im reading newey's book. a few chapters in and here is what i have learned thus far: -his mom is (was?) attractive -he doesn't know how to use CAD and draws everything and makes other people turn them into CAD -he has a driver that picks him up so he can read his emails that are printed out for him on paper (it is not clear if he knows how to use a computer)

When I think about it most of the current drivers are at least not-unlikeable. Lots of Nice Young Lads on the grid.

newey's book is pretty funny because he'll do a whole chapter on a particular car design and then will have two sentences like "and then my wife had another child. we divorced later."

S1E6: Hamilton calling out teams that give seats to whoever has money and getting the appreciate bump from Esteben is  E: Not a Perez fan. E7: I"m watching with subtitles so I get to see stuff like (Man Groans) gently caress me! quite a bit, which is funny. Grosjean seems very sympathetic. Steiner: "Maybe I didn't invite him because he doesn't deserve any food"  I'm really torn on whether to keep reacting to things from a blissful ignorance or spend some time Googleing and catching up on everything that's happened in F1 since 2018.

acidx posted:Imagine if everyone had a red bull car, and also imagine if the red bull car was 7 seconds slower than it is now. The championship leader (who won the championship as a sophomore in 2021.) came from Super Formula lol, a series that he didn’t win. I don’t see anybody saying that about SF (because it’s not true, but also their cars are faster than Indycar’s) I love Indycar and CART but the inferiority complex is so strange.

Charles Leclerc posted:On the one hand he was always a binman, but on the other if you can't even get a job on Sky Sports F1 as an ex-F1 driver (reminder that Johnny Herbert was paid to be on there for years) then perhaps you shouldn't be throwing stones, idk Herbert tried to race in CART but all the teams told him to gently caress off after they heard his salary demands, and decided to hire Roberto Moreno for the same or better results at 15% of the cost.

The Canadian Grand Prix should be good. I want to see more people bin it into the walls like last year and take the walk of shame down the nature trail on the other side of the barriers. And then I'll watch for Minister Champagne hopping up and down like an energizer bunny at the trophy ceremony like he did last year.

Charles Leclerc posted:You can trace most of the teams on the grid back decades of former teams. I think I'm right in saying that the current Alpine entry dates back to Renault in the 80s with stints as Benetton and as Lotus F1 during that period. Aston Martin was originally Jordan before being sold to become Midland Racing, then Spyker F1, Force India and Racing Point. Mercedes Benz' slot has been run by Brawn, Honda, BAR and Tyrell going back to the 1970s. Red Bull's entry started out as Stewart/Ford and became Jaguar. Further to the others, BAR only bought Tyrrell's entry. They used none of the "team" which was mostly sold to Paul Stoddart, the Minardi F1 2 seater is actually a Tyrrell.

Zedd posted:Do what you prefer yourself but I like these little trip reports. I need very little encouragement. I finished season 1 last night. Stray thoughts: - Nico Hulkenburg has one of the most bad rear end names possible but seems like a dick. Watching ambivalent American school kids shred him was amazing. "How are you famous?" - Sainz seems pretty cool but perpetually has a look on his face as though someone asked if he remembered to turn the oven off and he's realized the answer is "no" - Bottas - managed to avoid the cameras with impressive skill, ditto for Vettel. - Perez - basic wanker with a rich benefactor - Leclerc - seems ok but jury still out - Alonso - seems to be over the hill and thinks too highly of himself but managed to find an entire team that also thinks too highly of him, so props to him. Yes, I know this is exactly what the editors setup highlighted but if the shoe fits.... - Ricciardo - seems like a moron but isn't as bad as - Verstappen - really dislikable, but I want to record a parody of Ain't No Half Steppin as Ain't No Verstappen, I just don't have anything beyond the title. Overall, I'd say I like the Haas team best but I feel like Grosjean is danger close to a full on mental breakdown. Non-Drivers - Williams lady seems super in over her head - Horner and Cyril couldn't have been scripted and cast better as French versus England stereotype rivals. - Zak Brown seems like a wealthier version of a business man that you get stuck sitting next to on an airplane who talks super loudly to his bluetooth earpiece until take off, then talks your ear off about boring business stuff the entire flight truly believes with every cell in his body that his is the best thing in the universe and everyone who is not rich like him is just lazy or dumber than him.

quote:It took seven races, but someone has finally started behind a Red Bull and beaten it to the chequered flag. Sergio Perez and George Russell shared the sixth row of the grid for Sunday’s Spanish Grand Prix. Russell got ahead of his rival at the start, made quicker work through the traffic ahead and beat him to the chequered flag by 3.423 seconds. always cheering for the underdog has its downsides. https://www.racefans.net/2023/06/06/russell-is-first-driver-to-start-behind-a-red-bull-and-beat-it-in-2023/

He'll drive any car as best as it can possibly be driven but there was no saving that shitbox McLaren. The Alpine was a bit better but now that he's got proper wheels he's fun.
