The environment was at least counter balanced with the benefit that Newey could build a championship contending car. Those days may be gone now. Is it worth going through the meat grinder to be in the mid-field there?

If anyone believes this, I am a bridge salesman.

I'd definitely have to make a burner account before answering this honestly.

As much as I look forward to DTS the week that it airs, I pretty much forget all about it the week after when we get back to racing. It'd be nice if they could get it out a month before the season starts or something so it has a little longer to soak in your mind.

I knew they'd blow the Ricciardo angle though. Everything you think is going to be a big part of the season they just end up glossing over.

Even with the Toto conflict, it would be a billion times better than the current situation. Take my money.

They're wired to want to win so they're going to do whatever and say whatever it takes in the context of the sport. It's great that they can hang that persona up when they leave the race track though and just be relaxed about it. What makes F1 great is the personalities that we get to see and them interacting. I've watched a lot of endurance racing (WEC) and it's something you rarely get, mostly because of the number of drivers involved and how few races there are per year.

Should've made it a 4 stop requirement if adding one is going to make it that much better.

Oh hey they switched the timings font to be consistent with the countdown today. 👍🏻

For a second there, I thought I missed a Mercedes announcement of a new driver. 😄

Is he going by Andrea, Kimi or Andrea-Kimi? F1's site isn't prepared for this yet in some cases.

Looks better to me. Less transparency is better.

I really hated that ghost outline around the edge. Made it seem like artifacting from an analog conversion or something.

I'm not in love with the number font though. Also why are the number fonts different between the countdown and the timings?

They did this on Top Gear (or Grand Tour maybe, can't remember). Personally, cooking doneness aside, I wouldn't want some exhaust leakage from the engine or burning oil that's seeping from a gasket to taint the flavor of the food even if there were a guarantee of no carcinogens from it.

 

I haven't been to Little Rey but I'd like to check this out.

Max should continue disrespecting as long as George continues to whine about Max not just moving over for him.
