He's going to hustle up and structure a buyout of Williams with his new big business brains.

So what is your actual point then, genuinely?

It sounds like you should find new sports to watch.

This season has, in all metrics, been more fun to follow than the previous ones up to rosberg v ham

As much as I like to poo poo on Carlos he's right here. That move was never on for Piastri and they pretty easily could have collected Hamilton as well.

I saw Piastri ahead of Sainz and Sainz only getting ahead due to his front right tyre chucking out a load of smoke as he dived in. Piastri started on the right side of the grid and had the corner, but I'd look at an overhead view of the start to change my mind if I am remembering it wrong or the FOV of the onboard camera is giving the wrong impression.

Piastri was being a moron and I'm not sure what the gently caress he expected to happen there other than exactly what did happen

My hot take is that the Alpine’s chassis is probably pretty good, it’s engine is just off.

I remember 2010 as one of those seasons where the championship fight was good but the actual races weren't very good.

it's not clear what piastri's plan was; even if someone didn't squeeze him out at the apex it seems like his options after that were either understeer off the track or take an extremely slow exit and get passed by half a dozen cars

the most back-breaking stretch of a season was 2012 where it was decided by that string of races in Asia which were pretty much all Vettel romps. For some reason they were just on another level to the field in that stretch of races.

re: piastri/sainz, it's a total 50/50 racing incident. piastri had every right to go for that move, but it's one to avoid because of the likelihood of something like that happening. he'll learn from it i'm sure.

it just chafed me a bit with sainz being a little bitch afterwards for no reason and saying "yeah it was just a racing incident but also it's kind of piastris fault". i'm like dude you locked up and were just as much to blame.

'Fun' extremely summer break fact: that Japanese Alpine is also known as ALPS and they make tons of electronic parts including basically 80% of all analog sticks you find in game controllers.

What are you taking about? He hit the apex without locking up or understeer, he was going to make the corner just fine. The reason Sainz turned in so much is partially because he locked up and was preoccupied with not hitting the merc on the outside. The lockup is also the only reason Sainz was half a car ahead instead of side by side. I don’t think Piastri had enough time to react to Sainz’s lockup and back out even if he knew Sainz would close the door.

it was definitely a "racing incident" but i don't think you can just dive bomb the corner like that at the race start and expect to be just fine when 3-4 cars are about the turn across you
