wuffles posted:Not sure if you were just wanting to see Taylor Swift or what, but if you (or anyone here, really) don't end up with race tickets this year and there's a show you want to see at the end I'll give you my ticket(s) for free after we leave the track on Sunday. I guess that would also apply for any of the events after the F1 stuff on the other days too. We have 2 small kids and/or dinner plans so we don't stay long after the main events for each day. Feels like a bit of a waste so I'd be happy to let someone take advantage. Definitely wanted to actually see her perform. Thanks for the offer, if I end up traveling down for the US GP I'll shoot you a note.

wicka posted:From a certain perspective you could say they are unintentionally sandbagging. Honda sincerely believes they have made major performance improvements but haven't come remotely close to stretching their legs. I do genuinely think they are playing up the sad sack "we are in a really poo poo spot" card a lot more than they probably need to and are in a better spot than it appears on the surface. Time will tell once they get the motor to stop rattling itself to death.

wicka posted:It's pretty clear that McLaren have told their drivers and staff to let loose on Honda publicly if they feel so inclined. Alonso pretty much said nothing the last two years except for the occasional in-car outburst, but this year he has repeatedly and strongly criticized them, with no defense or mitigation coming from Boullier et al. So if they are playing up their issues, they're doing a drat fine job of it. Hell, at this point in the game if I were running McLaren I'd tell everyone on to publicly poo poo on Honda too. If Japanese culture is anything to go off of, the public shame ought to make them get their poo poo together. wicka posted:Horseshit. Let's hear it bro. Right?! I'm 100% down for some chassis dynamics, I love tech poo poo like that.

My GP Predictor predictions are pretty bold with Are Nando on Pole and Podium, backed up with Their Strudel taking the second podium step. Get at me, fellas.
