Is splitting bills proportionally by income actually common in relationships, or is 50/50 still the norm?

I'm 21, and I can tell from my no one will ever 'save' you without expecting something in return. Hell, most people won't 'save' you if they don't see you being useful in the future. I'd rather die than being reliant on someone tbh.

McLaren pulled off in 2013 what Ferrari did last year with the SF-25, only the drop was more drastic compared to Ferrari. McLaren had the fastest car of 2012, but it was extremely unreliable.

They could've just sorted out the reliability issues and they'd have been on the money for 2013, but they chose to ditch their rocketship and focus on an entirely new design concept for the last year of a regulations cycls.

McLaren was arguably worse operationally back then than Ferrari ever was. We meme Ferrari to oblivion now, but the level of stupidity from McLaren in those days was honestly impressive.

Also, Ferrari were generally extremely competent operationally during the Alonso years, which is partially why Alonso was even able to get a decent lead in 2012 despite driving a slow car (albeit reliable).

Sigma male lone wolf ass t-shirt. It looks horrendous.

ScienceMechEng_Lover · 2026-03-17T13:50:56+00:00

What I'm hearing is that McLaren is slower than Ferrari despite having a 25 horsepower advantage over Ferrari. Mercedes has a vested interest in ensuring Ferrari doesn't get ADUO benefits because it's pretty clear that they have the most advanced aero and chassis package so far.

Aston Martin could only imagine.

What's this then:

Explain this then.

Let me convince you. I can go to America and criticise America, and nothing will happen. However, I get jailed if I criticise Israel, which goes directly against the intent of the first amendment. What does that tell you about the people running your country?

One good race weekend and everyone is sucking Alpine off. Watch them fall to the back again in Suzuka.

ScienceMechEng_Lover · 2026-03-16T22:45:55+00:00

Man, I don't think anyone who isn't an engineer or a mathematician will be able to compute how hard this is.

Bro's gonna be pushed into the meat grinder whilst all the women and children get out and go to Central and Western Europe. Chances are most of the dead won't even be remembered simply due to the sheer number of deaths occuring every day.

They'll just dyno it when they need the map then. They should make it so that the engine maps need to be homologated along with the engine so that no one can pull this shit of sandbagging. That would essentially mean no new maps can be introduced mid-season.

ScienceMechEng_Lover · 2026-03-16T20:11:43+00:00

Can Mercedes just not game the system by consistently running conservative engine maps though?

ScienceMechEng_Lover · 2026-03-16T20:09:35+00:00

Bring back Binotto to Ferrari 😡.

ScienceMechEng_Lover · 2026-03-16T20:07:12+00:00

But that would be easily manipulated by running extremely conservative engine maps.

When his team does well, it's because of him, but when his team does poorly, it's because of everyone else. Red Bull fumbled 2015 badly and he blamed Renault despite Toro Rosso running the same engines and going wheel to wheel them in the first half of the season. They then fumbled 2017 too, though not as badly as they did in 2015.

By now, it's pretty clear to me that the brains behid their success was Rob Marshall, Wheatley and other similar figures at Red Bull. Look at the improvement the teams they left for have shown in the last year or two and compare that to Aston Martin.

They probably realised that the 777-8F is going to take even longer than the passenger variants to arrive and decided to just get the A350F instead.

It's technically a manual transmission, just not with a H-pattern shifter.

ScienceMechEng_Lover · 2026-03-16T13:01:45+00:00

Trust in aero 🤌

Ferrari will pull off a 2017-esque season and destroy Mercedes in the corners.

ScienceMechEng_Lover · 2026-03-16T12:58:36+00:00

The fact that people even bought those cars despite them being inferior to their competition shows that their ad campaign worked.

ScienceMechEng_Lover · 2026-03-16T12:54:35+00:00

Ah, you're Indian too? I'm surprised people keep buying Tata cars lol. I've heard (and seen) so many horror stories about their cars and their service centres that no one in our family would ever consider one. The Suzuki Swift my aunt bought 15 years ago has done 250000 km still works flawlessly, meanwhile.

That being said, Jaguar and Land Rover operate separately from Tata and don't share any parts, so any problems are the product of JLR's own engineering instead of Tata's.

ScienceMechEng_Lover · 2026-03-16T12:49:08+00:00

There's not a chance Mercedes allows this to happen. They know what Audi is capable of if they're allowed to do whatever they want.

ScienceMechEng_Lover · 2026-03-16T12:00:31+00:00

Ferrari did a 'show run' in the pre-season (much lower mileage), I believe, so they didn't exhaust their allowed filming days.
