  1. Bottas wins because, well Bottas.
  2. Oh, and Ronda over Gibraltar every day of the week.
  3. We spent three nights on the east coast (Alcudia) and two nights on the west coast (Palma) and it wasn’t nearly enough. I could do an entire vacation on Mallorca.
  4. Today was a fun day. Bye Georgie Boy.
  5. Won’t painting it make it slippy?
  6. You two drink them really young.
  7. Or let Michelin in and build a tire that lasts the entire race. Sauber would benefit.
  8. We did a magnum of Barolo and a magnum of Barbaresco on Saturday with a couple of friends. Ended the night with Japanese whiskey which was really good. Sunday was a bit rough.
  9. Butter chicken at Trattoria Sostanza is my favorite chicken dish in the world. I've recreated it stopetop with some success but there's something about cooking it over wood the way they do.
  10. And back to Italy.
  11. Nice setting. My favorite wine drinking of all time was with friends in a park in Tuscany overlooking vines. We drank out of paper cups and shared salami and cheese on a god knows how old stone wall. What a day.
  12. Yeah, I think it's more a Ferrari is separating itself from the rest of the pack rather than oh boy, Ferrari is as good as RBR.
  13. Yep. Holbox is awesome. Bring cash because not everyone takes credit cards.
  14. 4 hour erection for Ferrari fans. Ferrari: summary of information from @formu1a__uno via live Twitch: - Ferrari was the car that presented the best on Friday which means that the preparation work carried out in Maranello before the race weekends is the benchmark of the paddock. This is not the first time this has happened. It's a real trend. In the paddock, they say that if it was a sprint weekend, no one would have caught Sainz and Leclerc. - Ferrari's victory in Melbourne was a signal. The first important signal was in Jeddah during the last stint where Leclerc and Verstappen had the same racing pace. There, we understood a first important piece of data on which Ferrari can build. - According to @GiulyDuchessa , Ferrari will still bring something new to the SF-24 in Japan. Little new things. At Imola, it will be the start of the important new package on the SF-24. The car has a healthy base to be able to push on development. The most visible changes at Imola are on the tighter sidepods but also the air intakes. There will also be a new floor. At Ferrari, they consider the Imola package a bit like a more extreme “new car”. - Compared to last year, there is no longer a favorable or unfavorable track for the SF-24. It's a car with a lot of aerodynamic load, somewhat similar to RB in the sense that the SF-24 has no major flaws. It's easy to take to the limit, easy to adjust and it goes well on several different turns. What is still a little lacking on the SF-24 is the peak performance in very fast corners but it is slight. It's a car with a lot of balance. Bearman also demonstrated that the SF-24 is easy. It gives a lot more confidence to the pilots. - Where Ferrari must unlock performance is the behavior on new rubber. In fact, the SF-24 is already a competitive car on race pace, balanced, handles the different tires well. When Ferrari uses the new rubber, it performs well but it does not yet have this performance peak like the RB which seems a little more competitive on the new rubber. - Problem heating the tires in Q3? In fact, the car has changed technical characteristics compared to last year, that is to say it is more difficult to put the car in the right window in Q3 with the soft compound. But on the other hand, it goes much faster on Sunday. The team still needs to work on this aspect for qualifying, but the car goes much faster on Sunday than on Saturday. It's more of a strength for the race than for qualifying. But the team still managed to maintain a decent level in qualifying.
  15. About 300. I had almost 400 at one time. Not a huge number but honestly it’s plenty. At this point I want to make sure I always have a stock of my favorite producers. I’d also like to keep mixing in new. The goal is to expand on French wine while keeping a good Italian stock. Then some California and other countries varietals. I’d say 50% Italy 30% French and a 20% mix of the others. That’s my personal taste.
  16. My cellar needs to grow instead of retracting as it has done since Covid. My every three year trip to Italy to buy wine got sidetracked.
  17. Scuderia Ferrari!! Tifosi!!
  18. Agreed, but the three B’s from Italy are pretty goddamned good. IMO. Lol
  19. Scrambled porn on cable tv. “I swear to god I saw a nipple!”
  20. It takes two minutes to setup an account with the airline. Depending on the airline you can also get better than 1:1 at times.
