It’s aesthetically a better livery too, I think.

He’s a card-carrying member of the International Federation of Automotive Purity, right?
For reference:
The angle of the stripes on the RZ is even better though. Kinda wish they had copied that.
This is one of the reasons I love MotoGP so much. Those guys are there on talent alone. Superhuman talent.
A slight correction - Verstappen said “that’s what you get when you don’t leave *the* space”, not “...when you don’t leave *me* space”. It’s a small difference (and shouldn’t have any bearing on the decision), but a significant one in my mind. The use of “the” suggests he’s referring to racing etiquette in general,…
The fact that Piastri, as a rookie winner of F3 and the championship leader in F2, is unlikely to get a seat on F1 next year, is indicative of the lack of opportunities in F1 for talented juniors.
The stewards very specifically don’t consider the consequences or the circumstances. They judge each incident in isolation, as they have noted here and at Silverstone.
Tisnae Paul’s fault if ye cannae ken him.
That was quite a race. The adrenaline is bound to wear off soon, and it's not even 5am here.
“ leaving F1 scrambling to find adequate young talent to fill its seats.”
Well there is that. Jack it up and put the wheel arches from this on there though, and you're an off-chance of getting it there.
We get manual WRXs in Australia. But we still don’t get a bloody manual Levorg, because apparently women don’t like manual cars or some bullshit.
They just need to put a goddamn manual in the Levorg.
That’s an issue with any car with a rising belt-line unfortunately. It was true of the last Impreza too - there’s an expanse of sheetmetal above the rear wheel that looks kinda crap. The Cadillac CTS was awful in this regard:
“Now think about the extra charging benefits of a battery around 1/3rd the size.”
The time to recharge from 20% to 100% doesn’t really change, as long as you have enough input power. It’s related to the battery chemistry, not the size of the battery - you can only add energy at a certain rate before you start to cause damage to the cell.
I’m seriously considering reconnecting the meep horn as an auxiliary “excuse me” horn with a separate dash button (there's even a convenient place for it on the car). If it doesn’t work I can go to the “MOVE” horn.
That won't help Tracy.
“Meep horn” is about right. The stock one in my MR2 (since retired in favour of twin air horns) was similar - it sounded like an asthmatic roadrunner.
