fricked his race.

Configuration of seats was 2/2 is all I can offer .. idk what type plane.


Thats a regional jet, Emraer 175 or similar... A lot of times, their overheads can't fit standard size carryons.

I AVOID flying them at all costs for that reason alone. Similar to comment earlier around having to go to baggage claim. Nothing worse than getting off and standing in the jet bridge waiting for them to pull the bags off.
