Yup...

Everything about this issue is about the creation of a legacy. The person behind all this is the President of the FIA a French guy named Jean Todt, who is impossibly stupid. Let me qualify that, he is not actual stupid, he is willfully ignorant, which is stupid. Todt comes from the grease monkey world of auto racing…

Yes. Smooth curves. Ferrari is feminine Lamborghini is masculine.

Anything that can be done to stop all the talk about tires is a good thing. Each race is overtaken by and endless conversation about tires and all the permutations to consider regarding an affect on tires, weather, track surface etc. This has been going on for years. There once was a time when you almost never heard…

Alonso was never that good a qualifier, WRC is kind of qualy laps every stage, so, makes sense.

I wish they went more in the direction of expressing power with respect to the shape of the car. This is a more streamlined feminine look vs a muscular masculine look. I understand why they chose this, its just, aesthetically, could be better…
I think it’s worth keeping in mind that once the aero teams get their teeth…

This is the first review of a 360 camera that understands the concept of a 360 camera. I think most people imagine seeing 360 degrees at the same time, it’s 180 degrees, you must choose what you want to see. With such a wide view you need to focus on something, the 180 degree view gets boring after a while. What 360…

As far as looks, basically Richard Hammond at 87.
If he could see out of his right eye I think he would have a little less of a sneer.

As I understand it, there are two parts to the Hubble discovery, the first is the universe is expanding, and the second is the expansion is accelerating. I think the accelerating part was discovered more recently. It is my impression that some felt that there was a chance that despite expansion gravity would overwhelm…

Just thought I would mention that both Ocon and Bottas were managed by Toto Wolff, so this is a tell regarding his ability to pick talent. To some the measure of legitimacy as an F1 player is your ability to pick drivers, Wolff picked well but no Hamilton or Vettel in sight. Average good is just average.
It is also…

For Ferrari we are living in the perfect world, they just can’t figure out how to win in it. Right now, no spending restrictions and no standardized parts apart from wheel size. The racing sucks, it has sucked for years. Several teams have left and several teams have gone broke, because of that fucking shit engine. The…

Thanks for expanding my knowledge and the great link!

Thanks for expanding my knowledge!

The answer to everything in F1 is money. A race in Saudi Arabia might be the question, so the answer is…
The Saudi owned oil company is called ARAMCO, it’s a private company with oil sales thought to be about $100 billion per year, but that is about to change. The Saudi folks want to do an IPO for ARAMCO so they can…

Years ago I worked at a TV network, at some point they were doing a special about space, they built a set in the studio and put all kinds of props inside which were all real. One of those props was an Apollo spacesuit that went to the moon, or so it seemed. I worked the overnight and had access to all the places, so…

The population of the USA is much larger now then when all this legislation was passed and signed into law. The Welfare rolls have grown massively over the last 50 years. Welfare covers a vast range of options which keep growing, George W. Bush created Medicaid Part D just a few years ago, it is vastly over budget…

It’s obvious that Mercedes has dialed their car into a certain grip level with dry tires while anything outside that range will fail. Lewis is well known for his wet track skills, but yesterday was impossible, because Mercedes is living on a pin head of drivability outside a range of heat and grip. They made a mistake…

It’s so fake. Bad acting.

I have read it perhaps 20 times, in newspapers and other places. I have also see it maybe 10 times on national TV networks. I detest conspiracy theories so I am never found down those rat holes.

Something else is going on. In F1 if someone seems to be offering a helping hand to someone on a different team, that’s probably not what’s happening.
The truth is it’s all about Mercedes. The German company wants that German driver to drive for them. They missed Michael Schumacher at his prime and they think Vettel…
