What do you mean over-preferation? Because the list you posted shows that F4 gets you more points (not much more but still). They're driving the same cars as some F4 series so shouldn't they get the same points?
And it also seems like it's a downgrade from w series.
I'm suddenly missing the '21 livery. This looks like they were asked "like last year but more boring". Maybe it'll be more interesting IRL but this is whelming at best. The best part is the duracell branding again.
I really like Degas and Monet, and to a larger extent impressionism as a whole. To me their painting transcend vision only and I feel like I can hear the sound and smell the air of the scene depicted. By far my favourite art movement.
I also love Jan Van Eyck and how precise and tangible his paintings are. The Arnolfini portrait and Virgin and Child with Canon van der Paele are what immediately come to mind. Fur, silk, wood, paint, metals, reflections and soft shadows, everything is just incredibly lifelike and three dimensional. The reflection in the mirror in the Arnolfini portrait is also pretty crazy considering the entire thing is about a square foot in size.
There's plenty of others like Caravaggio and Rembrandt for their incredible use of chiaroscuro and depiction of emotions or Hieronymus Bosch with his wild scenes that often look like lsd infused fever dreams.
So do I, more interesting anyway than talking with yes men and I'm honestly speculating a whole fucking lot here anyway. See you in two years take care.
No. I think it will be based on results before history. I mean this will probably play out more like Lewis vs Alonso (with less animosity I hope) than Michael vs Rubens. You completely ignore how much time, money and effort they have been investing in Charles. I don't think that a 40 y.o Lewis will change any of this. And I also think you are taking the #1vs#2 driver a bit too black and white.
I think Charles is still the established #1 as it stands, meaning not having seen what's going to happen this year nor how Hamilton's going to perform in the same car. I don't think Lewis will get the "gotta prove your worth" treatment you're describing though, he already did that and to a greater extent that pretty much any other human that ever raced. My bet his that Ferrari is banking on him bringing multiple championships worth of experience first but that Charles is still the golden boy. All of that remains to be seen though.
That's where I think Hamilton will help the most actually. Carlos was pretty great with his strategy calls but it's not comparable to 7 WDC in a 8 consecutive constructors championship team kinda experience.
The guy is a seven times world champ and leads in victories and poles by quite a margin, he doesn't have much more to prove honestly. Hell winning in a Ferrari is probably the only thing that he could do to cement his legacy.
True. Maybe he believes he can mimic what Michael did though. If he does manage to win, that'd certainly cement his legacy as the goat. And since we're looking at past years, let's not forget how Merc fumbled the new regs though while Ferrari kinda came out the gate running until Newey pulled a rocket out of his ass, again.
A red line isn't that telling as to elevation changes or how wide the track is so I'm mostly speculating but counterclockwise would also be interesting I think. The sequence of 90deg turns is better for race starts than a tight chicane followed by a flat out section. I feel like the baku style turns allow for more flexibility in the lines which might lead to some good overtake opportunities and keeps the pack closer to one another. At the same time, a tight chicane right before the finish line is a great way to ramp up the stakes at the end of the lap and maybe punish overconfidence or allow some epic last moment moves for the brave. The "Madrid tunnel" to "valdebebas curve" section probably wont see any moves as they're large radius probably high speed turns which means close racing is suicide for lap time and tires unless you're in a much faster car. The rest is straights going into chicanes which is boring but will probably provide braking zone passes or incredibly predictable and undefendable DRS passes. That's kind of why I'd like the chicane right at the end of the lap to raise the stakes of going deep on the last turn.
But in any case, I'm not terribly excited about this layout.
Unfortunately, not a lot of people are that involved in the game to care about OGL and its ramifications. Most only want to play what they've seen in Stranger Things or Critical Role, they don't give a fuck about the rent people they watch and like have to pay to WotC. I believe that's what Hasbro is banking on. They will not back out of OGL1.1 as they knew some more hardcore players would criticize them. But the way news and stories are consumed nowadays, they also knew this would quickly get buried by the unending stream of "information" people consume and ultimately be entirely forgotten or ignored. Most people don't care about businesses practices if it doesn't affect them directly. Mix that with the crazy amount of IP crossovers they made in the last couple of years and you start to see how they are setting up a model so basically anyone who's tempted to try table top gaming will most likely be funnelled into their ecosystem.
I cannot stress this enough. They are owned by Hasbro. Last year was a massive win for both Dnd and Magic the Gathering yet they still layed off thousands of the people that made this possible. Even Sven Wincke of Larian who developed Baldur's Gate 3 said he couldn't even properly thank the DnD people he worked with because they were gone short after release. BG3 is probably the best game of the decade if not more and MTG is more popular than ever yet the people making them still get fired. Meanwhile, Hasbro and WOTC CEO's personally made millions in salary and bonuses.
So no, you are not supporting workers and artists by buying their products. You are proving them right.
It's what I meant. I understand that this negotiation cannot simply be fixed by a single check. Musk continually shows that he's a lying imbecile but Tesla management knows that if their workforce has the power to decide the terms of their employment, it's going to hurt their financial growth and that's unfortunately unacceptable for these leeches. Also the reason people cannot take unpaid (key word) time off, go back to school or have children is because they cannot afford it. Health care and insurance is also expensive when taken from an individual perspective. So of course the employers don't want to pay for that. So while I did simplify the issue, all of those advantages are actually means to mitigate the cost of living in this dysfunctional and unequal world.
I also want to say that I am 100% in support of the workers. People's lives are important and there is no businesses without people.

Well, it's green yes, but they completely scrapped the white so it's even more black than it was.
