One time a chihuahua bit me and latched on while I was carrying some boxes, and I didn't even feel it; I only noticed because of the increased drag on my right leg. That's what Tony was like, a harmless little chihuahua yipping his heart out but unable to do any real damage. I vote we free Tony for a bit; the start of the season is a perfect time for the mentally unhinged.

lmao at mercedes being slower than their own customer team, but I guess that's what happens when all your top staff quit.

The only proper way forward now is for Hamilton to talk to Strolls senior and switch places with Lance for a season. The proper end to their careers is Alonso/Lewis on the same team in a decent car.

I can say, because I work there! The new facility should be ready for around June i think. I'm only a lowly cnc programmer so the car being good won't have much to do with me.

As for the car itself, we're hoping for some improvements over last year but keeping our expectations in check. The higher ups do seem quite happy with it so fingers crossed we do a bit better than last year!

According to Helmut Marko, they are investigating Max Verstappen's car for strange behavior. Both he and Checo had the same setup, but in slow corners according to them you can tell the difference. "The car doesn't behave like it did in pre-season."

Jos Verstappen: *Give that car to Checo * 😠

The pay isn't too bad! And it's been a lovely place to work, there's a distinct lack of night shift machinists and programmers so they value retention. Like my mum was super sick a month after I started, and they wangled it to give me a lot of time off, which I really appreciated.

That's too bad. Mostly titanium or do you get some oddball materials? I toyed with the idea of moving and trying to get a job with Haas, but I hate Haas machines and I'd probably have to take a paycut. It would be fun to watch a race and see something fail, and then start questioning if I hosed up though.

I make a lot of stuff for wind tunnel testing so mostly aluminium, most of the car parts are Titanium though. Oh yeah I did have to switch from mostly mazaks over to a few machines with Heidenhain controls, and I loving despise them. People who've used them for years seem to like them but I think they're shite.

E: I did make some bits from tungsten last week, think they were ballast for one of the wings. Not much fun to machine, that stuff

Yeah I'm a Mazak guy. I think McLaren has a partnership with them so they probably have some Mazaks there. What the hell do you cut tungsten with lol.
