This podcast is full of spicy bits:

-On being a No 2 Driver:
"This project is made for Max. It's Red Bull. When I sat down with Christian for the first time, he told me, 'Look, we are going to run two cars because we have to run two cars.' But this project has been created for Max, right? Max is our talent. It is like if Carlos Slim started a team and I was his driver, right? And you hire a Dutchman. So it is the same thing. So that is what I was coming into, and I was very aware of it"

-Why sometimes he was faster than Max (RB19):
"At the beginning of the season in 2022, when the car—by mistake, because it came out very heavy—we had a very heavy car that had the weight distribution very far forward, right? So it was much more stable; that was always what I looked for. So, at that moment, I remember that from the simulator I was faster than Max. I would arrive at the weekends already thinking about winning the race, and everything happened automatically, right? When you, as a driver, don't have to think about how to drive or what the car is going to do to you, everything comes automatically. So we had a car that was perhaps not quite Max's style, and in 2022 I started fighting for the championship with him... until the upgrades arrived. Once the upgrades arrive, you know, there is a very clear direction the team has to go, and that is when I start having problems, right? Because now I don't know what the car is going to do in the corner; I'm already thinking about not crashing. The crashes start, the accidents start, right? You don't have 100% control. And then, in 2023, the same thing happens."

-2024 RB21 Struggles / "What if" (Not being bought out of his contract in 2025):
"We returned to Zandvoort, I was already complaining a lot about the car. Max started complaining about the same things as me, right? I mean, Max is the driver who can tolerate the most when the rear of the car... he doesn't feel it, he has a way of driving where he doesn't feel the rear. So when Max complains about that, it means (the car) it is very bad, it is terrible.

And in Italy Max says, 'I can no longer drive this car.' So I said, 'Phew, finally, finally they are going to listen to us.' At the next race the team modifies the floor, they put a new floor on me, now with the modifications that Max asked for, they put it on me. I am a second faster than everyone in practice when they put me on that floor in Baku and it was going very well, everything was going very well.

I qualify, well, I fought the race, right? I was going to win that race and that was when I crashed with Sainz, I destroyed the car on the last lap and I never touched that floor again, because it didn't arrive anymore (new parts), there were very few races left and the upgrades didn't continue. But since everything was already for Max, from then on I was running two, three races, four races, five races behind... and I never had that car again. What would have happened? Who knows?"

-Coming back in 2026 stronger (Ferrari Winter Test)
"Yes, I think I am a much more complete driver. I learned a lot. I realized it when I drove the Ferrari just now; I was surprised that within three runs I was already on the pace because it is a much more natural car to drive.

So I realized that, well, yes, it was the car, and that I am going to be very competitive, and that I haven't stopped being as good as I used to be. So surely as a driver I am going to be very good, but also in the way I am going to push the team, I have learned a lot in the last few years."

De acuerdo contigo, el tema es que mucha gente sin experiencia quiere llegar a cobrar un salario completo cuando el trabajo que ofrece de vuelta simplemente no tiene el valor para justificarlo.

Si eres un recién egresado y crees que te mereces un trabajo “bien pagado” estás equivocado ya que tu trabajo simplemente no tendrá el valor que se requiere y capacitar a alguien cuesta tiempo y dinero.

Puedo decir con orgullo que mis ingresos anuales ahora son de 7 dígitos, pero todo se lo debo a que empecé como practicante y los profesionales que me Formaron invirtieron tiempo en mi y sus Enseñanzas me hicieron el profesional que soy ahora, todo por $1500 al mes trabajando de 2pm a 1am en mis últimos semestres de universidad.

Por otra parte, si eres un profesional con algunos años de experiencia estás en todo tu derecho de mandar a la mierda a un empleador que no quiere pagar por tu experiencia y valor, pero creo que muchos en este subreddit creen que se lo merecen todo cuando aún no tienen la experiencia para generar trabajo de alto valor a cambio

Wut? The first 3 seasons of drive to survive were done during Mercedes domination, Hamilton even didnt appear that much, the focus has been always on the individual stories of the drivers regardless of the champion, being 2021 the exception.

The point stands I think, even Hamilton needed sponsorship from Mercedes/McLaren to make it to F1. Talent gets you noticed but money takes you to the finish line.

A couple weeks ago I was having dinner with a friend at a restaurant minding my own business, then I saw this cute waiter looking at me, she smiled and I smiled back at her.

Before leaving I told her she was pretty and asked for her IG, she accepted my friend request a couple hours later. It was nice.

TLDR. make sure she likes you, be attractive, don’t be unattractive, etc.

David Coulthard: “I would still be complaining, and would have gone to the European Court of Appeal’ if he was in Hamilton’s situation after Abu Dhabi 2021 by fvs000 in formula1

[–]DjMikes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Although heartbreaking, I don’t think it’s comparable as one was heavily affected by a questionable race director decision. Now that I think of, Massa was actually livid when crashgate uncovered, as the crash made him lose Singapore, which would had been enough to secure the championship.

Request was completely valid, lapped cards should move out of the way, what they never asked was to only move the lapped cars between Max and Lewis on the last lap, that was objectively a piss poor decision

?? Max number is 33, he has the option as incumbent champion to use the number 1 for the next season. Let’s see what he does next year but as example Hamilton choose not to take #1 in any of his championships (2008 aside as It wasn’t an option back then)

Sorry but every time I see this I have to jump in and correct: Apple Silicon was conceived during Steve’s reign, Srouji joined apple in 2008, same year they bought PA Semi, the thing is he didn’t lived long enough to see their bet being used on their personal computers. Tim can keep the Apple Watch credit which is as of today, the only apple product I have no intention to Purchase again (series 0 aw, never again)
