remember when I said alonso was terrible at developing the car at the beginning of the year and that his podiums were gonna be as good as it gets and people told me that can't be true. lol. lmao.

You throw enough dumb bullshit at the wall that eventually something is going to stick just out of coincidence. Doesn’t mean you have any actual insight.

So...why does everyone hate Russell?

I get that he seemed like a dick when he rammed Bottas but he seemed pretty genuine when he got his first podium. I'll admit, him running to check on Zhou seemed kind of performative.

He's a bit too whiny (which is saying something in F1) and was a bit overhyped. People were expecting him to challenge Lewis which I think is quite the brain damaged take

Really enjoyed that race, good to see the mclarens up there!

I think we were kinda expecting things to slow down a bit mid season at Aston, we've just moved into a new building and it's been a bit crazy there for a few weeks. We could have moved during the shutdown in August, but I think the higher ups wanted us to be in there before Silverstone.

It was very weird last week, the building has a kind of central main street running all the way through it. This became a kind of dining area and guest showroom, meaning people were eating while we were working like 10 feet away behind soundproof glass. Very strange working environment.

Fingers crossed we can turn things around a bit for the next few races! I'm expecting us to come in 4th in the constructors, which is a nice improvement over last year and I think most of us will be happy with it.

So while I wouldn't really call it a slump (AM hasn't binned it nearly as badly as Checo lately) do you think that the busy move to the new building has had an effect on car development?

George has suffered a bit due to Sky spending the entire back half of the 2021 season asking Toto when he was booting out Bottas and getting George in the seat, when there was an actual championship fight occurring that they could have focused on

It's definitely had an effect, although it's hard to quantify. Some parts of the building are still being put together, I think R and D especially is only now becoming usable.

He just sounds incredibly bored, which contrasts heavily with Horner's practiced voice of history enthusiasm because he expects these milestone races to have their end of race radio to be replayed forever even though no-one in a year will care about RBR winning 11 races in a row.

Watching the DTS episode about Piastri switching teams after this race this weekend was divine. A smug Otmar acting like he somehow ended up owning Maclaren by giving them Piastri while he got Gasly is :discourse: And I say that as someone who likes Gasly.

I stick to the conspiracy theory that Alonso reached out to his buddy Webber to coordinate the double gently caress-you to Otmar losing both himself and Piastri. Seb announces he's retiring and Nando chooses to gently caress the entire grid for fun.

He already is, just only he doesn't know it for sure yet. I don't think there's any realistic scenario he's still driving that car after the break. RB leadership absolutely have the switch to Lawson in motion.
