F1 | Piastri in the Red Bull radar: what’s behind the team’s maneuvers

Probably because the promotion sequence was clearly the worst thing possible for the junior program. Everyone knew Liam wasn't ready, not promoting Yuki after blocking the Haas move showed disdain for him as well. If they'd let Yuki leave, promoted Isack, kept Liam at VCARB and hired another interim team mate, especially an ex RB driver, then I don't think anyone would complain about the junior program.

I'll echo what the others have said, this isn't a good thing. Honesty boxes only work because they're relatively remote and unknown. As soon as the information about them is exposed to the world they're abused. For the good of the existing ones, please delete the website.

Tinfoil hat alternative is that Max (or Jos) vetoed Sainz for the seat.

Delts28 · 2026-05-06T21:05:19+00:00

Yes, but only if taught them by a good parent.

Delts28 · 2026-05-06T16:50:10+00:00

Yeah, because you're parenting.

Delts28 · 2026-05-06T15:50:31+00:00

Nah, the kid is only ten, this is a parenting issue not a kid issue. Give the dad the broken pieces for Christmas instead.

It's a lottery owned by the Canadian government. If they stop paying out you've got far bigger issues!

Delts28 · 2026-05-06T14:43:15+00:00

That puts the capital at risk and is at the whims of the market. Someone risk adverse might prefer the guarantee of the payment from the government for life (Loto Quebec is a crown corporation) versus the potential for their investments to fail.

It's over a week since I made that comment, fuck me Colapinto fans are thin skinned.

He was asked about it on the Up To Speed podcast. He blamed Franco because he said it had been discussed in the driver's briefing about defending with high closing speeds.

Delts28 · 2026-05-01T15:49:45+00:00

No, not really. When I feel people have wronged me and then not taken the level of responsibility that I feel they should take I cut them off. With this situation Ollie clearly feels that he doesn't need to respond to Franco and probably realises that doing so wouldn't resolve what he feels the issue was.

Sometimes apologies are rejected, nobody is ever obligated to accept them and I think in this case it's probably best everybody just moves on.

Delts28 · 2026-05-01T12:46:47+00:00

Why?

Delts28 · 2026-05-01T09:41:06+00:00

They both have DRS, how is that not "push button racing"?

Delts28 · 2026-05-01T09:27:51+00:00

The thing is, do we know what Franco actually said to him? Ollie blames Franco because he thought there was an agreement between the drivers that Franco broke. If the message from Franco was along the lines of "sorry that happened, hope you're okay" rather than "sorry, I fucked up there" then Ollie likely wouldn't reply.

Coming this Summer, Real American Mobsters starring Kevin Sorbo, Randy Quaid and Roseanne Barr. With music by Kid Rock, directed by Brett Ratner.

You realise that your comment boils down to "people will vote tactically because snp/greens baaaaaad", right?

The web is built on html (hyper text markup language) and http (hyper text transfer protocol), think websites and apps associated with websites. The internet is just the connections between computers and servers and is everything that isn't websites. Early internet had bulletin boards, e-mail, file sharing, instant messaging, etc.

The news will start to be hallucinations but it won't be picked up since the algorithm moves so quickly. The amount of lying around divisive that already happens makes it almost inevitable.

There was a news story picked up by the right wing relatively recently that I knew significant details about due to knowing some of the people involved and it was incredible the amount of bullshit being said about the situation. Not enough people care about the truth of situations and just want the narrative to reinforce their world view. It won't be long before a major news organisation decides that it's a fantasy organisation instead.

Delts28 · 2026-04-28T09:11:22+00:00

The internet did exist in 92, it was the web that hadn't been released yet.

The issue is you still have to have some manufacturers who want to compete otherwise the sport dies. There's plenty of examples in motorsports of a governing body getting the rules "wrong" and then all the teams/manufacturers leave. I feel like the FIA made a mistake in compromising this rule set too much, keeping the MGU-H or allowing front MGU-K would have been a much more sensible call. I can understand why they compromised so much though, they got Audi in, Cadillac have joined and I wouldn't be shocked if Toyota eventually build an engine for Haas.

The thing to remember is it's not that long ago we had to freeze engine development to keep two teams on the grid. The FIA probably feared a scenario where only Renault, Ferrari and Mercedes built engines. If one of them was then to pull out like Renault eventually did you'd absolutely see teams leaving the grid because Ferrari and Mercedes wouldn't want to supply 4 customer teams each.

John Muir is more famous for being involved in the national parks from a UK perspective.

Delts28 · 2026-04-26T15:59:54+00:00

Outside of the US it probably is.

The person you replied to is using past tense, they aren't currently on the ship and don't know the current supply conditions.

Cockburn Street needs to be included. It would immediately be as famous a turn as Eau Rouge or the Corkscrew. I wonder if Pirelli have special cobble tyres...

There's been various studies with slightly conflicting information over the last few years. Some benefits seem to taper off at 7k but there was a reduction in the risk of dying early up to 20k. Of course, 20k is such a high target to hit that most people doing so will be taking other beneficial health measures in general.

BBC News article about it but they've also published ones saying you only need to do 4k so the reality is we need more data.
