They didn’t license it.

Then Kinja immediately unfixed it. SMH.

Nah, we’ve got that rule here in Oz now (with a few exceptions). Used to be 15 years but that has changed over time.

They’re friendly little buggers. Those fangs will go through boot leather (or your fingernail). They will chase you. If you find them floating in your pool, don’t pick them out with your hands because they’re probably still alive (they can hold an air bubble to breathe) and they’re also likely to be pretty pissed-off.

They did, briefly, at least on Sky’s coverage, when they went through the starting grid.

But think of The Show!

He doesn’t say how many miles he’s driving, but we can determine a range of implied distance because we know how much he claims to spend and the cost of his gas and his claimed efficiency

Neoconservative claims in, neoconservative policies out?

No worries.

The teams will no doubt claw back more downforce, possibly at the expense of more turbulence, but the rules seem to be quite restrictive this time around.

What I’m trying to figure out then is who they sue, and in which court? Do they sue Masi? 

The better rule would be that lapped cars get shuffled back. If you've been lapped, well, bad luck.

They can appeal to the FIA’s ICA (International Court of Appeal), but not to the CAS (it only has jurisdiction over doping cases in F1).

Supercars does it here in Australia.

Directly or indirectly? Directly, the prize money is only for the WCC, so this result had no effect on the standings in that championship. Indirectly? I suppose there are sponsors and the like, possibly promotional earnings for the WDC, but arguing that would be more difficult.

I believe that the apparent indecision on Masi’s part was because he was getting conflicting information right at that time (it transpires that he could have let the lapped cars through about a lap earlier but didn’t get the right information from his team), and he was simultaneously trying to deal with a couple of…

You’ve got a couple of things slightly confused here. The FIA could certainly pay both teams the WDC money, and I’m sure they would be happy to do so, because there isn’t actually any prize money for the WDC.

The 2022 regs should in theory reduce or even eliminate the need for DRS (inability to closely follow a car due to turbulence and loss of downforce). The downforce loss of a car in wake turbulence is supposedly going to be 5-10%, rather than ~50% as it is presently.

But if he's stuck in traffic then the mileage numbers are even more insane. If he's driving 44K miles a year at 20 mph, that's 2200 hours per year in his car. A year is only 8760 hours long. That's more than 6 hours a day behind the wheel.

I wonder whether there's a table the shows levels of support among Republicans for all of these. A list running from least to most supported would be quite a nice way of setting it out.
