McLaren explains reason behind F1 British GP hard tyre call for Norris

Jump

  • Thank you for quoting the article.

    I was wondering why McLaren stuck with the hards but that reasoning makes sense. Still not sure why they went with the hards in the first place though. The race was well over half finished and they could have completed it on softs. In the end I don't think it changed anything but curious nonetheless.

  • Verstappen has gotten boring. He's a great driver, no doubt, with a great car. It will be interesting to see how many races they can win this year.

    The real race excitement is for the other two podium spots. Norris and Piastri both had great races. It would have been nice to see Piastri get that third place finish.

    All in all it was an enjoyable race and Verstappen had to work a little for it this time.

  • Absolutely. Most folks will never have to worry about it. I would bet those using period tracker apps didn't think it was a big deal either.

    As a middle aged white CIS male, I am sure I have nothing to worry about. However, people in marginalized communities can't be so confident.

    Protecting basic privacy isn't that hard and should be of interest to everyone. Governments and big corps shouldn't know everything about us.

  • Nobody cares what porn you are into. Probably.

    However, women using period trackers were free to do so in the US up into recently. Now that data can be subpoenaed and used to help prosecute if it is believed she may have had an abortion.

    You never know when information posted online, or collected otherwise, could be used against you. It's best to seek privacy respecting options whenever possible.
