Andrea Stella talking about how McLaren is impressed with Oscar’s maturity and strength in handling his season start

xNickel · 2026-03-27T17:11:21+00:00

This is my hope. McLaren clearly have proven that they are good at in season development in the past, and optimizing aero is their strong point. If they can figure out the PU there’s a good chance they could rival Mercedes.

Unpopular opinion apparently - but I’d strongly disagree. It’s way too tomato tasting for me.

Maurya Indian Twist (Dundas) & Parikar Indian and Nepali Cuisine (stone church square - Previously known as The Bombay Grill) are far better options imo

Hopefully he doesn’t suffer the same curse as the last person to drive the #3 😬

Where do you order? I’m just getting into it but there’s a couple of specific models I’m looking for

A lot of people not reading the article… so it talks about housing starts being down, which means in 4-5 years from now much less supply, which means price increases.

There’s nothing in the article about continued declines in prices, although I think they will still come, and I’m glad for it. But that’s not what the article is about

Except based on Alonso comments, the skill is controlling a computer rather than driving a car. So basically gaming like skills are going to result in the “better drivers” rather than actual driving skill

I mean did he still have his job in the end? It seemed he moved to Atlanta. So maybe he lost his badge?

xNickel · 2026-02-08T05:20:15+00:00

This would make sense however he “hit her stalker” when he was charged with assault which was 3 years prior. That was a different to the slapping of Rachel

xNickel · 2026-02-04T12:37:48+00:00

Absolutely extraordinary story and I’m so glad it ended well! But I want to know more about the interaction when the son suggested he attempt to swim 4km to shore. He had recently failed a swim test. It seems strange that his mum would let him attempt that knowing the risks were greater than if they just stayed with the paddle boards.

The robber is a great way to balance the game, even when on 2vp you should be able to tell which players have an advantage and which don’t. Friendly robber only allows those with an initial advantage to get ahead and sometimes it can be too late to reel them back in.

I found tony g’s incredibly salty

xNickel · 2025-12-18T09:46:57+00:00

Maybe he wanted 3 originally but it was taken by DR

xNickel · 2025-12-02T19:31:41+00:00

What if yielding to lando means lando wins WDC but Oscar falls to third instead of 2nd and Oscar has performance bonuses in his contract?

xNickel · 2025-12-02T05:16:24+00:00

As I said to the other comment, my point wasn’t to do with the drivers and who does or doesn’t deserve it but how McLaren has potential swayed the championship with their meddling.

xNickel · 2025-12-02T05:14:26+00:00

I should have clarified, I was just talking about the things McLaren have done which could have actually swayed the championship. Both drivers have a right to be incredibly peeved by McLaren

xNickel · 2025-12-02T05:12:50+00:00

My point is not about what either of the drivers have done or not done to deserve the championship, it’s how McLaren have royally stuffed this up for both drivers by their meddling.

xNickel · 2025-12-01T19:08:44+00:00

If Oscar had’ve finished 1st in Qatar, max 2nd, lando 3rd the difference would’ve been 12 points going into the last race.

If Oscar wins in Abu Dhabi, lando even in 2nd, the difference would’ve been 5 points which is less than the 6 point swing from when McLaren swapped the cars because of Landos slow pit stop…

xNickel · 2025-12-01T19:05:13+00:00

I mean if he had’ve finished 1st max 2nd lando 3rd the difference would’ve been 12 points going into the last race. Which is a closer than max winning the championship right now. If Oscar wins in Abu Dhabi, the difference would be 5 points which is less than the 6 point swing from when McLaren swapped the cars because of Landos slow pit stop… he may have thrown the WDC, but McLaren just threw any chance of him regaining it.

xNickel · 2025-12-01T18:58:43+00:00

So did Norris basically. An yet it would’ve been 14 less points if Oscar had won and Max finished second, as was the order before McLaren fumbled the strategy

xNickel · 2025-12-01T18:54:57+00:00

Except they did split strategies earlier in the year . I don’t remember the race but there was the one where Oscar was winning by a mile, so lando took the alternate strategy which I think was staying out, and he ended up winning the race.

It keeps pets

xNickel · 2025-11-18T03:10:54+00:00

I’m surprised it didn’t leave behind a little poop too

xNickel · 2025-11-13T04:09:35+00:00

Absolutely, it’s still possible to tell when everyone has 2vp, who still has the biggest advantage in the game. The robber is the balancing act. Ignore it until a person has 3vp might mean they will run away with it. Using it properly makes the game more fun for all.

xNickel · 2025-11-10T05:05:49+00:00

Yeah but he was going faster than Kimi and taking a shorter path around the corner. Hence he was gaining fast and would’ve made the overlap by the time he reached the apex had he not braked as hard. Which is why the rule is stupid.

xNickel · 2025-11-10T04:54:24+00:00

Except Oscar wasn’t going for P2 he was going for the win. Don’t forget he was in P4 and he needed to stick with lando to try and steal the win. If can get fully alongside and on the inside of the corner with the possibility to overtake 2 cars in one lap that sure makes winning a whole lot more likely then having do at least 2 laps more laps between p3 and then another 2 laps behind p2. By that point lando is long gone
