Speaking as someone who watched this race live: it was fucking amazing. Hill’s engine blowing up has got to be one of the most memorable sporting moments for me.

You’ve got valid points, but there’s a scale problem. A rich person buying a $60-$80k Tesla is one thing, someone making $50k/yr that lives in an apartment and has no charger outside buying a BEV is another. Someone who lives in southern Cali that doesn’t have to worry about cold related range issues is one thing,…

Too soon? Too soon!

The 450SEL was a 6.9. The earlier 300SEL 6.3 was the original 6.3.

Hopefully Charles engine isn’t a write-off, because he will eventually get a big grid drop penalty in the future once they get through their PU allocation.

Ask Jalopnik: I have $12K and want to maximize my range anxiety. What car should I buy?

Always worthy.

I think they are giving him the “mid-pack” hope-for-a-SC tire strategy and it keeps paying off, where Hamilton gets/opts for the better pace strategy and keeps.... not paying off.

Years of practice driving a piece of shit with a Mercedes engine is paying off.

People are really complaining over nothing here. After DRS was enabled at lap 34 only 5 real on track passes were made (ignoring Leclerc’s off and recovery). Sure, some cars were further apart because it was later into the race, but adding DRS in did not break up any of the trains or even incite overtaking within them.

In one season with Alonso they had exactly the same number of points (109A vs. 109H). In their three seasons together, Button outscored him (662B vs. 632H). In four seasons vs. Rosberg he barely outscored him (996R vs. 1032H). Sure, he thrashed Kovalainen and Bottas, but these were both second-rate drivers. Button and…

It didn’t surprise me that the race director delayed DRS. Sure, it was dry on line, but off line (where you pass) was still wet. Maybe 3-4 laps earlier, but not when the announcers started noting it.

DRS is a terrible gimmick. The sooner it comes to an end the better. If its stays I would prefer that they utilize it in a manner similar to Indycar with push-to -pass: each driver gets X seconds of DRS to use when, where, and how they choose, andwhen its gone its gone. At least it would be a strategic element used in…

It’s what happens when you get older and maybe the car doesn’t suit his driving style where it does Russell.

OMG perfect. That design is just awful all around. Use whatever fancy words and psychology you want but it is horrible. Yes, the smaller grill is soooo much better.  BMW is betting on China long term. Have moved on from us - They know they will still have buyers here, but we are no longer the alpha target

No. I will get into a fist fight over this.

Counter argument: No, it doesn’t.
