Well guess what came today? They took so long I forgot about them



These are actually pretty awesome. Great design and sturdier than my Aviators and Oakley's, I highly recommend them because they look great. Also didnt have to pay a $50 customs bill.

Dear diary, today I
became a captain.

I bought this wonderful book on F1 in Japan, which explains a lot of the sport in plain Japanese and high- end graphics.

Some highlights:


This years racers, and where they live. Well, where they're from.



History


sadness


everything you always wanted to know about aero, but were afraid to ask.


How to behave in the presence of an Australian.


2017 engines explained (also pictured in top right corner: Honda engineer).


Culture!


errr...


ok.

I'm glad they took the time to explain the significance of Mr. Bean in Formula One. It is something the hacks at Sky F1 repeatedly forget to explain to new viewers.

I kinda want this aa an avatar

Speaking of books I forwarded some Kimi 'I know what I'm doing' swag to a now-ex-worst-thread poster (who was a regular at the time but now no longer posts in this thread) and I included the Haynes F1 book just to be nice and the sod never said thank you :smith:

I like how the title is "Claire says stop saying Lance sucks!" and then the article just lists every different way he sucks

Also I assume motorsport.com is British? Because they went out of their way to throw a stat chart in there that makes Lewis look like the second coming

The chart is showing how the top-ish half of the current field did in their first few races, ie the topic of their article. Some of you guys take the Hamilton hate into weirdo territory.

Zak Brown runs it actually. He's the chairman and responsible for turning it from some photos repository into now the largest and best Motorsport journalist site.

Cashing a huge pay cheque which immediately gets spent fixing all the damage Stroll does.

They started getting really good even before he came on board, though. They kinda just came out of nowhere and started hiring all of Autosport's best writers.

Well, he's certainly coming second.

Thank you, thank you very much.
