Mercedes would do handstands to have Verstappen says Wolff

Max and Newey to Merc. Keep sowing the seeds of defection, Toto.

Having just seen the race today, I can safely say the purple and red Pramac Ducati is the best looking bike on the grid

I wonder if Pramac is going to be an Audi sponsor when/if they join F1. would be a rad livery. Makes sense since they keep teasing some link with F1 and Audi is linked with Ducati.

Constructors championship will be kind of nuts if the top five teams continue to get 99% of the points. Haas is currently in 6th place with one point and there is a four way tie for last with zero points.

More funny to me will be how long Bearman stays in 10th.

So far it is looking pretty dire - the top five teams are *clearly* in a league of their own.

Nap report: I wish I had committed sooner, but lap ~32 to ~48 wasn’t a bad power nap. If it was anything but hoping Norris might get a safety car I’d have slept sooner.

Cant argue with it being a good race for a nap post the stroll incident.

More Saturday races IMO since midday naps don’t ruin my whole week’s sleep schedule

Since I don’t want to post in AI I bought a Manual 2010 is250 as a beater because my 86 GT is gonna be a more dedicated track car.


It is funny that despite having 2 more cylinders and 500cc more displacement the Lexus makes the same power. Much quieter and more refined though. And not too floaty.

F1 needs less money in it so it can be like IndyCar, where drivers can be sponsored by the Bon Jovi radio channel on SiriusXM, or NASCAR, where there’s going to be a race called the Call811.com Before You Dig 250

To be fair the call 811.com every dig every time 200 is xfinity series and there's nothing stopping F2 from going nuts.

Turned over to watch Arsenal around one third through and half time had the last couple of laps and enough conversation after the race before I turned back. Don’t think I missed much.

Just saw footage of Sainz walking into the garage, he very much looked like a guy who's just had his appendix out, little steps walking like an 80 year old. Doctors apparently didn't want him out of bed, guessing he's cruising around on some slow release oxy's or something.

Nice, I've fitted the PP brembos to my 86, alongside TRD engine/gearbox mounts, diff inserts and an oil cooler. Looking to get out on track next month with it. Did also buy a set of KW coilovers but I wanna see how well it works on the standard setup first before I start going down that route.

Funny thing with the brembo setup is that the rear rotor is specific to the 86/brz but the front is shared with a bunch of STi's and I found the brembo pn for them. Except the place i ordered them hosed up and sent me a set of front rotors that are the correct size but they were 5x114.3 rather than 5x100 so somehow they sent me a part that was one number off the one I wanted. Luckily I'm getting someone to re-drill these ones.

Also I like that every oe part I've ordered including the TRD bits has not had a single toyota logo on it, everythings been marked Subaru

Verstappen was up til 4am the day before the Grand Prix playing iRacing, where he was kerb stomping other top tier sim racers in rainy GT cars whilst using a loving xbox controller instead of his usual sim rig.

Barring a mechanical problem or Perez doing an inhuman amount of blow before every race he's going to get a clean sweep.

Albon will probably find some points throughout this season, I feel like he's close. Sauber, Alpine, other RB and Sargeant are looking dire though, I agree.

Currently plausible scenarios in which Verstappen’s dominance of the sport comes to an end:
1) RBR fucks up the 2026 refresh and other teams decline to hire him for some reason? Unlikely
2) RBR collapses entirely and he leaves for a worse team, but RBR continues having a dominant car? Also confusing, unlikely
3) His psyche finally collapses under the strain of only trying to race all the time. Increasingly likely

Makes sense to sort his sleep schedule out so its not surprising he was on at 4am.

Honestly would not be surprised if it turns out that Max is neurodivergent and racing is his special interest/comfort zone, which would make this outcome all but impossible. It really does seem to be the only thing the dude cares about.

Not big on luxury cars but I do want to get a Lexus at some point, they seem to really focus on refining the ride and build quality rather than outright performance and tend to be a little under-appreciated as a result imo
