Gasly isn�t terrible terrible, but he couldn�t deal with the Red Bull. Albon himself said the Red Bull was a handful compared to the Toro Rosso.

It�s a mentality thing. They/KTM treat their riders the exact same way in MotoGP.

So, an Austrian thing.

Gasly sucks and was bad at Red Bull because he collapsed under the pressure of a bigger team. Albon did perfectly fine ergo your brain is broken.

Would you perhaps call him a "Bin Man"?

Carlos' post-penalty podium party at Brazil :kimchi:

I'll say now that I'm watching for the midfield this year. I already know Mercedes will win on account of their fancy steering tech that they get to play with for this year only, I'm more interested in seeing who can scrape to 3rd-5th.

Next year's leveled playing field will be glorious, and that's not even counting the clusterfuck of driver swaps due to contracts finishing :getin:

Mercedes will just continue to dominate. Don't give yourself high hopes.

Yep, I agree with this. The past years I've watched to see who wins and that's gotten too boring. Watching to see who can podium, hopefully McLaren or maybe even Danny Ric will be worth watching. Assuming there will be any races this year.

Next gen should be announced soon unless you really, really want VR now. Current VR headsets are good enough, but I could stand for better pixel density.

Euro Truck Simulator 2 is a $19.99 simulation game for PC that supports VR for the HTC Vive and the Oculus Rift HMDs. ETS2 is not listed as a VR game on Steam, you have to active VR through the beta menu and select a beta release that supports HTC Vive and Oculus Rift VR.

Time to up your game track day bro! You should already own one if you were serious about playing ETS!

Ferrari admits they are prepared to take a back seat in competing seriously in this year's F1 after finding themselves way behind long-time rivals Mercedes testing last month.

The Scuderia, who failed to claim a single championship last decade, admitted they're ready to focus their sights and efforts on producing a stellar, competitive vehicle for the 2021 season.

It comes after Mercedes flexed their muscles in the preseason in their campaign to register a seventh drivers championship for Lewis Hamilton and seventh constructor's championship in a row.

"How much will the 2020 catch-up affect the 2021 (project)? � that's certainly a good point," Ferrari team principal Mattia Binotto said at the close of pre-season testing.

"I think it's a compromise that we need to find out. I think we are very early in the season, and you cannot compromise the entire season itself.

"So at the start of the season, we certainly keep pushing on 2020 as much as we can, because it's time for us to understand the car and the weaknesses. And hopefully, it is things that we can address as soon as possible.

"(But) if I see after a few races, and we will still understand that the gap is too big, then maybe it's a considerations that we can take into account."

The news is shattering to star pair Sebastian Vettel (a four-time champion) and youngster Charles Leclerc, who burst into the big league last year with two wins and also taking out the most pole positions.

That's interesting if true.

I would like to see McLaren be successful again so this is only good news to me.

e: I'd be lying if I said I wasn't hoping DAS will cause something to fail spectacularly under race conditions.

Having to kick a driver mid season smacks of terrible decision making and they don't have the talent pool to dip into if Albon isn't able to keep up this season.

Tagdoodle: Dec 11, 2019; there was a youtube compilation of funny Vettel moments and I can't possibly imagine any other driver having a similar video made

With the major car change in 2021 if the F1 season is significantly reduced because of the Coronavirius, I wouldnt be surprised if many teams take the "gently caress it, focus on 2021" mentality.
