Apparently the Stig (Ben Collins, at the time) did not drive the Renault F1 car around the track. Collins recently revealed that although he very much wanted to drive the car, it was Heikki Kovalainen who actually completed the lap, dressed up like the Stig.

Why do you think investors would be concerned about layoffs? Investors generally only care about the bottom line—i.e. profits. “Exessive” headcount is a drag on the bottom line. Generally speaking, layoffs often translate to a stock price bump. CEOs who feel under pressure may even resort to unnecessary or unwise…

This is pet peeve of mine, but for god’s sake, “weary” means to be tired or worn out. “Wary” means feeling or showing caution or concern. As a professional writer, one should know the difference.

So sick of this take. This is what F1 is like, and if you’re at all interested in the sport beyond who’s in first, this has been a very exciting season. 2021 was an aberration, not the norm.

They’re both hideous.

Wow, this is some lazy writing. It takes literally five seconds on Google to figure out that Deus is more than just “a coffee shop on Venice Boulevard”. They started out in Australia, building custom motorcycles (and surfboards), and became incredibly popular, expanding to other locations around the world (incl. Bali,…

Wouldn’t it just be fantastic if Honda were to actually get their shit together and build a better engine than Renault next year? And then we’d get to watch McLaren—with a fresh contract with Renault—fuming while Torro Rosso beats them in the championship?

Yeah, third place with a biiiig gap to second, and they’ve repeatedly commented that the reason for that gap is a lack of horsepower. And let’s not forget that they tried to switch engine suppliers a while back, but had to go back to Renault, (except they crossed out the Renault badge and wrote “Tag Heuer” on it…
