  1. There are rumors he turned RB down recently. That would be hard to believe though.
  2. He spelled irrelevant wrong. LMAO. Never change, Satya. I’m sure when we get rid of Brandon Harris you’ll be making this exact same leap in logic in our favor.
  3. He’s really not though. That’s only for absolute freak athletes. Collins doesn’t fit the bill. He lacks explosiveness.
  4. lol wut. He’s nowhere near a Day 2 pick right now. He had 1 sack and 3 TFLs in 12 games last year. He’d have to take a huge step forward to get to that range in next year’s draft.
  5. The Gulf Oil color combination is unrivaled. It will always look incredible.
  6. Wow. Did not realize @utee94 was Asian. You learn something new every day.
  7. We’ve got Tex Pete going full Football Board giving room temperature IQ takes on a game he didn’t even watch, he listened to it on the motherfucking radio! And we’ve got fully unleashed Satya off his Prozac with no word limit?! Oh hell yeah. Surly is in midseason form, baby! I really hope we don’t get a commitment any time soon to mess this up.
  8. I don’t think it’s much of an adjustment. It sounds like at either place you get subjected to weird, cult rituals and dry humping.
  9. I think they want a benchmark for Yuki. They want to see if he’s worth promoting to the second RB seat next year. If either Yuki or Danny Ric clearly beat the other, I’d say that driver has the inside lane for the second RB seat. That and De Vries has been absolute dog shit and never deserved the F1 seat in the first place. Scoring a point at Monza in that Williams really wasn’t that impressive and his junior career was extremely underwhelming. Easily the worst junior career of any F2 winner ever. I mean Latifi got second the year he won F2 and he didn’t beta Latifi by much.
  10. You’re clearly not a true Ferrari fan. If you were, you’d skip the post race too.
  11. Yeah. It honestly makes no sense. Checo’s pace in the race isn’t that far off of Verstappen, but he can’t get out of Q1 in the fastest car on the grid.
  12. So McLaren are the second fastest car now? lmao Bummer he didn’t have a good last run in Q3. He should have the pace to score some good points tomorrow though.
  13. Danny Ric or Yuki in the second RB would be a lot of fun.
  14. Checo’s gonna be out of the car by summer break.
  15. Hey, any time I can compare someone to Ian Boyd, I go for it because it might be the most insulting comparison known to man, besides Ketch’s physique, of course.
  16. Because points don’t explain the whole story. There were also a bunch of times where Lewis had a significant pace advantage but only our scored George by 2 points because the Merc was the clear 3rd fastest car and there was no 4th team that was even close, so Lewis rinsing his teammate didn’t make a big point difference. Any points comparison of teammates who don’t have a car capable of winning races will be largely due to luck and circumstances outside of their control, because being better than your teammate gets you a 2 point advantage, while having bad luck can lead to a 12 point deficit in a single race. The same thing happened with Charles against Sainz in 2021. Leclerc was clearly much faster and the better driver, but Sainz scored more and a bunch of people tried to say he was better than Leclerc. Then Ferrari had a top 2 car in 2022, and Leclerc showed he was clearly better and our scored Sainz while having worse reliability and strategy than Sainz. I know you like to rely heavily on data, but you’re going full Ian Boyd in this thread by only focusing on the points and ignoring every other factor.
  17. This is wrong in a bunch of ways, but the biggest thing you ignored was Lewis running a ton of experimental setups the first half of last year that had him way off the pace. Once he quit doing that, his pace was better than George last year, and that has continued into this year. Not to mention that George struggles with wheel to wheel racing and has shown a history of being quite clumsy in close quarters. Lewis is still a better driver than George, and it’s pretty obvious if you pay attention to more than just race finishes/points without any other context.
  18. Track limits isn’t automated. It’s literally people at the steward’s office watching camera angles to see if all four wheels were outside the white lines.
  19. Leclerc had slightly better pace in every other stint so I think it’s more likely Leclerc was saving tires early while Sainz was pushing because he knew he had to pass his teammate to have a good race. Plus, Sainz violated track limits 5 times in his first 14 laps trying to push Leclerc, so his imaginary faster pace was completely unsustainable and led to him getting two penalties that dropped him down to 6th.
