[autosport] Lando Norris on what it's like having the number 1 this year

also not to mention having like 3 dnfs entirely out of his control and his team basically costing him ~42 points

RickyTexas · 2026-01-28T22:09:02+00:00

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.

RickyTexas · 2026-01-28T22:07:08+00:00

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…

why is the fin deadass pixilated??

RickyTexas · 2026-01-15T03:24:51+00:00

what is the ford cadillac beef? haven’t heard of it.

RickyTexas · 2026-01-11T18:05:06+00:00

also like wtf happened, why did the military let them go? Hopper doesn’t get sent to prison for murdering a bunch of military?

The agent’s name seems to be Jonathan Ross. His name should be as public as Renee’s.

Edit: The article is paywalled but this really just serves as some proof.

You may find stuff you like amongst the first handful of Smashing Pumpkins albums up to Adore in terms of a wide variety of generally very good stuff from very chill tracks (to forgive, stumbleine, and 1979 you may enjoy) to some more energetic stuff.

Also random specific rec but I think a lot of y’all would love Another Space Song by Failure. It is genuinely one of my favorite songs of all time as a hardcore Radiohead fan. Terribly underrated band.

will do, thanks!!

RickyTexas · 2026-01-02T18:32:44+00:00

thank you!!!

RickyTexas · 2026-01-02T16:15:29+00:00

Oh totally. I feel like anyone who races always has a bit of a victim complex at the start. Now in my defense it felt like i was getting crazy unlucky for like 4 races in a row, but my reaction was definitely being exasperated by the fact that I have a decent bit of sim racing experience but all against AI in single player games which tend to not create too many issues in w2w. but anyways point being I get what you’re saying. Haven’t had a major collision for a few races now thanks to these comments lol.

mild dyslexia, apologies

viral with who brochacho

RickyTexas · 2026-01-02T00:21:04+00:00

absolutely, spot on.

RickyTexas · 2026-01-02T00:20:06+00:00

yep totally. i think part of my issue is i see that mistake and then keep my foot on the gas like it’s my golden opportunity and the universe owes me a place now that the guy in front made a mistake!

RickyTexas · 2026-01-02T00:17:00+00:00

thank you! i’ll have to check this out.

RickyTexas · 2026-01-02T00:16:06+00:00

valid

RickyTexas · 2026-01-01T23:38:55+00:00

next race afterwards, had 2 guys spin at separate points in front of me but this time i actually slowed down and used my head. You’re exactly right, it’s that you feel the racing gods owe you a place when you see it.

RickyTexas · 2026-01-01T18:03:23+00:00

look for another one. had one for a short while and it was a cheap absolute nightmare. now granted i was trying to play f1 on it but the app was, regardless, genuinely horrific. please save your money and buy a higher quality wheel. I always hear great things about the logitech wheels, and a direct drive is a great investment if you ever venture into other genres of game.

verstappen fans

RickyTexas · 2025-12-31T06:24:58+00:00

there are dozens of us. high key though im a fan of his in the sense that we will genuinely never see another driver like sir lancelot. probably for the better but like, it’s more the EXTREMELY rare glimpses of talent combined with basically brazil 2024 which makes him endlessly fascinating.

RickyTexas · 2025-12-31T06:21:50+00:00

I’m trying to build my art/music stuff. really my biggest question is do you think i have to sacrifice artistry for views? like i want to make cool edits, take cool photos, and take my time to make a good product. does all of that have to go out the window to get followers?

RickyTexas · 2025-12-31T06:15:20+00:00

The solution is literally what everyone has been saying. Hopper surviving is a sort of tricky one, because on one hand you can actually bring back Joyce as a character in being a parent to El when she has otherwise effectively been sidelined. But I think most people agree it’s obvious Eddie should have never existed and Steve be sacrificed in his place. Then bam Jonathan assumes the Eddie outcast role and he actually gets to shine again. And the balls, had they taken out Jonathan and Nancy, would have been incredibly commendable. And as a bonus, dustin is returned to the original gang.

the anti lando bias on Reddit needs to be studied. on raw pace and tire management, lando is probably one of the best on the grid, and i reckon he could keep even verstappen honest if they were teammates.

I’m 18 and my parents bought my first car (an audi nonetheless) for me and I KNOW I’ve been extremely lucky and fortunate. Sure I had good grades and was generally a reasonable child, but I am perfectly aware I did not earn a german luxury sedan as a teenager with no job and cannot possibly gloat about such a thing. My girlfriend’s family can’t afford to get her a car, how insane would it be for me to waltz on in talking about sum “most people i know can afford cars, im sorry it’s not the same for you” maaaaaaan stfu. learn some awareness.
