What the hell do you cut tungsten with lol.

Anxiety, mainly

Serious answer - just good quality carbides, we didn't end up getting special tooling in as we don't machine tungsten very much. It demolishes tools as its super abrasive, hopefully we won't be doing much of it in the future! They usually get wire eroded but we needed them quickly so had to chuck them on a cnc.

E: apologies for cluttering the thread up with machining talk, hope it's ok

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 wonder if the practice of putting the picture of your top rival on your desk only makes people want to switch teams and work with said person.

Sounds like a party. Don't worry, this is the worst thread. It spends pages talking about bad reality shows and air fryers. It has nowhere to go but up.

I think its better if Lance doesn't Get In There.
It's insane to think that he'd even try less than a week removed from a surgery.

I like to imagine that Stroll Sr. is enough of a Motorsports Fan that he would allow Lance to get demolished by racing legend Fernando Alonso. El Plan is still in effect.

They'll be so far apart on the grid they'll never have to worry about the two of them fighting for position against one another.

The Aston is legit quick, it just blew the FP3 time off with ease on an outlap+1 and with traffic.

e: I feel bad for Seb because he undoubtedly had more input into developing this car than Lance ever did, and now has to watch this chud be poo poo in what is obviously a good car.
