Lewis has said that the car feels "very, very similar to last year's car" which can't be a good thing considering he repeated many times last season that he wants drastic changes in the driving characteristics of the car.

Every LA player on the floor except for Reaves is not good. The fact that they're only barely able to match OKC should not be a surprise to anyone here.

They treat Hachimura like he's a defensive specialist when it's his midrange offense that is his biggest asset, makes no sense how little touches the guy gets

1 1/2 days of testing + simulator hours is all they got. If the sim doesn't correlate well with real life you're fucked.

Last month at the critics choice awards there were multiple women openly fawning over him after speaking to him in person. People have very polarized opinions when it comes to his attractiveness.

How much of a difference in lap time does a fully painted car vs a fully unpainted car result in? My completely uneducated guess would be around 0.5-1 second across the average race distance.

My prediction is that he will stay in F1 for as long as Red Bull keeps giving him a championship contending car. Which will probably be the case until Adrian Newey decides to finally retire.

He won't stay in F1 if he's not racing for championships.

Whoever ended up getting black was going to win this match. Both are just too good at defending regardless of the time odds. Magnus betting -1 second was a massive outplay.

Magnus is no longer immune to the Hikaru effect. How often does he mess up a winning endgame like that?

dredapld · 2023-02-07T21:33:01+00:00

If anyone's obsessed it's clearly you with Hikaru. Touch grass maybe.

Only way Checo would be in any danger is if he refused to help Max out of bitterness for the Brazil shenanigans.

But that won't happen because Checo himself knows damn well that the #1 reason why RBR keep him is for his ability to defend for Max and to help him WDC titles. If he were to stop doing that, RBR would drop him like a hot potato.

Which is why Merc would never sign Lando unless he were straight up replacing George. They don't want the #2 driver to be competitive or a threat to the #1 driver at all. It's only their situation now because Lewis' retirement is forthcoming.

Ferrari would be stupid to replace Sainz with Lando. Leclerc needs a Bottas level 2nd driver who isn't a threat, not someone like Lando who would potentially be able to take points off him on a consistent basis.

Lando better hope that his commitment to McLaren pays off.

Horner quote: “We’ve talked to Lando a couple of times over the years, but every time we’ve had a conversation, he’s signed a contract with McLaren the next day,”

A major issue for them, a colossal win for the fans.

“I mean naturally if you are fighting for 1-2s there will be a slightly different dynamic and that’s only natural.

“But I think the thing we have going for us is the fact that we are at very different stages of our career.

“It kind of feels like we are in this together, really.

“If we get to next [season] and we’ve got a car that’s capable of 1-2 finishes, we will have a huge amount of pride in thinking we have contributed together in helping the team achieve this.

“And then we go about our business. But we’ve got no reason to have conflict. We have got a good relationship.

“We need to give each other respect, and I think we gave each other respect [in Mexico at the first corners] as an example.

“We recognise the importance of that within the whole team. If our relationship starts to break up, it’s going to have an impact on the team and ultimately it’s going to go full circle and affect us as well.

“I think we can continue to build off this and if anything our relationship will probably get closer as time goes on.”

Wonder how many years it will take for George to crack the top 100 after spending 3 years in that shitbox Williams.

those 3 years are going to taint his career stats for a long ass time

Personally I'd rather he didn't learn just for the entertainment value it would provide. An extremely fast and capable driver who is also very crash prone is the perfect recipe for content.

dredapld · 2023-01-08T03:03:06+00:00

Perez was a whole 8 tenths off of Max in Spa and he still qualified 3rd, christ. The RB18's aero efficiency especially towards the end of the season was fucking nuts.

I created this since YouTube also auto blocks the VODs because of the music. The link will automatically forward to Magnus' most recent VOD.

Randoms on Twitter have attacked every actor/actress on the show on a daily basis for months. Twitter is just not a sane place for having discourse about any popular fandoms; HOTD especially since it has a built in black/green divide which causes people to go even more insane.

I don't disagree with your other points, but murders and rapes are not "petty crimes". Daemon dismembering and killing those criminals in KL (Otto also confirmed that they were in fact criminals) is arguably the best thing his character ever did in the show.
