I don't think Alpine are taking the right approach in their response to Piastri's news.
They've basically said he's contractually obligated to race for them...yeah that's how your going to get a driver to win races for you, tell him he's obligated to do so.
I agree with all of these points. They need practice competing against the top of the field, because they've been out of touch for too long and it shows.
Well, this Championship race is done. Congrats to Red Bull and Max Verstappen on the win.
Shame there isn't going to really be any battle for the finish line, but overall I'm happy with Max getting another championship under his belt.
Yeah I tend to agree with respect to the penalty needing to be larger, though the result of the action can't really be taken into account as it opens up all the over regulation nonsense.
The penalty should be severe enough to discourage the act, otherwise what's the point of the penalty. 5-10...
That looks like it's fine. If it bothers you that much, just go buy some silicon hose, cut it to length, and clamp it down.
Edit: or tape. Tape works too.
I recommend adding the Verus Turbo Heat Shield to your list, cuz it's hawt weather:

Yeah, he does use a Gen 1 B58. I'm not entirely familiar if there are any significant changes between gen 1 and gen 2 as far as that area is concerned. I'm sure somebody else knows more about how that area works.
I think the general message is that if you are gonna do the breather thing, there...
I would unplug your JB4 for the brake recall. Any electronics that are not OEM increase the risk of causing issues during the recall.
This includes 1 for 1, plug and play swaps. If it wasn't on the car from factory, either swap it back to OEM, or roll the dice.
New Intake and Charge Pipe installed.
The Intake sounds amazing. Had to uninstall the Verus Turbo Heat Shield because it didn't fit with the Intake's heat shield.
Also, screw that stupid bottom-half of the inlet pipe electrical connector.
I was barely able to pinch it in to remove it.
