Yuki Tsunoda should really get those cataracts lasered. I know why they've done it, but it's still funny having half the screen blurred out.

Mission Lose, Ow. God, that green is hideous. Ferrari are in Italy; you cannot tell me they can't find a single competent graphic designer in the whole country. (But then, there was that period when they had an asymmetric logo that only fitted well on one side of the airbox, but they bodged it onto the other anyway.)

That person's gonna have to change their Twitter name. Edit: maybe it's not a hideous logo. Maybe it's just a really unfortunate splat of flow-viz paint. Small Strange Bird fucked around with this message at 14:54 on Mar 10, 2021 |

I didn't know it was even possible to pre-emptively double down on something, but there you go.

99% of the supposed 70,000+ Mission Weknow employees probably don't have a clue what it is; more likely they got a global email one day saying "Congratulations! You are now a member of our exciting Mission Winnow initiative, a project to enhance our brand through energising synergies and leveraging paradigms." Edit: discovered that the "A Better Tomorrow" branding on the McLarens is the same marketing bullshit as Missing Window, just for British American Tobacco rather than Phillip Morris. ![]() Edit edit: bwahahahah. British American Tobacco posted:BAT’s multi-year partnership with McLaren is focused on accelerating our Transforming Tobacco agenda, at the heart of which is our commitment to providing a portfolio of potentially reduced-risk products (PRRPs), which can deliver a “better tomorrow” for our consumers.

Take the plunge! Okay! posted:I think 2013 Caterham wins with their lineup of Charles Pic and Giedo van der Garde. Actually, the 2015 Sauber lineup was a parade of nobodies. As well as van der Garde there was Nasr, Gutierrez, Ericsson... Only Sutil made any impact, and it was on Eric Lux's face.

It's funny how Brundle devolved from "quick-witted acerbic quipster" (I'm thinking how he and DC managed to keep the looooong red-flag period at Canada 2011 entertaining throughout) to "tedious old fart". The rot must have started when he took the Murdoch shilling and went to Sky at the end of that year. Random fact: Jeff Goldblum's character in The Fly was named Brundle after him. His son in The Fly II was called... Martin Brundle.

Of all the horrible countries with appalling human rights records that you could pick for a Grand Prix, Saudi Arabia has to be right up there with North Korea or Syria or the Democratic Republic of Congo. But they've got shitloads of oil money, so even without Bernie, F1 gotta F1. And the track looks like rear end. It may be a "street circuit", but there's gently caress-all actually on those streets. Even Valencia was at least right there in the port, but this is on a big stretch of nothing five miles from the city centre.

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?

I enjoyed the way the Racing Point meeting was edited so Big Daddy Stroll comes in all "You've got 30 minutes of my time, impress me" and then, because Netflix didn't want to bore everyone with engineering specifics, it looks like his underlings give him nothing but meaningless management blather. How long before F1 has all teams owned by evil billionaires giving racing seats to their failsons, I wonder? Small Strange Bird fucked around with this message at 18:38 on Mar 20, 2021 |

I liked the random unmotivated closeup in the Haas episode of the team overalls with the prominent Uralkali logo, even though it was ages at that point before Meatspin would be announced. Foreshadowing!

Yeah, Albon seemed like a nice guy, which is probably part of why RB canned him. They want either winners or ruthless hungry bastards (or both), and he wasn't being aggressive enough on track in what should have been the second-fastest car.
