The go-to comparison has been Pete Maravich, but given that he played before the three-point line came a long, there are some pretty substantial differences in their games. Still an absolute magician with a basketball. Honestly, the best comparison I have for Curry at this point is probably Wayne Gretzky, or Babe

Kubica, yeah. There’s also limitations based on OEM deals. Vettel and Alonso both seem keen, but neither Ferrari nor Honda have an LMP1 and the teams sure as heck aren’t going to let their drivers win a race for their competitors.

I’d love to see them get vocal. They need to at this point. TBH, I hope the Grand Prix Drivers Association’s announcement of general unhappiness leads somewhere, all the way down to the garbage calendar the World Motor Sport Council somehow approved this year. There’s no reason Baku should be on top of Le Mans, just

The ACO and FIA actually had a formal gentleman’s agreement that F1 wouldn’t race that weekend. Then they said they had no choice, but wouldn’t overlap start times. Then they overlapped start times

Hulkenberg wouldn’t be available anyway, since F1 scheduled Baku on the same weekend.

Disappointing that Hulkenberg & Tandy didn’t get a shot at defending their win in a 3rd car. Tandy in particular was instrumental in beating the Audis at last year’s LeMans.

The admin is an x-cop? 100 bucks says he is not using publicdata website to pull up drivers names but rather one of his cop buddies who is currently active run the plates which is a big no no.

In related news, one of the BEST races of the year happens this weekend: The V8 Supercars Bathurst 1000. Incredible racing on one of the best tracks anywhere, Mount Panorama. And yes, you WILL see the occasional kangaroo on the track. Hopefully Jalopnik will post streaming links later this week. Don’t miss it!

I see it as fair, maybe not what some want to hear but I am paid for my opinion not to write stock copies of press releases. And I am totally happy with my reputation.

I disagree, when challenged like that I have to respond. Vindicated does not mean it’s a good thing necessarily.

Maglite.

Maglite.

Brilliant.

Did we learn nothing about the race car + rain + safety vehicle equation in Japan?

The old joke about Detroit was that you didn’t want to buy a car that was assembled on a Monday or Friday, because the worker was either hung over or in a hurry to get out and start drinking. Now I guess you don’t want to buy a car that was assembled late in the day by a hungry worker who didn’t eat lunch.

RE Neutral: Better driver’s training.
