That makes sense, it’s an unbelievably useful quick fix.  Any Canadian who has seen Red Green knows this to be true.

Where’d they get the duct tape? Was there a kidnapper on board who happened to have some in their carry-on, or does the flight crew keep it on-hand to make critical repairs mid-flight?

I get why the rule exists and all that, but still, to get DQ’d on it like that is fucking Vettel over worse than Montreal in 2019.

Unrelated: Alonso v. Hamilton was fucking PORN.

I don’t think Bottas is at all done, he just seems to not enjoy that #2 role that Mercedes carved out for him. I think he’s kinda in the same place that Seb was at Ferrari when they so clearly started favouring Leclerc over him. Seb showed today he’s still got it. Hell, Alonso showed he still had it, defending…

I think Russell will be at Mercedes. His talents are wasted at Williams, and I kinda think Mercedes is done with Bottas as their #2. I don’t really see where else they could put Russell other than the main team.

I kinda hate that Seb gets punished so harshly what is more the team’s fault, but it is what it is and I can understand it too.

Seb got DQ’d.  Hamilton moves up to P2 because #Blessed.

You’re right. They were Russell’s first points of the season, but not his career, as he finished in the points that time he nearly won simply by sitting in a Mercedes.

Wonderful win for Ocon, heck of a drive for Seb too, and what a phenomenal job of Alonso holding off Hamilton just long enough to keep him from simply Mercedes-ing past all the lesser cars ahead of him.

Unloading a bunch of stuff on soon-to-be former friends (patio set) and selling a bunch more on Kijiji (electric lawnmower, baby gate, 100ft extension cord, etc). Whatever’s left over gets donated to charity, left on the curb before we go, or sent to the dump.

As someone in the process of downsizing the amount of stuff they own prior to moving 3,400 kilometres to the other side of the country, I’ve long expected that we’re going to wind up paying a fair bit to get it done.

“Why stop at his hands?” - MbS, probably

Maybe they provide some kind of advantage while swimming? Like having 5 little paddles on each hand to help propel you along in the water?

A 10-second penalty is an insurmountable penalty for pretty much anyone not driving a Mercedes or Red Bull. The Mercedes car may not be as dominant as previous years, but it is still far better than pretty much all the other cars on the grid aside from the Red Bulls.

My brother lives on the other side of the country and we text each other back and forth during the races, and the first thing he sent me Sunday morning was: “Did Max just get Albon’d?” followed by a guessing game between the two of us as to how light a penalty Lewis would get.

Chuck’s take sounds to me like he doesn’t want to be part of this discussion, but what’s Albon’s take on this incident? He knows full-well what it’s like to have one’s raced fucked over by Lewis on a corner.

I read Chuck’s input more as a “please leave me out of this” kind of take. 

Good to know God is as good a driver as Tesla’s autopilot...

A 10-second penalty to a Mercedes is about as meaningful as a 2-minute penalty on a Haas.
