TUE is almost always bullshit. If you add up all the TUEs for their various ailments, the athletes would seemingly be tens and hundreds of times above the worldwide average for these illnesses. Believe it was cycling that did a quick study on asthma once and found their cyclists were astronomically above what should…

Didn’t mean to imply the translation was necessarily off, though I can see how that came off. Just clarifying I read the original article and not the Fox interpretation. Wanted to go back and put my first line in parens but it was too late...

Smells like...tommy john.

Of course, Barca could have just submitted their appeal before TAD adjourned for the weekend on Friday afternoon and maybe they would have had a decision in time...but since that was exactly what they didn’t want, they decided to play games and waited until they stopped for the weekend to submit their appeal.

I’ve read the original Spanish article and don’t rely upon Fox Sports to translate.

Sessions “is not able to comment” on whether or not the decision to issue an arrest warrant for WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange could open other news organizations to prosecution.

Probably factors in his prison sentence. More than likely he’s expecting a light sentence for colluding with a foreign power or something...or maybe even a pardon from whichever shit stain the Presidency falls to, depending how deep the traitors that sold us out to the Russians go.

Yes but to what alternative? No matter what engine they could even switch to, they’d be 3rd or 4th in line. Their only alternative, should they eventually drop Honda, is to have a placeholder customer engine until the revised regs are agreed upon and either hope a new manufacturer will take them on as their works…

He’s done it at Suzuka. “GP2 engine! GP2 engine!” was in Japan. Very calculated.

Zak Brown seemed to suggest they were complaining about things on the pit wall as well but they only aired Alonso’s classics. But no need to send them his radio clips, he’s told Honda personally. From the BBC after Saturday’s McLaren presser

Now’s the time for some evil genius at Toyota to show up in Woking with a legit PU that’ll not only give McLaren a viable solution but completely upstage their Japanese counterparts. One can dream...

I’m of the opinion they should approach Ferrari to run an Alfa badged engine. Run an Alfa badged PU until the new regs come out and see if there’s another manufacturer out there to take you on as their works team.

How is it no longer Dennis’ fault after this year? Because of him they’re locked into Honda for years to come. Because of him, Honda was prevented from even discussing providing engines to other teams, which alone has left them at a major disadvantage. Can’t help but think their problems would be that much easier to…

No. The new regs allow for teams to run t-wings for some minor aero effect. The t-wing on Bottas’ Merc has snapped off at least twice over the past two races and, as a result, there has been some increased discussion to ban them for both safety and aesthetic reason.

McLaren will be *completely* useless in Monaco... (Even more so than most weekends.)

First of all, the very gas in discussion, Sarin, was developed by the fucking Nazis. Secondly, the implication is even Hitler wouldn’t sink so low as to gas women and children...which he did, by the millions. Come on, man.

You have decades of F1 races? What’s your point? I have every race from 1978 to present and about 75% through 1950 (though admittedly, due to the limitations of available content, much pre-1970s is limited to 10-20min of summaries). Anything I’m missing is because it simply isn’t available.

Disagree completely. Would rather re-watch 2009-2016 than the Schumacher boredom (and I have watched and re-watched the Schumacher Ferrari years, every race believe it or not, to answer your insult that I’m a parrot that hasn’t watched races I’m commenting on). Like most every F1 fan, you seem to view the past eras…

You did compare them. You said 2009-2016 was the worst period in F1 history. That’s a comparison against every single previous period of F1. Get a grip, man.

Really? Worse than Schumacher winning snoozefests for 5 straight years? Ok. A period of 8 years where 4 of the 8 WDC championships came down to the last race of the season is the worst ever...got it.
