Ferrari were never, never, actually going to switch. This was a major bluff and it worked, but let’s not pretend that it was even remotely likely to happen.

I was suggesting that past performance is not an indicator of present success, a pretty basic concept that you shouldn’t need spelled out to you.

I started cracking up when I saw this guy, how the fuck does he function as a human being with such wild emotions. The game was level, It wasn’t even a bad result yet.

They only have to wait another week though, really. the knockout stage is always Englands kryptonite... so are penalties... and Germany.

You’re a newspaper?

They’ve been successful over time, but it’s a brand new car and a brand new engine. There’s no guarantee they will be reliable, or that they wont crash into an Audi, they have a history of doing that too.

They’re not quite that far behind, LOL.

Hmm. Still makes no sense to me but, admittedly, I’m far from an expert on tires.

I was thinking more like a F404 without critical parts that actually make it work and dressed up to look like a F119-PW-100. It would look the part, but once Chinese engineers reviewed the designs and tried building components in small scale they’d realize it’s fake. A scramjet looks totally different to a turbofan,…

I wonder if they were afraid of running afoul of the “Homosexual Propaganda” law Russia recently passed after they put a heart shaped ball on their van and packed it full o’dudes.

Given how far behind China is on engines, I’m not even sure she would know if she had good info. DOD should have slipped her some bogus drawings and let the Chinese wast time and money to figure out they got duped.

I think we saw what Corvette and Porsche have at Daytona and Sebring. If either is going to win this weekend it will be due to reliability and strategy, not outright pace.

Could you explain how tires could benefit a particular engine configuration? Unless the compounds are very different front-to-back, I don’t see how that’s possible.

the race is usually fairly cold through the night though, so it’s not unrepresentative.

I don’t think she thought out steps 1-3 as well as you have.

He’s the professional baseball hit king. It ain’t all MLB, dude.

Why did you post a picture of a human shaped pile of garbage holding a microphone?

Seconded on point 4. Pete Rose is the most venomous, bitter, miserable piece of shit in MLB history and I would include Ichiro’s childhood stats if it ment taking away the only baseball related thing Rose has left.

I really don’t want to see a super un-competitive GTE-Pro class with all these manufacturers, but it’s looking pretty likely unless the Fords and Ferraris have serious reliability issues.

It is if you want to use mods, most only support one version.
