Nice article, but I would have like to hear how the single wheel impact the handling ? Is it a good ? Bad ? Different ? Neutral ?

The poor car is called le voiture noir, la voiture noir, le voiture noire, la voiture noire (bingo, that’s the right spelling) and is said to be Jean or Ettore Bugatti personal ride, indifferently... Am I missing a joke ?

Audi e-tron, because that’s french for turd.

I do not know the history of the Express, but it looks very much inspired by the 1956 Derny Taon, designed by famed Roger Tallon (designer of the french TGV high speed train, the Salomon SX90 ski boots, the Teleavia portable TV set and head of GE design dept in the 60’s.)

Sorry, that’s not my experience. No one has flashed his high beam at me. And it does light up the side of the road too. Those are not cheap LEDs with a sharp cutout.

The name came from a french tv show. That’s cultural appropriation.

Yes. Yes. Yes. This. It’s fantastic. It works so well.

I assume that the price of the parts must be horrendous, indeed.

Under the trunk, in a basket, is the correct solution.

I agree that the decision was debatable (I’m happy they let them race, but, by the rules and in the name of consistency, Max should have been given a penalty IMO.). But Max steering angle would have added nothing. He was coming way too hot to make the turn, anyway. He may have turn the wheel to the right at some…

I believe the PU is excluded from the cost cap. So, Hamiliton could get a new PU after Qatar and take the 5 spots penalty in Saudi Arabia.

Indeed, it’s french for drophead coupé...

Like everybody else, I think that’s a terribly bad take on every level (very unsual from you, I must add).

In all fairness, her dress would have been more appropriate at the AVN Awards than a grid walk. Now, I get that it goes with her public persona, just like the bodyguard but it shows how out of place she was.

Maybe she should’nt be invited on the grid, then. Being around her seems dangerous. 

I used for years a 1971 Peugeot 504 Ti, 2 litres, 4 cylinders, fuel injected by Kugelfischer. It was 25 years old and has always been super reliable.

French guy here. You’re not wrong about how hard it is to compare US and euro wages. Now, a chef de partie in a starred restaurant in Paris earn much more than the medium wage in his profession. That’s a position for a confirmed cook, with a nice CV.

Are you me ?

Seriously ? No, that’s not how it is supposed to work.

Bagnaia himself blamed the tyre. The right choice, he said, but a compound that needed to be ridden hard constantly to keep the temperature.
