It’s almost as if the superlicense requirement rules weren’t the same back then.

So what you’re saying is that he’s *takes of sunglasses* .... unqualified?

To be fair, I’m only disappointed in his comments about loyalty. But Otmar wasn’t at Alpine yet when the real damage with Piastri was done.

I really tried but Kinja only allows me to hand out one.

He was consistently competing for podiums back at Red Bull, and he was not the face of the sport.

Lando’s is doing much, much better. Outqualifying Daniel 14-2 so far this season, outracing him 10-3. 88-19 in points.

There’s nobody in IndyCar who has Herta’s speed/age combo. ‘Finish better’ is helpful to absolutely nobody, as it sidesteps the issue of how poorly IndyCar is scaled on the FIA Superlicense points list. Currently, P4 in IndyCar warrants the same amount of SL points as P4 in the US and Japanese Formula Regional series,…

He was also 31 years old when he got the job.

Yeah their Clubsport V3 pedals have rumble motors on its throttle and brake pedal.

Yeah, bizarre to see that Elizabeth completely overlooked the fact that both Horner and Marko have effectively confirmed that they are willing to let Gasly move to Alpine for 2023 if they can find a decent replacement for him at AT.

I sympathize with Alguersuari insomuch that it’s refreshing to see someone have the self awareness to acknowledge that they lack the mental toughness to deal with the ultracompetitive F1 environment. However, he also makes some claims that insinuate unfair treatment by Red Bull management without any evidence of this,…

So are we pretending as if Gasly to Alpine is not gonna happen?

Technically, there’s 247. But for F1 purposes, there’s only really 2 realistic options. With or without the chicane on the Mistral straight. And it’s much better with the chicane.

Probably because of weather.

No, the race at Austin is the US Grand Prix.

I like Dev Patel too much for him to be stuck in this role for the next decade.

A direct drive system has the wheel mounted directly to the motor shaft. For belt (most Fanatec/Thrustmaster products) or gear (Logitech) systems, the belt/gear translates the forces coming from the (smaller) motor to your hands. So fidelity will always be an issue there, and delayed feedback and lost details are…

Paul Ricard is a good track, and the races have been fine. I agree it looks like shit, but the same can be said of COTA and nobody seems to care about that one.

Just be happy it’s still there. It’s quite possible this will be the last one for a while.

In which month would you put the Montreal/Miami/Austin/Vegas run? Particularly since I assume you’d like to run Mexico in there as well. And would we have to move Brazil into this leg too?
