An underrated aspect of these new rules is how each track layout will throw a new power challenge and possibly churn the order. There was little to no variability in the last few years across tracks, leading to quali positions dictating race outcomes. Now, variability is built-in.

The only thing we’re missing from the 1970s now is disco.

OMG, that would make Marko real angry. Oh wait...

Look, how about November 7, 2028?

This, exactly.

How can he know that chassis is 5th fastest w/o the car having run in anger for any reasonable period? Just because it looks skimpy & clever? Pure delusion, that many intelligent people are often prone to. Honda messed up, but can't believe there is no impact of chassis design on engine vibrations.

"He was good at history... Good with dogs"

I almost fell off my chair.

"He was slightly difficult for other reasons."

How misguided can a euphemism be?

Can't ChatGPT be used to install plugins for a benign and democratic leadership to "Make [country] Great Again"?

Wait, you're telling me that is not how things work? Oh "ye of little faith".

The procrastinator in me feels attacked.

Oh your original argument was spot on. The west has never tried to "understand" the middle east.

Anyone saying "if you're against trump then you're for Khamenei" is equally partaking in the delusion. A regime can be absolutely evil & yet its decapitation is highly unlikely to be a panacea.

The "iterate and fail fast" process in startups, which DOGE was a great exponent of, doesn't work with nation states. Neither does the dismantle and disappear logic. To even think that a repressive regime in perpetual war mode wouldn't have a succession plan is delusion of the highest order.

That's the real nuclea.. Er... kryptonite.

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

The eternal relevance of this piece is remarkable, thanks to the human conditions called tribalism and narcissism.

The long 2010s are finally over

This, exactly.

There's never a day when I didn't hate the Mercator projection. I sound like a broken record? I know.

The world’s 280 million electric bikes and mopeds are cutting demand for oil far more than electric cars Electric vehicles get all the press – but it’s the smaller unsung two wheelers cutting oil demand the most.

NBC ran a piece where Mary Carrillo went to Norway to find out why they're so good at the Winter Olympics and i was yelling BECAUSE IT'S COLD THERE

then she went to a little tiny ski jump for kids and was like "it's free, equipment is provided, & they don't emphasize results"

and i was like.
oh!

Fantastic game, Team #Canada. It was a privilege to watch it. The energy was electric. Sorry for the result.

Happy birthday! It is always great to read your excellent deep dives into the numbers from the different teams and drivers, particularly because you make them so accessible. The MP4/4 model is fully deserved!

One thing that has always fascinated me about the USA. 👇🏻

Well, a typo resulting in a good thing is rare. What's not to like!

The Dow is over 50,000!

Puts the "safety car is too slow" lament from modern race drivers into perspective.

Brilliant.

Eagerly awaiting the inevitable Downfall bunker scene parody on the "DOW is 50000 dollars" episode.

Absolutely epic.

100% in agreement.

This is something I can 100% agree with.
