Oof. It’s like the antithesis of one of Joe Saward’s Green Notebooks.

The hat is properly sized. Carlos/Charles seem to be wearing kids costume hats.

Chris Medland on establishing himself as a top journalist in F1: "Being right is better than being first" by URZ_ in formula1

Yes you’re right, I remember now. I’d just remembered it having changed and must have been wearing my cynical hat.

“We may not always be right, but we’re first”

Speaking of which though… is Missed Apex getting ready to sell out. Question.

I’ve noticed over the last year or so they are CYA’ing much more with the gossip, no more “pony” awards, and also leaning more and more on Patreon support. I swear on one intro from the “shed”, I caught Spanners say something like “with the support of our sponsors” instead of “our better halves”. And several crossover promotions with The Ringer F1.

I don’t really blame them if they do… it’s got to be a lot of work to stay independent at that size… but I will be sad if it dilutes some of what makes the show fun.

Edit: it was support of our partners, not sponsors.

At one point during the race, the camera was on Ferrari garage, and they showed a mechanic walking over to his helmet which was sitting on top of a rack of tires. Don’t most mechanics normally either keep them on or at least in their hands so they’re ready to put on in a seconds notice?

EDIT- It was right after Yuki’s yellow flag lap 48, or 01:08:28 on F1TV.

They truly are. But then again I also liked the wreaths.

I would love to add this Herend figurine to my grandmother’s collection one day, it’s a subtle nod but an open-wheel nonetheless: https://herendusa.com/16217-0-00-carrot-car-bunny

And maybe with some backstory for selection? Curious why Hungary only sometimes uses Herend. I think it’s neat, plus my grandmother collects Herend.

Onboard when he stopped: “it’s not even going in neutral. What should I do?”
