It does, and some times it is contractual (see Schumacher at Ferrari) but Red Bull takes it to the extreme. Other teams have variations on gentlemen’s agreements based on who gets to Turn 1 first. It worked for Ferrari it is works for Red Bull, but it makes things a bit boring.

So you don’t have a cell phone, but you comment on the internet...

I’m the opposite, SiriusXM is a must-have. Particularly on long road trips, it is better than hunting for local stations and being at the mercy of their signals and formats, and doesn’t rely on cellular signal, which can be spotty.

Navigation. After trying - and failing - to keep up with the updates for our Pacifica’s Nav systems, I gave up. A good cell phone mount and any number of phone-based mapping solutions are better. When I upgraded the radio in my GTI to gain CarPlay, I specifically did not opt for a Nav radio because Waze and CarPlay do…

Even if Newey isn’t designing the car around what works best for Max, the team certainly prioritizes his wants and needs for the set up, design and implementation of updates, and so forth. They did the same for Vettel he he was their dude. Just ask Mark Webber and the long list of other drivers who paired up with him…

Tw0-and-a-half factors to the RB19s success:

This is another one of those topics that makes me wonder if everyone at Jalopnik thinks everyone lives in Brooklyn. The last time I lived close enough to a job to be able to ride a bicycle to it, I was delivering newspapers. And the last job that I had that had facilities to support bicycle riding to work (showers…

Good. Going with the 18-inch wheels was a bad idea. Go back to the smaller wheels, and while they’re at it go with smaller, less effective brakes. Increasing stopping distances will improve the racing better than anything they do aerodynamically.

Is it 170,000 miles, or 170,000 km? I can’t think of any LHD country that sold these that doesn’t use the metric system.

I know a couple people who own variations of these. They are neat.

It would also help if they broaden their offerings. I’m seeing them everywhere these days in my neck of the woods, but they are still only a 4-door pickup and a very similar SUV.

Mandated breathalyzer tech. As in you have to blow into something to get your car to work? Like for everyone?

I don’t think full self-driving as promised will ever be technically possible. Never have. A bunch of sensors and cameras giving me some additional information is nice, but these systems will never be sophisticated enough to fully take control. I’ve felt that from the beginning of the whole Tesla Autopilot thing and I…

Isn’t that would self-driving is supposed to be? Once I have to pay attention and be ready to take over control, it isn’t self-driving anymore.

I think it all depends on where the self-titled album appears in the artist’s catalogue. If it is the first album (Van Halen, The Cars, Led Zeppelin, etc.) more than likely if we’ve heard of it it’s because it was good. It’s when you get into the Beyonce situation, where the self-titled album comes later that you run…

Tesla, and particularly the original Model S, which was really the first mainstream, aspirational EV.

I agree with your two universal truths about Kinja, but they don’t necessarily extend to the greater internet.

Compared to the cars that became before and after, these early 60s compacts are almost forgotten and lost to history, which is too bad considering the styling, but understandable given the reliability issues that some of these era GM innovations suffered.

Or a wagon.

I don’t. To start, there is a non-zero percent chance that I am older than you. “I don’t watch videos on the internet” is the new “we don’t have a television in our house”, and suspect when one is commenting on a blog.
