if he didn't have a driver, he'd end up punting an old woman in a golf into some pedestrians within 10 seconds of starting the journey so it's for the best.

And Russell was just a genuinely great driver all along to come and beat Lewis in the same car?

The PR explanation if you choose to believe it is that while the car was complete poo poo Hamilton ran a bunch more experimental set ups to help the team which is why Russel trounced him in the beginning of the year. He got better over the course of the year and they ended about even but who's to say if it really was the setup stuff or if that was just a cover.

I assume Russell was trying to be safe/consistent for his first season vs. Hamilton wanted to win and thus had to take more risks with setups to even have a chance

I thought everyone in Mercedes has said several times that Russell was always driving the more ‘stable’ setup and Hamilton was driving the ‘development’ setup

Lewis may have run some different setups in FP1 but he was beaten by Russel because he was too busy having a paddy about RBR cheating with their floor

Word is Sir Lewis was so broken up about the cloud of skepticism hovering over last year's WDC that he decided to let Max run away with this one. This is what it means to be #blessed, heathens.

anyways if you guys are considering 512 gb vs 1 tb mac i suggest just getting the smaller one because what are you putting on there that takes up space? theres no video games or anything so you'll save a lot of money. the best deal right now is the macbook 14 pro base model. thats what i got . before you go refurbished or used of course. just be aware that i got the 20% discount black friday 'deal' 2 months ago when apple tricked evertbody into thinking the m2 pro was coming out and then juked but maybe it will drop more tomorrow

with SSD pricing as stupid as it is if you have any actual storage needs you're better off just buying a NAS.

I don't get why people (more specifically Mac users) are always holding out for even more powerful Macs when the entry level M1 was already so stupidly overpowered for like 99% of what I do. Is everyone running loving gene sequencing simulations on their MacBook airs and I'm just unaware about it?
