Hey I'd like for Honda to not gently caress a race up for Nando for once too. But I'm a realist.

its still pretty bad, they definitely are spacing out the shifts to go easy on the engine and there was a few times it sounded like it dropped below the powerband. Its frustrating as gently caress to think where he would've qualified if that engine wasn't a heap.

It's amazing how Honda can go from blowing up to completing a whole test without realising anything has changed, cook another engine in a free practise and then the next one they put in gets Nando to 7th. At least if they were consistently poo poo it would be understandable - they must be on full "throw poo poo at wall" mode.

I want a Fernando Alonso kart

Is that what this is? Or is it just a kart painted in his colours?
My older brother bought one for his daughter, that's her there. She's 7 years old. :3


Also; Alonso's MCLRN sounds like it's an old Combi van when it rattles over bumps. The engineers might need to tighten the screws in the dashboard or something.

I swear, other drivers in the top cars on the grid must be thanking their lucky stars Alonso is stuck in the broken McLaren Honda. He'd be crushing everyone in a reasonably capable car.

NASA lost its $125-million Mars Climate Orbiter because spacecraft engineers failed to convert from English to metric measurements when exchanging vital data before the craft was launched, space agency officials said Thursday.

A navigation team at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory used the metric system of millimeters and meters in its calculations, while Lockheed Martin Astronautics in Denver, which designed and built the spacecraft, provided crucial acceleration data in the English system of inches, feet and pounds.


NASA, Haas, whoever. Sick of saying it.
