Ferrari’s posters remain on point. And fingers crossed for a Ferrari win in Monaco.

Yeah, to me retirement seems like the most likely outcome if he leaves Red Bull.

You’re not alone. Every Muslim thinks of Jesus as a prophet.

I’m impressed Charles managed to make the one-stop strategy work. It’s a shame he didn’t do a better job in qualifying. He could have races Checo harder. Excellent race by Sainz. He seems on it this year. I hope he finds a good race seat. He deserves it.

On paper yes but David Sánchez and Rob Marshall have only just begun at McLaren. The evolutions of the MCL38 and the MCL39 will be the first to be fully developed under this structure. My guess is this year’s car was designed by Peter Prodromou.

McLaren does. Technically, they have had it since last year but it’s in full effect as of this season. They have Peter Prodromou as Technical Director, Aerodynamics; David Sanchez as Technical Director, Car Concept & Performance; and Rob Marshall as Technical Director, Engineering & Design. There’s also Neil Houldey as Deputy Technical Director, Engineering and Design.

A bit off-topic but, given the lap time that Max (and Charles) managed to put in this qualifying session, if the race is close, either of them might be tempted to get the fastest lap point and break Pedro de la Rosa’s record this year.

To me it’s encouraging the fact that Ferrari didn’t take a step back with the developments introduced last year. Little by little Fred’s influence is being felt. The strategy has improved and the number of errors have gone down. I’m less worried about them this year.

I hope Ferrari’s pace is strong enough to put up a fight. The data of the long runs suggest that RBR is stronger on the C3, but Ferrari is stronger on the C1, which over a race distance puts them even. It’s possible (and likely) that RBR have more pace in reserve, but the gap shouldn’t be unsurmountable.

I was under the impression that it was set on the medium (C3). Is that not the case?

It was a fuel pump issue.

So is that 1m31.344 from Verstappen ominous or it’s just preseason testing and times don’t matter?

This is what I call wisdom right here 👆

Yep. He plays Frasier

This made me think of Historia Civilis’ video about work.

¡Bienvenido!

Props to you for grasping the concept of wet bulb temperature and getting why it’s always lower or equal to the dry bulb temperature. It’s not exactly obvious why that’s the case.

I fell in love with that car the moment I saw it. The two-tone versions with the carbon fibre exposed are chef’s kiss

I’m also partial to Sync. It’s impressive how much of the UX was kept in making the transition to the Fediverse. I honestly can’t tell the difference between the previous Reddit client and the current Lemmy client

I used to think like this but now I realise that being in power is much harder than I thought, especially in the context of a democracy. Inevitably, in order to get something done, you usually need the cooperation of your political opponents, which usually requires to make compromises that you’re uncomfortable with or make you go back on campaign promises.

That said, I think I could do a better job than Trump since I think I could at least manage to not put myself in so much legal trouble.
