It’s brown...

Yes, though there are theories out there - conspiratorial theories if you will - that Griffin crashing the Enzo was done on purpose.

Remember the Ideal Gas Law from Deflategate? It’s kind of that.

Would a mechanical failure count as an out-of-depth experience though? If anything, LeClerc did the one thing he could do and pitched the Ferrari around so it backed into the barriers.

As do way too many YouTube Creators.

Are the foggy pictures supposed to be your subliminal proof of functioning air conditioning, or that the car in fact is in San Francisco?

The important things are that you clicked and you hung in until the end.

Vettel and Verstappen did what they did in no small part because once Red Bull finds their they are all-in on that guy. When Red Bull doesn’t have their guy, they are much more touchable. Perez is effectively doing exactly what Red Bull wants him to be doing.

You can say the exact same things about the whole Star Wars universe, and you’d be just as correct.

If I had a nickel for every time some car guy friend mentioned, You know they filmed the Daytona scenes for Ford v. Ferrari at California Speedway, and the Le Mans scenes at Road Atlanta” like it mattered to 99% of the viewing public...

If it doesn’t matter if you hit the button multiple times, who cares if anyone does it?

You realize that the author over on The Drive is being dragged by anyone and everyone who understands the film making process and that they were basically filming something for post-production, and not documenting a “real life” pit stop?

If you’re more equal than others, perhaps what you are returning to isn’t so bad in your eyes. This wasn’t Mr. and Mrs. Potato Farmer yanked off their collective farm and dropped into the Free World.

With Schumacher or Vettel or Hamilton, or name your dominant era, there were always variables that mixed things up a bit: competitive teammates that were at least given half a chance (or more) to compete, mechanical failure and crashes.

The goals of the current rules haven’t quite panned out. Add to that the remarkable reliability of the Red Bulls and their philosophy of picking a number one driver and focusing everything on him, and you get a boring season.

As I commented elsewhere, the second worst three-word phrase in the English language is “reliable Red Bulls”.

You could say that about the entirety of the Vega. I have a soft spot for them, but they really pooched it with that one.

I’m a glutton for punishment, a sucker for 2-door Golfs, and I have a VAG-COM.

The second worst three-word phrase in the English language is “reliable Red Bulls”. Things were infinitely more interesting the last time Red Bull had a dominant run like this, when the cars would fail or Vettel and Webber would run into each other.

1. No it’s not. Compelling is when another team can at least sneak out a win here or there.
