Smartmouth is ok but I wouldn’t get too excited over their experimental beers.

Oh....well then. 

Still not sure what you think is contradictory. The executive in 2016 said they had a target of 6 figure EV production by 2020 (100,000 was used by the author of the article as the lowest 6-figure number). He also said they will eventually have all models running an electric version, but this is unrelated to 2020. In…

the second says only 1/4 of the Mercedes line up will have an electric model by 2025

Arkane Aleworks has a great all around selection, Cycle Brewing for the stout bottles, and if you can make it a bit further north Escape Brewing has some solid IPAs.

Those aren’t contradictory statements so not sure what you’re trying to say. The first states all car models will have an electric version and they will be selling 100,000 EVs each year. The second says 25% of their sales will be electric by the year 2025.

In some ways it might even be better without those two.

And a greater share of the $.

They wanted more money. Red Bull, this time at least, understood it was better for the sport to participate.

So how did Kepa fair after demanding he remain in the most crucial moment of the game? He failed to save four out of five penalties

Some say Alfa might be the best of the midfield...it certainly looks up for a challenge. RBR finishing in the top 3 is dependent upon that Honda engine lasting more than 2 races. Everyone seems to forget that in testing last year everyone was convinced Honda’s reliability woes were at an end since it didn’t have any…

Er, no. These are standard roles for F1 teams. You could argue McLaren’s downfall started when he stuck himself into the muck in the firing Martin Whitmarsh by not only replacing him as CEO but firing him as team principal as well. Eric Boullier was then given a seemingly very power limited role as racing director and…

Part of the problem was also that they stopped developing last year’s car around the halfway mark. While they seem to have addressed some of their handling issues from last year, there’s still much left to do. Curious to see how much James Key works on this year’s car and how soon they just dump everything into next…

They’ve hired James Key as technical director, his start date is after the first race. They’ve hired Andreas Siedl (former Porsche LMP1 boss) as their managing director and he’ll start from the Spanish GP forward. These are pretty massive and critical signings which should get them on track.

They’re looking to expand viewership, in the States in particular, so you’re not going to get a very nuanced technical discussion that’s interesting to only a few of us. 

Well the most critical moments last year were largely related to on-track mayhem so what else would you expect? With the addition of the halo, accidents were always going to be a focal point but don’t forget, on-track chaos handed Hamilton an early title and also drove Ricciardo from Red Bull.

San Diego is hardly the 3rd biggest city in the USA. Actually around 8th. Well over 1 million short of Chicago. 

I don’t know that it’s ever been proven it improves times to any degree. I think it’s just an aesthetic preference. The media assumed RBR would only do it to save time but it just looks better on their car. They always denied it had any impact on performance. If it truly had any impact, everyone would be running a…

They’re not even test liveries. They’re one-off unveiling liveries. Everyone ran their standard design at the first day of testing today...well everyone except Williams who might not run until Wednesday at the earliest.

Ferrari are also running a matte paint job this year...could be a couple others switching as well.
