Oh wait, you get -20 points for a race DNF in the fantasy league?

Gotta eject LeClerc pronto.

Well, that’s ruined my whole day.

E: Actually one bright point is that my main problem with Alonso is/was how he Did My Boy Felipe Dirty at Ferrari, with that out the way I’m basically all-in for the Krackheads

This seems the appropriate place for my question.

What kitchen knives should I get? I need some nice ones because my bad ones have started breaking.

My favorite knife I got from Sainsburys. I’m in the US now, and I have a base feeling that super-expensive knife sets are cargo-cult objects for weirdos - but also I’m in the US so everything is a scam and every product will break after 3 uses.

So I figure I just need to find a decently priced set of kitchen knives that are visibly one piece of steel from blade to handle.

It’s just so difficult finding the decent middle ground between ‘disposable scam’ and ‘culty weirdo fodder sold at a 1000% markup’ here.

I like how Yuki has said that he's been practicing his defensive driving by rewatching Alonso vs Hamilton at Hungary.

Before the season started I figured that Yuki would be one of the most likely drivers to get axed at the end of the year but if De Vries continues to suck then Yuki might be safe in his mediocrity.

I understand that DTS isn’t anything close to reality but from that show I’m really hoping Yuki outlasts De Vries.

I wish it was a little more watchable as a primary feed. Like if they had the timing tower graphic and the option for commentary, you could watch a whole race from your favorite driver and still know what was going on.

I guess most people who use it during a race have some kind of multi viewer?

Best thing about it is that you don’t get image thumbnails when selecting a video, so you don’t see the victor celebrating or the race-deciding crash they always use.

So I just started DTS S4 and I have a question that I’m sure is dumb. Why didn’t Mercedes use their car from last year rather than build a lovely new one?

Aren’t they (and I mean all teams really) rapidly approaching the point of refining the design to as good as it can really get?

Between 2021 and 2022 there were some pretty fundamental changes in the regulations that meant the cars needed to be rebuilt substantially. Stuff about aero design and the core concepts that keep the car on the road.

So while the car wouldn’t have changed a TON between say 2019 and 2020, their 2021 car would definitely have been illegal in 2022.

Put Yuki In A Red Bull

Ricciardo/Lawson Alpha Tauri, sure why not.

Honestly I think DeVries might be a perfectly good driver, that AT seems like utter garbage. But the RB machine doesn’t seem to do second chances

Kinda my point. He’s already a multi-millionaire, why would he go off and flame out earning millions for RBR when he can stay put and have a seemingly good time earning millions for Williams.

Then why even stay in F1 then? just go home and give the seat to somebody who gives a poo poo

Your argument seems to be that anyone willing to drive for Williams shouldn’t drive for Williams because they obviously don’t care about the sport.
