Formula 1 2026
OK, but in the previous post you seemed opposed to the rules that create the loopholes. I'm just saying they have no choice but to create a formula with rules. Lots of rules.

Formula 1 2026
Yeah that was my exact reaction as well. How could that happen that quickly, over and over and over. Seems like even if they could do it, it would be a reliability nightmare, but what do I know? But lots of people have somehow come to that conclusion. To be clear though, there are also other theories going around about how the higher ratio 'trick' is being achieved. There is an apparent racing engineer on F1T who says it's not being done by expansion/changing geometry, but by something more elegant. IDK. The compression ratio stuff seems, at best, like all sorts of wild, unsubstantiated rumors flying in all directions imho. Who knows what's really going on there? And if anyone has pulled off some CR trick, for all we know, others may have done it too.

Yeah, of course. But they don't really have a choice.

Yeah some ppl think they've found a way to basically increase the piston stroke at operating temp, by making the connecting rods from some alloy that will shorten on the downstroke and lengthen on the upstroke, thus drawing in more air on the downstroke and compressing it more on the upstroke. Of course, as always with F1, It doesn't end there. It seems theFIA (Tombazis) screwed the pooch when asked for clarification about it, and didn't make all the teams aware of the clarification that would allow that. I'm not sure if he's supposed to do that or not. Just passing along what I've been reading. ETA: However, some are saying homologation isn't until March ... which means, afaik, this is not all settled yet.

Re: Alonso, this is pretty cool. Seems like he still belongs in F1 to me ... In Wet Qualys in the Ground-Effect Era, only one driver featured in every Q3 Q3 appearences list: ALO: 10/10 VER: 9/10 NOR: 9/10 SAI: 9/10 LEC: 8/10 RUS: 8/10 HAM: 6/10 PER: 6/9 PIA: 5/5 OCO: 5/10

Yes. Make America Good Again.

For sure. And yeah, I saw one of the Huffines signs too, come to think of it. It said he wants to "DOGE Texas Government". Seems like that hasn't aged well.

Yep. Any of us who've worked in and with bureaucracies know that this kind of 'mistake' can and will happen, esp when the leadership is unpopular with the rank and file. And we all know that there are FBI agents & probably DoJ, too, who hate Trump with the white-hot intensity of a thousand suns and are in no position to just end their careers. So they'll resist in the ways that are available to them. Many people, including people here, predicted this kind of thing happening. The bureacracy is real, but it takes real people to run it.

Not sure why, but this seems meaningful to me (even if only anecdotal ... and yep, quoting myself for an update) Just finished the 2-day drive back from Granby/Winter Park, again via Amarillo, but a different route on the Amarillo to Austin leg. Not a single Trump flag or sign. So, the entire way there and back, plus driving around in Colorado, we saw one Trump flag and zero signs. I can't remember driving to, from, or in NM or Colorado since 2016 without seeing so many Trump signs along the way that we didn't even bother counting them (starting as soon as we got out of Austin on 71/290/183).

I was thinking about this the other day too. 100% spot on imho.

Trump/MAGA has ruined sports
One good thing to come of this is that now we have a really easy way to spot many of the pieces of shit who may previiously have been flying under the radar.

Speaking of which, we just drove from Austin to Granby, Colorado, via Amarillo, We saw one Trump flag on the entire trip. One.

All things SNL
Pretty, pretty, pretty good. Reminded me of when the show was consistently funny and had fewer fucks to give. Seemed a bit more irreverent and edgy too, than it's been in a while. Maybe AG should be a regular.
