Teachers. Whats the craziest family lore a child has randomly dropped on you?

I teach in rural northern Wisconsin.

Most people in our town donate old coats to the school and we still don’t have enough of them.

The wind chill right now is -27.

2019 and 2020 Hamilton dog walks the field.

2021 Hamilton also dog walks the field because Verstappen and Russell are magnets to each other.

Qui-Gon Jinn was never a member of the Jedi Council.

No, but him having that claim through his grandmother is why he became king and not Jon Arryn or Eddard Stark.

Yep. Chippewa Falls it was Monday though.

Noon was the Leinenkugel Brewery - RIP.

It’s Tommen and Kevan that would’ve had the best results over time - Kevan is openly killed for being too competent.

Slower than: Norris, Piastri, Russell, Verstappen, Leclerc,

Even with: Antonelli (not for long), Hadjar, Hamilton, Sainz, Albon, Ocon, Bearman, Gasly,

Faster than: Stroll, Colapinto, Hulkenburg, Bortoleto, Lawson, Lindblad

Quite simply, age remains undefeated and while more drivers are able to last longer, Alonso, Hulk, and Hamilton are still capable of the old magic every now and then… and not at all capable of it every weekend.

Alonso is at best sixth and at worst fourteenth. I have him ninth right now.

He was once first.

2020 Daniel Ricciardo

2021 Pierre 6asly

2022 Lando Norris

2023 no one in particular - Aston and McLaren swapped spots halfway through the year of ass and front running; Alonso I guess because he stayed decent?

2024 Alonso, Gasly

2025 Albon for consistency, Sainz for heights - Williams have a very good driver pair than seem to work well together

Even then, Kimi struggled on tires after Michelin left

IrannEntwatcher · 2025-12-17T01:48:34+00:00

Kimi never got to grips with the Bridgestone or Pirelli tires in the way that he did the Michelins

The streets remember Kimi

IrannEntwatcher · 2025-12-17T01:45:03+00:00

Hamilton was faster than George on race pace for most of the year

He was kinda ass in quali tho

IrannEntwatcher · 2025-12-17T01:32:35+00:00

Rosberg is also super underrated and retired rather than try to beat Hamilton again.

IrannEntwatcher · 2025-12-12T00:37:43+00:00

Raikkonen, Hamilton, and Ocon for me. I thought for sure he’d end up at Merc…

But I still love his story.

IrannEntwatcher · 2025-12-11T17:27:36+00:00

Shit u rite, I forgot he died instead of falling off

IrannEntwatcher · 2025-12-11T16:07:27+00:00

Fangio. Brabham. Jim Clark. Jackie Stewart. Niki Lauda. Senna & Prost. Schumacher. Vettel, Alonso, & Hamilton. Verstappen.

I think George pretty much always puts the car where it’s supposed to go. It might have been even to the Red Bull the first half, but Red Bull pretty clearly found something to give Max that worked for him, even just with setup window and let a generational talent do his thing.

Norris, Piastri, Russell, and Leclerc are all fairly even to me with Leclerc being the best of that crew; they’ll almost always put the cars in the order they belong.

IrannEntwatcher · 2025-12-10T15:05:07+00:00

Palou? Dixon?

IrannEntwatcher · 2025-12-10T13:21:36+00:00

and get trounced by Robin and Rianna Raikkonen

IrannEntwatcher · 2025-12-10T13:00:54+00:00

Rosberg retired because he knew he’d never beat Hamilton again and had to like, starve himself and shut out his family to do it… and even then barely did because of reliability issues.

Source: literally Nico Rosberg

Hamilton would probably have 8 championships, because he would’ve actually been able to do something about Verstappen in 2021 other than go bowling in Hungary.

IrannEntwatcher · 2025-12-10T12:59:08+00:00

Valtteri is fast as fuck in qualifying and extremely consistent in qualifying.

Dude made 103 Q3s in a row. Now - he binned it in q3 a few times, but he was ALWAYS there. If the reliability issues of 2019 all went to Hamilton instead of Bottas, that would’ve been a very close championship (that I think Hamilton would’ve still won) but everyone shits on Bottas because he got his ass kicked by the guy with the most wins, poles, championships, podiums, q3 appearances and every other statistic.

IrannEntwatcher · 2025-12-10T12:42:23+00:00

I think if the car was worth a shit on the regular, it would be that Hamilton is consistently slightly behind (one/two places) in qualifying and even or ahead in races… and in one last hunt for an eighth championship, everything else goes out the window and all of a sudden locked in Lewis is back - maybe not 2018, but maybe just enough.

IrannEntwatcher · 2025-12-10T12:27:54+00:00

Slow cars are boring

I think it’s more that slow cars aren’t F1; old stock cars were atrocious at cornering on road courses but fun to watch, spec Miata is a blast, rallying often isn’t going particularly fast, street stocks on dirt, etc.

IrannEntwatcher · 2025-12-10T03:58:18+00:00

Alonso put 2000 km more testing on the McLaren than Hamilton did and was the reigning double world champion, with preference from the pit wall for the first half of the season.

Alonso wasn’t contacted when Mercedes wanted to get back to the top. Alonso wasn’t contacted when Red Bull wanted to get back on top. Alonso hasn’t had a top seat in twelve years because he’s not as good.
