It's on the mid-to-high end you'd expect in the local area for software and engineering type positions. The only travelling I've ever had to do offsite is for presentations at universities etc.

While nice my dream job is still that dude with a little area of the Ducati factory who has to fixed all the engines that came off the assembly line hosed up

Is it actually a disadvantage for the drivers?

Based upon the evidence I've seen, drivers with screens on the wheel tend to score more points.

Replace the wheel with a 360 controller and maybe some of these rich kids might have a chance - worked for the US Navy and Droneforce...

I hate you motherfuckers so much.

I'm watching the new season of Drive to Survive and there's a suspenseful build up to beginning of the first race and I'm super into it and then Crofty says "Lights out and away we go" and it's all hosed RUINED because of you terrible humans.

What about the steering wheel inertia or whatever the gently caress smedley was talking about

In my inexperienced youth and being 6’2 I remember thinking what a brilliant idea it would be to get a smaller diameter steering wheel for my VW Scirocco with no power steering so I could more comfortably sit in it while driving. The very second I started to try and turn the wheel I realized what a loving idiotic decision I had made.

Holy poo poo did they fire Cyril Abiteboul because they thought he was going to make himself a Daniel Ricciado skin suit?

I know right, he always looks like he would rather be snowboarding.

I googled and yeh, his sister is marrying an Olympic snowboarder and all the non-F1 shots of Stroll are of him bombing down mountains on Skis.

DTS3's two biggest lols from me so far were that even the opening title of Bottas's episode was trolling him by making him literally the number two driver, and that until episode 5 I had completely forgotten that Ocon was still driving in F1.

Also, what the gently caress was up with Horner's Trump tan in the first couple of episodes?
