So no Aero testing until 2025, except for the non bodywork stuff. Newey and Red Bull must be do sad as that is what they're geniuses at.

Do you still have carpets? I find that carpets are much bigger indicators of whether my dust mite allergy will kick up rather than visible dust that's flowing around. Best of luck in any case.

Consentomatic. Automatic rejection of all unnecessary cookies. It's not perfect but works often enough to be worth it.

You should read the Last Ringbearer if you haven't.

Which cars did you see this on? Because for me it was most apparent with Aston Martin, McLaren comparatively seemed to have almost no brake dust. Can't consciously remember the other ones tbh.

It's the Mercedes era all over again. The dominant design formula is determined and everybody is a year behind the team the came up with the formula.

It'll become closer and closer so Red Bull need a strong second driver so they can't lose on strategy.

Really? I love this. It's pure F1. Finding ways to win by bending the rules as hard as possible.

I think with the battles between Ferrari and Mercedes, and the battle between Aston Martin and McLaren it will be interesting regardless of the fight for P1. (Though a Piastri drive for P1 would make the latter even more exciting)

Though I could see McLaren not taking risks if they end up in P2 and P3 to make sure they can hop over AM)

Looks like it'll be super exciting. With Norris and Piastri putting themselves in P2 and P3 for now so they could overtake Aston Martin after all.

The physical market was long gone before Spotify happened, don't make your legitimate complaints look silly by blaming Spotify for it. The music industry simply had no good answer to deal with digital media.

Spotify did seem to force their hand and some artists improved and adapted. And it's never had a true monopoly with many different services coexesting and competing with it.

Commentators of Sky are hilarious in their anti Max flip-flopping.

Edit: for those not watching this feed. Max complained about people cutting in line when lining up to go on track. Commentators say it's fine and no reason to complain. Max cuts in line and overtakes car who basically stand still in the pit-exit. Commentators say it's dangerous and unnecessary. (I suspect because he did it to Russell)

Edit2: "we're sorry to say it's totally within the rules that he did that, but we still think it's silly and unnecessary" so much copium :'D

Commentators say sim work doesn't add much to your racecraft, yet the driver who just had the most dominant season of all time lives in his sim...

I get their point that you obviously need real experience in a real car on a real track as a continuous base and that without that your simwork doesn't help much to do a race well. But it does seem they dismiss it a bit too much.

Still I think this really consolidates his position at Red Bull. This is what they needed him to do in a season like this. Even next year already many people will mostly remember he had P2 at the end. Not how hard he had to fight for it.

I agree Baku is more exciting but this track was still more exciting than expected. Going back here next year doesn't seem so bad now.

No screen at the back looks weird with all those randoms behind them.

Edit: ok, didn't realise they were on those construction thingies. I guess it's nice more people get to look at the podium like that at the event. Smart change.

The circuit created chaos, which required skill to manage on and off track since you need to be ready to adapt. So it was exciting to watch.

I think I like this track more for racing than for qualifying though. A little bit like Baku, but with uglier scenery.

I love how they don't give a shit about the watery non-event.

I didn't realise that. Thanks for explaining.

What a weird place to do a podcast.

Celebrity flag waver standing there looks like he's being forced to go wave that flag by his mom.
