Do you know how confusing it is that Thomas the Tank Engine has the blue, two red, and two green characters and they are the same shade of paint? We read Thomas books and my kid gets confused because Emily drives past Thomas, then meets Thomas coming down the line, past Thomas number 3.
I'm gonna guess British shops only sold three colours of paint in 1984?
Such a trainsist, thinking all blue or green trains look the same. /s
IMO- Best case he's a very capable supersub, and arguably could be having a better time racing in another series while being one, if that's something he desired after F1.
Worst case he's holding up the line for others who are on the upward arc of their careers, which potentially stunts the growth of Red Bull and their sister team, and maybe the junior teams to some degree.
He's had a career with more highlights than many get to experience. I think it's time he steps aside so others can get the chance to create their own highlights.
This is the one I can't figure out either. Not sure if that one is on the driver or team, because Lando fumbled his way into "any kind of slick would be better" over the radio. I haven't had a chance to watch it back to hear the entire exchange yet though so maybe there was a more defined call made at some point that wasn't broadcast on the main feed.
The softs were used and the mediums were new. McLaren has long carried the trait of quick tire switch-on and should have known it was more or less a sprint to the finish at that point.
Alonso has really been in the shadows lately it seems. Any given weekend the car is more or less nowhere to start with and they end up flirting with the undesirable end of the midfield. I find it interesting it's so close but it also makes me think maybe the team and both drivers are more or less at the limit of their current design already. Time will tell I suppose.
Yerba mate 10/10 will do again shortly
