You idiots just bought Kimoa sunglasses. But good headphones, that's just to far!

I guess my point is that headphones aren't holistically "good" just because they sound good.

I plugged my headphones into my work laptop one day and it completely fried the hard drive and I got two days off of work free. Still use them to this day.

Zak Brown apparently went straight to Reuters to confirm Honda will not deliver the upgraded engine to Canada with no timeline on when it will come and basically said McLaren is going to decide whether to go with a customer engine in the next 90 days, saying under the current performance the money Honda is giving isn't enough to offset lost sponsors and FOM money. May as well rename Sauber to Spirit.

The real Cosworth is now MAHLE Powertrains fyi. The same one that Ferrari licenses all their ICE tech from ironically.

Cosworth has an IndyCar engine that's ready and waiting for someone to badge. They also at least designed an F1 engine back in 2014.

It is more than a bit odd that this report comes out so soon after he claimed Mercedes was returning to being an engine supplier.

McLaren-Mercedes is about as good as Alonso could realistically hope for in 2018, to be honest.

I kinda wonder if they've tried approaching Porsche. They've got a very competitive battery based hybrid turbocharged V engine in their LMP1 and if they could lisence the TJI and compression poo poo from MAHLE they wouldn't be that far off.

VAG isn't interested in F1 at the moment even if Porsche might be.

Man, what an intense couple of days. The piss tape is real, the Middle East is about to explode and McLaren may very well somehow pull off a mid-season engine supplier change out of desperation to score even a point.

I agree with this but VAG are shrewd opportunists when it comes to Motorsport and actively monitor F1. If they had an engine better than anybody else they'd enter.

Everything about that interview makes sense (and I'm sure that Honda is just loving all the slagging off they're getting), but this turn of phrase is really bothering me: "A year in Formula One is an eternity. Three years is a decade."

Comeys prepared statement was posted by the senate intelligence committee and the piss tape is brought up pretty early on.

Also this is the F1 thread so let's keep it on topic. Do you guys think Max Mosley ever rented a hotel room used by Balestre and hired a bunch of hookers to piss on the bed while Max just looked on at a pocket watch of his Nazi dad and wondering if he would be proud of him before loving off to a Nazi orgy?

I'd like to think so.
