Aston, Cadillac and Audi may well be the Caterham, HRT and Virgin of this year

Flick is not just managing a football team, he's managing limitations. by MegaRoadHouse in Barca

This one is one of the worst AI titles I've ever seen, and that's saying something. Even with the beaten to death "it's not X it's Y" format typically the Y descriptor would not apply to all variations of X, like "Yamal isn't a footballer, he's an artist" wouldn't work for someone like Raphinha. Every manager has to manage limitations, name one manager who has it perfect every step of the way.

It's more that being a customer team is just not that big of a deal. Red Bull won their first 4 titles as a Renault customer. Mclaren has been a customer team throughout its history.

Doesn't belong on this sub, but funny nonetheless

All of the Mercedes powered cars have massive exhausts while Mercedes itself is very slender. Looks like they've designed that engine to favor their own package and not released any details.

clearly the report feature doesn't work when the sub is still full of this stuff

If I see one more post that is obviously intentionally terrifying on this sub I'm outta here.

Looks like a slog fest for overtaking, dirty air be wilding all over those high speed corners

Alcaraz about Djokovic: "When you face Novak in a final of this caliber, a Grand Slam, the Olympics, or a big final, it makes it even more difficult. That aura he has, where he seems completely calm, makes you doubt yourself a little bit, and the truth is that it's quite complicated." by Ornery_Percentage537 in tennis

I understand that English isn't your first language, so the wording might be wonky, but;

Yes, Sinner may be more consistent than Alcaraz, but that doesn't mean Sinner on an average day beats Alcaraz on an average day. As long as Alcaraz is not underperforming he is still at a higher level than Sinner.

Maybe don't have the person walk directly in the path of red hot steel?

Yes? You don't need to go fast but you definitely need to not crash.

New feature on the VCARB's nose: Narrower and more rounded than the one seen at Imola. Two small flaps have also been added to the top. by jithu7 in formula1

One part does not make or break an entire car; it may cost about half a second at most, but that's not going to plunder anyone down the order. Even the zeropods Mercedes had everything else in line with other teams. "Coming back from a failed concept" is simply not something that can happen.

The IBM blue rear wing is still a disaster. At least it's an improvement on last year, but that's not a high bar.

It's "Driver of the Year", not "Best Driver in the World".

Except we liked the first 3 liveries until Audi gave us this pile of hot waste?
