I am excited to watch another season of fast car races very early in the morning and root for the honest and good mclaren lads. I hope you will all understand that I enjoy watching fast car races and am not bitter and jaded.

Semi serious question. Since he is on the shorter and lighter side of things, does that affect the weight and balance of the car and possibly turning ability?

Do they add weight to the car to account for this?

IIRC, there's a minimum weight to the cars and if the car plus driver is under that weight, you have to add ballast to it to make min weight? But I believe there's flexibility around where the ballast is located, so you have some choice in how the car is balanced.

I might be wrong, but I believe that's how it works.

New to F1 question: why do the drivers sit in the car while their teams push the car out into the grid, just to get out and walk back to the paddock?

Off the top of my head, is it because that way you can have somebody steering the car while you push it and the weight of the driver doesn't make a huge difference when you're pushing it?

Do the Ferrari drivers get a free Ferrari?

The absolute best scene, bar none, from any Drive To Survive season, is the one where Carlos Sainz and his professional friend went to a Tesco to get ingredients for tacos or whatever, the tesco staff has absolutely no idea what the gently caress they're talking about, and then they walk out with a bag of groceries only to realize that the mclaren they drove to the store doesn't have a trunk and so the friend has to hold the groceries in his lap as they go home.

I think the decision to pit was whatever, it could have gone either way, but Ferrari calling Sainz on the radio while Sainz is in the middle of trying to pass Checo makes the whole thing pretty farcical.

Golf is a very problematic sport but also an extremely relaxing way to spend a morning walking around with a buddy, so maybe golf is a land of contrasts

Turn golf courses into public parks, then turn all the f1 tracks into golf courses.

Heck, why wait for Lewis to retire? I think Mercedes should have George Russell take a break for a year and have one season where Alonso and Lewis are driving on the same team - can you imagine the sheer power of two world champions in such an incredible car, driving and working together?

Mercedes would be unstoppable!

I desperately need to know which drinking glass Leclerc broke as a child, causing a witch to curse him so that he will achieve his greatest dream and it will destroy him, piece by piece, bit by bit, until he is nothing but a hollow shell of despair and disappointment.

It can be hard! You might think, for example, that Daniel Ricciardo is a bad driver but actually he is a good driver, and real, and strong, and my friend, and his car sucks rear end.
