History buff. Data nerd. Selectively social.
Alex Palou? Not the most impartial commenter, neither for nor against McLaren, is he?

I know right 😅 The trophy might be an inflatable tube man, with all the "flexibility". The jokes simply write themselves!

This, exactly. The narrative they're trying to craft is like scoring one over Drive to Survive in terms of sensationalism.

Sums up the Twitter-inspired social media in general, like you mention later in your thread.

Whoa, interesting! Thanks for the intro. I'll check out Chris' book.

@waitmanwbeorn.com one day you gotta push beyond your deep research into the Holocaust and write a book on the tribulations of the people of Alderaan or Tatooine. I'd read it. We can also have a session at We Have Ways Fest on the parallels with SWW.

That's an interesting take. Something akin to the double diffuser in terms of borderline legality. Not outside the realm of possibility, to be honest. Wow!

Yeah this is out of left field. TBH it has limited upside and more of a chance to burn both AM and Newey completely unnecessarily. Also, irrespective of age, this isn't a James Vowles to Williams TP scenario either. Vowles was strategy, very different from tech. TP is a highly political role.

Excellent point. This is just feeding it even more. Also it's weird how the "we're going to give it all to get to the top" vision clearly ignores the elephant in the room in Lance Stroll.

My dog is named Moose, so this deeply resonated with me.

Quite disappointing. I thought the "Yes" number would be way higher. Or maybe the respondents were faking it here as well?

Beautiful pictures. I love the Leh-Ladakh landscape. Also what a fabulous shot of the curious fox!

I mean, the Lego car was slow without the need for "lift and coast", and I don't think it had any power steering either. At this point F1 is just roasting itself.

Knowing Ferrari, they would probably tell Massa: "We're reviewing, we'll get back to you."

On the other hand, Briatore would cynically ignore the time machine.

100% agree. Such language often destroys "life as we know it" (which is another one of those cliches that gets on my nerves).

And Alonso. Twice came close with him, only to dither on strategy. Likewise with the in-season updates when Vettel was in his prime. Not to mention the 2019 engine fiasco.

Congratulations 👏🏻

Thanks Matt for telling us about drivers who came before my time watching F1 and weren't often in the limelight after their careers ended. Each one of them followed their passion, with many making compromises with other aspects of their lives. It's a great legacy, from each of these individuals.

Wow, harsh, but a clever observation.
