Would it blow your mind if I told you that Bug, the white and orange one is also a cockapoo and that’s what they look like without the curls..

Normally she isn't so curly but lockdown has made regular grooms more of a pain in the arse and she looks cute when she gets fluffy.

Would Yas Marina be better if they got rid of the second DRS? It seems like it was almost designed to punish overtaking.

Lolling that the 15 point penalty ended up costing Racing Point third in the WCC (and a couple of millions of dollars probably).

That was the penalty for the brake ducts right?

Seems like such a unanimous this race sucks among everyone... You'd think F1 would get them to redo the circuit. Like they probably have plenty of space, tear that poo poo out and put a new layout in that doesn't suck as much...

I think the course is actually on an island so it's pretty constrained in terms of space. That's the reason for the pit lane tunnel

Went to bed at lap 8, I made the right decision!

Well done McLaren on securing 3rd in the constructors.

Albon started to get better at the end of the year. Instead of going to the Red Bull Junior team he's probably out entirely. Hopefully he catches on somewhere.

I said it at the start of the season due to there only being 1 rookie, but just checking in at the end of the season now that a couple other drivers filled in.

Latifi rookie of the year? Yay or Nay?

Max had to wait for Bottas to hit rock bottom and for Hamilton to catch the plague to win a race.

Lance Stroll got a pole this year before Max did lmao

Max should drive for Ferrari.

Yeah, that's what I'm asking. Fittpaldi and Jack Aitken both could be counted as rookies. So of the 3, who stands out the most.

aitken certainly had an impact I don't remember latifi being nearly as critical to any race result. fittipaldi was mostly invisible to me both races.

Fittipaldi was notable for his lockups, which isn't what you're looking for in a driver.

Latifi drove the whole season out and there's something to be said for going the long haul, particularly in this season of all seasons.

My pick is Aitken. He came in on short notice. He did have some experience practicing in the car beforehand, but it's still impressive that he was able to put some pressure on Latifi in qualifying. He also put some debris on the track which may have ultimately kept Russell's wages low enough for the team to keep him.

Well I guess the lovely part of the course seems to be going around the marina section and they probably can't do too much with it... But then most of the circuit is surrounded by stips parking lots. So plenty of room to try and modify the circuit to be something different. And something different is probably guaranteed to be better...
