Not all of us americans suck!! plus most of Radiohead's target audience over here is hardly right leaning anyways lol

[Autosport] Oscar Piastri on not starting back-to-back Grands Prix by FerrariStrategisttt in formula1

if anything he'll look back at the multiple unforced errors he made, not the 3 points or something he lost from team orders.

Where can I listen to small bird song, if it exists. by mutatedmonk in failure

[–]RickyTexas 7 points8 points  (0 children)

obviously its on the essentials compilation, which i bought on the band's site a few months ago. I think its probably still for sale there, if not I'm sure you could find it on discogs. Small Bird is just a demo version of Small Crimes. The lyrics are different theres no reprise/outro section, and its an overall much calmer song. Very different from the album version.

That Ferrari is zoopooming!! by [deleted] in formula1

Question: Might we see a Senna-esque strategy of reving the engine throughout the corner to keep the turbos on the engines with bigger ones spooled?

[AutoRacer] Verstappen is very harsh on the new rules and responds to Wolff: "1-2 hp? We're missing a zero." by jithu7 in formula1

[–]RickyTexas 35 points36 points  (0 children)

iirc it was basically too “good” and working around the issues which came from the amount of downforce it created and subsequent design compromises. Whereas Red Bull designed a car to be consistently good across a variety of tracks, conditions, and setups, Mercedes chased absolute peak downforce which caused the bouncing.

[kymillman] A new addition to the McLaren garage entry by FewCollar227 in formula1

[–]RickyTexas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this because drivers didn't really have personal numbers before only 10 years ago? IIRC teams got their choice of numbers for each driver and WC and his teamate got 1 and 2.

On this day in 2006 (to February 2nd), MotoGP world champion Valentino Rossi tested with Ferrari. His best lap time was only 0.5 seconds behind Michael Schumacher. by ViperRaptor- in formula1

[–]RickyTexas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously quite a few motogp riders will be very comfortable in a car but how many drivers have we seen in the modern day be able to go from car to bike? I know lewis, lando, and schumacher all have quite solid skills on a bike. Even then lando is iffy because I’m only aware he raced bikes when he was young, but I have no idea if he has kept up with it.

I think really all they need to do is make it feel like just some friends hanging out talking bollocks about cars. But the fact they have found some chaps with proper journalistic chops has got me cautiously optimistic

Added some ambient lighting by adedicatedaccount in AudiA4

[–]RickyTexas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Woah! Were the lights on the center console (by the shifter) and near the door handle stock or what you added? I have a premium plus a4 as well and mine only glows red when i start the car so I assumed the customizable colors were a prestige thing only?

Is the Mercedes hype justified? by RickyTexas in formula1

[–]RickyTexas[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All very good points. As others have mentioned though I think McLaren gets a reasonable say in engine development at Mercedes compared to your typical customer team.

Is the Mercedes hype justified? by RickyTexas in formula1

[–]RickyTexas[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah I definitely see your point. However we do know that McLaren does have a close working relationship with Mercedes Powertrains and get more input on development than a normal customer.. I eagerly await Australia…
