Why did no one just suggest getting a tent? I see some say get some other vehicle and add a roof box or tent to it, but why not keep the vehicle he has and just add a tent?

Buy a roof box for your xB. Done. Backup answer - any car with a roof box. Friends have camped with their two kids in their Prius with a roof box for 12 years.

Unfortunately, Max doesn’t seem to learn much from big crashes.  I figured Silverstone would have kinda helped cement the idea that you can’t win a race if you wipe out into the barriers... but he seems to like to do that.

Swapping the power unit and still getting 2nd in Sochi definitely gives Max a considerable advantage on paper. You gotta think Max will try to take the next 3 or so races to lock up a win and Mercedes will run their current PU as long as they’re in contention, so they’re running a worse car with a worse engine but a…

I’m a Max fan (and have a ton of respect for Lewis), and you hit it right on the head here. Had Max assessed the situation in Silverstone properly he would have remembered he walked away in the sprint race and had no need to defend on Lap 1 as hard as he did. At Monza, I think he was just really pissed at the shitty…

but it seems like “the sign” might need some enhancement

I feel sick.

On my flight home from Charlotte, a woman standing at the gate started to throw a fit about wearing a mask, and the (sassy) gate attendant simply said, “Ma’am, I don’t get paid enough to deal with your shit. You sit your ass down and put on your mask.”

“The new Corolla SUV is a very slow car, but I expect it’ll rush off dealer lots.”

Guy dropped his phone under the bed and got inspired. “If it holds up a mattress, it must be able to keep a car together!”

RB is keeping their option on him, so there’s a small window I suppose...but not likely.
Scenario: Perez is dropped in 2023; either he remains somewhat inconsistent or they decide he’s too pricey. Gasly goes to Renault to replace retiring Alonso and then Albon maybe is left to RB?

I wonder if Max still has the clause…

I think he was implying that Ric and Vet were the only ones that WEREN’T kneecapped.

I know this is the last ICE car from Lotus and everyone is treating it like this is the end. But, while it IS the end, remember they made the Elise for over 20 years!

Russell has proved that he can be a good boy and follow instructions (so far) given that he’s been gracious about his seat at Williams while very obviously wanting to be at Merc.

Word around the paddock is that Mercedes has made up its mind about where its drivers are going. [...] team principal Toto Wolff said a decision was made.

Other parties can include managers/agents, licensing/advertising contracts, etc. Its the driver who makes the decision, but there are other parties that may agree/disagree with it and need to negotiate their piece including up-to termination of their own advertising with that athlete.
