I just want to echo their statement. I honestly clicked your profile looking to read some of your blog posts thinking I’d just missed your name next to the heading. Thumbs up!

I think the author’s just uninformed.
I’m in my 20's and love the 1st gen Neons. I also remember the 300M/Concorde being pretty impressive in period.
Also, 240 hp for a 2800# car was really solid in the late 90's. The Mustang GT was only around 260 hp and weighed more IIRC, even the Cobra was only rated for 320ish…
The Ducati is a friendlier bike from the Honda from the looks of it, also Miller and Dovi are definitely a cut above Honda’s current guys. I think the improvements from Suzuki and Yamaha show the benefits they got from the tire.
It sucks Marc is out (he and Lewis are my favorite athletes ever) but this season has been wicked. I was worried Fabio was going to run away with everything and so far I’ve been extremely happy for that to not be the case.
It has hurt the Ducatis too. Petrucci and Dovi didn’t suddenly forget how to ride.
I’ll say Santino is a racist scumbag and leave it at that.
Don’t forget about the tweaks to the rear Michelin. That has absolutely caught Honda out.
Not every team/rider had fresh new tires left.
Marc is THE greatest of his generation. He’s easily one of the greatest of all time.
I suspect there wasn’t much thinking going on.
The entire area is remote.
A rural highway outside of Shawano Wisconsin (town of a few thousand people an hour from Green Bay) got average daily traffic of 13,500 in may of 2018 when checked. That’s 400,000 pro rated to a month. For an extremely rural area.
A route can be important and remain very remote. There are no major urban/population centers for many, many miles.
7,300 isn’t that lofty.
This is a perfect engine for a car the correct size.
The soft tires in the second stint may have been more of a detriment than a bonus. As he closed on Verstappen and had to deal with disrupted/hot air in its wake, that was always going to overheat the softs and make them untenable.
They had a fresh set of mediums, they could’ve used those, while it may not have made…
Ah yes, Deadspin is the only place in the world take was said.
F1 is good. This post is a bad take.
MotoGP is top tier motorsport. It is literally the highest form of racing on two wheels.
Also F1 is good. If you don’t like it, don’t watch it. It is still good to many folks.
Seb did a great job to finish in 7th. He and Lewis were the only worthy drivers.
Though Gasly and Sainz were really excellent as well.
