    Watched yesterday the Drive to Survive episode about Nyck De Vries and Daniel Ricciardo. It still feels to me that De Vries got the short end of the stick even though he hadn't impressed. But still. you can't pull the plug on the rookie after only 10 races. It did seem apparent that Horner liked...

    All this discussion about lifting the cap would have made sense if we weren't able to know Formula 1 history. The gap separating the field has shrunk over time and the current regulations have helped. I do suspect however that increased reliability is producing less variance in the form of less...

    News media has a negativity bias which reflects... human negativity bias.That's it. There doesn't need to be a conspiracy or an agenda to bury the Patriots. We are all just interested more in the negative stuff.

    actually, I may have read the message wrong and tire life IS better than expected which is a good thing.

    At least Saint is chasing Perez. Maybe LeClerc had a really bad setup?

    Grande Ferrari. They fixed the problem with instability only to discover the car sucks when it’s dealing with dirty air.

    Testing concluded yesterday and Ferrari did post some fast times. The most encouraging sign was that the car really does seem to be far more steady and less detrimental to the tires, so Ferrari seemed to be more competitive in terms of race pace.

    If I were Kraft, this is what I would have said about Deflategate: "The Patriots are accused of doing something they haven't done. Either way, we do not believe that deflating balls makes a difference in game outcomes. Since we cannot convince our accusers that we didn't do what we are accused...
