If Mekies doesn't perform as well as he has been in RB, they should make Tsunoda CEO for a few races to get a comparison.

Red Bull won the steward appeal this race. I don't think Max could have avoided shooting past Oscar when this happened, and normally that shouldn't have happened, but I think in this case the wet conditions and poor visibility were a mitigating factor.

Oscar had the right to control the restart and had to do it with very little notice, if overshooting or avoiding action needs to be avoided then it should be up to the drivers behind to maintain a safe gap. Personally I think they should have just called it a racing incident and penalized no one.

I had an opportunity to watch with the F1TV commentary this time (the broadcasting rights here are for a Sky-based company), and I have to say it was refreshing for it not to be a complete Norris-fest, while still acknowledging it's a special race for him. DC's reaction to Max's lap was fantastic.

How did Jerome d'Ambrosio end up as Deputy Team Principal at Ferrari???

Looking it up, he went from driving in Formula E to a management role there around 2020...

Good article, the standout for me was the summary:

In the past year, Sulayem has sacked the FIA's head of compliance Paolo Basarri, the head of the audit committee Bertrand Badre and committee member Tom Purves, the FIA's chief executive officer Natalie Robyn, F1 race director Niels Wittich, senior F1 steward Tim Mayer and deputy Formula 2 race director Janette Tan.

Every episode, Scully is "right", but they show the comedic rush of the Illuminati-like group to patch up the cover-up as they're being investigated.

That's intense when you lay it out like that, and I just watch them on TV!

Alonso looks fast, perfect setup for a heartbreaking DNF in the race.

They should let Doohan do it for a few races and then rotate with Colapinto.

Quali and sprint on Saturday, Quali and sprint on Sunday would be good. Each sprint requires each car to drive though the pits at a certain point like a joker lap. "Grand Prix" goes to the overall winner.

Piastri lost the win at the first corner, I think even if Max had overall better pace it wouldn't have been enough to overtake under normal circumstances.

From there, in hindsight, the fastest strategy would have been to sit behind Max and push through the overheating Mediums. But Piastri and team had to try to go for the lead with an undercut because they're racers, nothing can be said against that.

With two mistakes overall, I think third place is the smallest penalty he could have gotten away with, it could have been much worse, and it was good to see the progress through the midfield.

Norris had to clear fewer cars to make his progress, but he did it well and had race pace meeting or exceeding Piastri's. Good to see them racing cleanly after the safety car.

Mortal Kombat (2021) opened with a great "feudal China with elemental magic" clan story that could have been an amazing movie, but then they jumped forward in time and everything after that was a let down.

It's a Formula 1 pole but not a Grand Prix pole.

For safety reasons, a tiny bit too fast in the pitlane was punished heavily.

Yes, that was to prevent people toying with the rules, and no matter what the speed limit is it should be heavily enforced.

But I agree we'll probably see more incidents and injuries given the close calls we've had so far. I'm all for increasing the limit as long as there are better protections around the people in the pit lane.

"Alright let's go, everyone in the T-mobile!"

Torvalds wrote git for the Linux kernel, and then GitHub popped up because most other projects couldn't handle the decentralization. Interestingly to OP's frustration, they were using a proprietary VCS before that, and people were just as frustrated about that: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git#History

You can still have a crisis meeting, with the agenda being "how to extend the crisis".

Congrats to Sara, regardless of the OBVIOUS BULLSHIT.

I wish there was an arrow pointing out the difference
