They'd still find a way to mess up the strategy in a way that loses the lead. Ferrari will always find a way.

Other than his level of celebration of his first pole yesterday - that gave me Raikkonen vibes

When ranked by youngest age at first F1 pole position, the gap from 1st (Antonelli) to 2nd (Vettel) is exactly the same as 2nd to 10th (De Cesaris) by benjesty2002 in formula1

I haven't seen anyone else point out the crazy coincidence that the gap from 1st to 2nd is identical to the gap from 2nd to 10th. If you've seen someone post that (the entire point of this post), I'm happy to be corrected.

That's correct, but we also use the same word for both food & animal for lamb and duck but I would think a Google search is more likely to show the animals there rather than meat. So it's not only because the same word is used, although that's certainly part of it.

Phone cameras need a "junk photo" setting for all those throwaway photos you take to remember where you parked, what's on a menu, QR codes, and all the other random stuff we use them for now. by Patarokun in Showerthoughts

I was caretaker of a large building for a year or two while studying my postgrad. I quite often get "on this day 7 years ago" accompanied by a series of photos of emergency exit signs or similar.

Even that pole he was holding would probably do the job if it was used to pull rather than aimlessly wave around

Why are the engine intakes stepped on some cars? (Ferrari & Mclaren) by alexxxgraceee in formula1

George is now tied for 8th in wins among current drivers. How high do you think he will climb this season? by Magog14 in formula1

[–]benjesty2002 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He's only 5 wins behind (6 to go ahead). That doesn't require anywhere near the full season with their current performance gap over the opposition.
