    At such events, Pitt and Idris have gotten behind the wheel of a pair of Formula 2 cars that have been modified to look more like F1 machinery

    Is it just me, or did they just badly photoshop in the displays on those screens in the interior shot?

    Red Bull is the most visible example, but let’s not pretend that the rest of the grid isn’t doing the same or similar. Look at what McLaren did to Kevin Magnussen or what Mercedes kept doing to Valtteri Bottas or what Alpine tried to do with Piastri and Alonso. Red Bull just happens to be the most visible since they

    I mean, we’ve been counting grand slam statistics for years now, at the very least, ever since the fastest lap got awarded a point.

    It almost looked like a scene from an old Top Gear segment. Just hay flying everywhere.

    I have to wonder how light an attack can possibly be, if it’s coming from a fucking airplane.

    Maybe if people could actually use Threads from places other than their phones people would be using it more.

    Looking at the standings for that season is wild. Minardi actually didn’t do that bad considering all the teams below them who never ever even got out of pre-qualifying into qualifying proper.

    I’d say it’s more about how noticeably upright the vehicle feels. With a lot of these crossovers, even if you lower them to the ground, they feel like they still have a taller, more upright stance and seating position than a sedan or hatchback. That said, there are more than a few models that are basically hatchbacks

    Geez, now I have to make sure to wipe down the stick shifter if I ever buy a new Hyundai.

    It’s “Lukashenko” not “Loukachenko.”

    Who knew that dealers marking these up to the high heavens would eventually turn customers away.

    Helmut Marko himself said that Danny Ric’s lap times were “competitive on three different tire sets” during the test, so they definitely did see something they liked.

    Still find it funny (and strangely fitting) that Hera, who was romantically involved with a Jedi who’s death was a major plot point in the development of the lead Force sensitive character, is played by an actress who’s husband played a Jedi who’s death was a major plot point in the development of the lead Force

    So Lars Mikkelsen headlined Musk biopic when?

    Which is basically a better-looking Mustang.

    Because Red Bull/AT were expecting Nyck’s experience to shine through. He even said early in the season that he “wasn’t a regular rookie.” Yet at the same time, he’s driving like a rookie while Red Bull have other drivers in the wings (if Ricciardo didn’t take the AT seat, Liam Lawson would have likely been promoted).

    Danny Ric’s fastest lap was a 1:27.415, 0.7s off Max’s pole lap, but on harder tyres supposedly designed not to need tyre blankets.

    As much as Nyck’s performance at Monza last year was a fairytale story that got him a drive, there’s a reason he didn’t get into F1 immediately after sewing up the F2 championship. He did the latter only on his third year (compare with drivers like Russel, LeClerc and Hamilton who did so on their first year) against
