Aww yiss, these articles are some nice entertaining reading.
Good to see this graph reached its logical conclusion at the Austrian Grand Prix.
I'm considering moving to Debian Stable plus Flathub for graphical desktop packages like Firefox, it works well on the Steam Deck. SteamOS also provides Distrobox which helps in some cases.
Leclerc locked out of the paddock tomorrow after his pass goes missing
He's also saying it's worth more to him as cash than access to Mercedes for himself (I mean he's trolling either way but I'd agree with that)
The unbelievable part is that Alonso would leave the sport before making a comeback.
I didn't realise there was a restriction on this - what's the rationale for the rule?
Race engineers are replaced with LLM chatbots that have to run on a computer inside the car.
Upvote for calling out the ambiguity in the title:
- "Doom popularized some mechanics still used today" - this is not that.
- "FPS engines descend from ideas in the Doom source code" - this is not that.
- "id named their engines with 'Tech'" - this isn't that, Doom was before that.
- "Modern descendants of the original Doom engine can informally be called 'tech'" - this is what the title means.
...but you're always left with an unpaired Red Bull at the end of the cycle.
An alternate road would be great but it would probably be outside the principality.
It's like Formula 1.5 even in the silly made-up championship...
What is your preferred Monaco Sunday event format?
Given overtaking is impossible for similarly matched cars and drivers can avoid pitting simply by driving slowly, what kind of event would you have for Sunday?
Best I can think of is an elimination style event: cars are released from the pits in reverse grid order with a 3s gap between each, and if you can stay within 1s of the car in front for a whole lap, that car is eliminated unless they're also within 1s of the car in front of them at the end of the lap (I guess the last checkpoint would need to be just before the pit entry).
Worst I can think of is a series of duels, where Kevin Magnussen is given an SUV and a 3s gap, and drivers need to successfully overtake in an F1 car within 1 lap.
The way it's worded, it sounds like Albon let him off - not very good lawyering, but also poor from the FIA to not have their own firm stance, whether or not Albon agreed.
I hope Alonso at least enjoyed the food over the weekend.
