Having spent a few decades in aerospace machining, I’d like to hear more about the criteria that the FIA used to make their decision. If the parts aren’t dimensionally identical and if MB didn’t apply some novel principle then I don’t see a case.

Nobody sane outside the sports gave a shit about deflated footballs or “sign stealing” but here we are. It’s almost like a part of the integrity of sport is following the rules that all participants agreed to.

The fact that it took Renault multiple protests to be heard is part of the problem. The stewards who initially ruled Racing Point’s car as being in compliance with the rules are another.

I don’t see a major or even minor EU or North American city on the list. This headline could have easily been “living in an developing nation that pollutes like its 1977 LA is bad for your health.”

It’s glass, but very thin. Gordon wanted visibility to be a key characteristic of the T.50. Therefore, glass everywhere. 

If a little “curb contact” busts a ball joint or breaks a control arm, your car is a piece of shit. Go walk down your street and you’ll probably find curb rash on 9 out of 10 sets of wheels. Then note how many of them also have busted ball joints.

Well, they got me. RIP Stewart. Stolen off the streets in San Francisco at some point in the last few days. 1990 944S2 with an almost immaculate interior, freshly rebuilt engine by yours truly, new shocks, new vacuum tubes, all sorts of rebuild work under the hood including a timing belt and water pump. Ugh, what a…

The problem is you can work hard and honest all your life, and still end up broke. Or you can take a gamble on a few crimes, get better pay and conditions, and not have to worry about your labor making some rich asshole richer. Plus you get to inconvenience that rich asshole by taking their car. If hard work worked,…

“How do you know how to do that? Nobody can start this car but me.”

Stealing cars is hard work, it’s just more lucrative than equally demanding work. It also has low startup costs.

i think criminals will stake out a car that hasn’t moved in a few days though

oooh sick burn

You also left off that a lot of people are unemployed right now due to the pandemic. Unemployment rates tend to lead to higher crime rates as well.

One more reason to get out and drive
