ignoring peoples texts when they buzz your wrists now with the haptic feedback is a clutch power move. either that or it's incredibly pathetic

Thanks Ants posted:I quite like the Withings watches, if I wore a watch I would probably try one of those. I'm not interested in having to put a watch on charge every day or having it ring when someone calls me. i turned notification sounds and vibrations off the first time i was getting called while at work and my hands weren't free. moving a bunch of heavy equipment with other people and the whole time my watch is in my face ringing and buzzing it was annoying as gently caress lol

this was my first year following F1 and a common complaint I heard is "Well it's the car that makes RB win, it's built for Max you know" I dont understand it tbh isnt the entire point to build a car for Max? I guess I'm confused as to why "it's the car" invalidates the wins for some people when the entire point of the sport is to build a car. I feel like im fundamentally misunderstanding something.

Kvlt! posted:this was my first year following F1 and a common complaint I heard is "Well it's the car that makes RB win, it's built for Max you know" Max is one of those drivers that likes an incredibly unstable car because it means he can go faster. Nando and the late Ayrton loved an unstable car as well. Because the car is unstable, it’s incredibly hard to drive. So drivers who like a neutral car like Checo, I assume, and Jenson who historically preferred a neutral car can’t drive an unstable car to its full potential. Now why Ricciardo couldn’t drive a McLaren to its full potential, but he could a Red Bull tells me he wasn’t able to adapt to non-Neweymobiles.

That makes sense, but I'm confused about why that upsets people, or why it's viewed as unfair or unsportmanlike. My understanding is "Max's car is faster but harder to control, but he has the skill to control it". Are the other teams just salty he's able to control a car? Or is there a rule or something RB is bypassing to get the car like that? I'm genuinely just baffled why the whole "it's the car" argument is a thing in a league about building and racing cars. It feels kinda like somebody saying "well ya kno, Gretzky is only so good because he can really control the stick well". Like....yes? Isn't that the idea?

At the very least 19 race wins the way red bull managed it with Max with such spectacular leads and gaps. A 19-race win by hero of our time Magic Alonso would be the best thing to happen on this earth

As is tradition, I am continuing to watch the olden seasons of yesteryear and am currently on 2009 with Brawn doing a solid thrashing of everyone with their cheat codes Other things this season has enlightened me to (currently on European gp): - Jenson Button is a good lad who means well and is the easiest 'bloke' to listen to during pressers - Toyota lol, Ferrari lol - A younger Horner is still a Horner - Brawn Fuckin GP - Brundle was always awful and bad - Very weird to see a Red Bull with a Renault engine

Kvlt! posted:That makes sense, but I'm confused about why that upsets people, or why it's viewed as unfair or unsportmanlike. My understanding is "Max's car is faster but harder to control, but he has the skill to control it". It doesn't upset anyone and they're not viewing it as unfair. They're using it as justification for suggesting he's not as good as his results would suggest, i.e. he's an above average driver who is only overwhelmingly successful because anyone would be if they had all of Red Bull's resources singularly focused behind them. The same argument was made against Vettel. It's the natural result of Red Bull consistently having a clear #1 driver. Hamilton didn't get the same criticism to the same extent because Mercedes fosters more competition between their drivers. It doesn't help that Red Bull's drivers tend to be Red Bull lifers so it's hard to judge them outside of that context. Lewis had a career before his period of Mercedes dominance that proved he's a world class driver regardless; Max didn't. It's all kind of silly because it rests on the assumption that the standard practice is to design the car completely without input from the drivers, which isn't how any of this works. Teams are always going to try to give their drivers what they're asking for. Max prefers an unstable car, which probably has a higher ceiling, so if Checo wants something different then they're probably going to err toward the former. Brawn's car suited Button's driving style in the early part of the season way more than Barrichello, that's a huge part of why he won the title, no one ever gave a poo poo about that though (probably because Button is one million times cooler than Verstappen).

People were saying the same poo poo about Vettel at Red Bull. You could be right or wrong but the cars overwhelmingly flatter in F1 so its hard to vouch for his performance off the back of such a stupidly dominate car with a poo poo team mate.

I wouldn't rule out the possibility of Max going to Ferrari and being outed as a bald fraud, but he is embarrassing teammates who are orders of magnitude more talented than Mark Webber

RB has spend all the Merc dominated years working on the non-car advantages they could. Strategy, pitstops, star driver. Their main issue was the engine during the Renault drama, it took a throwing their second team at it but Honda delivered a great engine. Put a great driver into a great car and you get this domination. Max isn't my favorite but the man is a racing machine, his hobby is sim racing.
