Yeah I think Piastri is going to make a strong case for the lead McLaren driver if Lando keeps making mistakes. Looks like Red Bull might just struggle for race pace because of how hard it is on tires. Same thing happened before the safety car last weekend.

Just watched practice for Shanghai. Looks like tire degradation and management is going to play a big role, which bodes well for McLaren. Ferrari notably look better and Hamilton also seems to be getting more comfortable with the car.

Sim racing has really helped in getting braking technique down. It really helps in keeping sharp during the PNW winter months for me.

I'd give Lawson some more time since he hadn't ever done a lap in Australia prior to this weekend. He definitely would've benefitted with another year at the junior team, but I don't think Yuki would be doing any better. By this point, it's pretty clear the second car needs drivers who prefer...

Been a hot minute since I've been on the forum, but picked up a Garmin Catalyst for $100 out of pocket (and some crafty usage of work perks). Now waiting for some good weather to actually go to the Ridge to see how it goes!

I see a couple in downtown Seattle every so often. But not too many -- they're not that common in the winter months with it being cold and rainy.

You do realize he was saying this regarding tire changes under red flag conditions right, not about Max's drive? The media had a field day framing his quotes for sensationalist journalism. Lando Norris reacts after Max Verstappen shock F1 win in Brazil: ‘It’s not talent, it’s just luck’ | The...

Agreed there, brilliant drive by him, and benefitting from some good luck on the safety cars, red flag, and other teams' strategies. This year's WDC is virtually over. I think Lando needs the winter to sort out whatever thing he's got in his head and clean up his mistakes if he wants to contend...

It's good but hasn't been "open 20 seconds in ~10 laps good" like the RB19 was especially at the beginning of 2023. I think it's going to be a proper McLaren vs Ferrari fight for the constructor's next year. It's possible they sandbag for 3rd for more aero time since none of their upgrades...

Not directly Supra-related, but drove some cars via Turo I would cross shop with the Supra while attending a friend's wedding. C7 Grand Sport and G87 M2 (both stick). The C7 definitely makes for a better GT car than the Supra with how good the Magneride suspension felt in touring and even sport...

Damn what a prediction! These last few races have told me exactly why Lewis is jumping ship, and I think Vasseur has put a lot of the silly strategies in the rear view mirror. I'm expecting a rule change coming at some point, definitely for 2025, changing how "controlling" the corner is...

I was in Hawaii this weekend, and they get the short end of the stick honestly. Both the race and football were pretty early Hawaii time.

I kind of think Colapinto's performances are really making Audi reconsider their options for the second seat; Bottas seemed to have been the front runner, but Colapinto's performances, age, and probably lower wage demands really would make them think if Bottas is the best long term option.

The winter could change a lot, but I get the feeling that Mercedes are looking ahead to 2026 with the new regulations, and the Newey aero impact will also be more pronounced in 2026 than 2025, given 2025 development started before Newey even signed for Aston. Red Bull should drop Checo, since...

It appears to me attackers tend to be on the wrong side of "forced another driver off track" due to how entitlement of space works. On the turn Lando got the penalty, I saw a lot of simplistic arguments on reddit saying "Max was ahead at the apex and isn't entitled to leave space", but watching...

weird, never had that happen on track

He's so much better than Yuki. Yuki's overrated imo. Still making simple mistakes in his 4th year. As for the race, as usual, stewards turning a blind eye to Max forcing Lando off twice

Also, your definition of fun here is very subjective. I felt the GTR to feel way too safe, like the car's computer was driving it more than I was, and that's the same feedback I had from a few Supra owners who moved into GTRs after.

How? The GTR is like 3900 pounds, and the auto 3.0's are 3400. Manuals are roughly 100 pounds lighter than that. I've driven a GTR and a C7 Z51 package (roughly the same as a Supra) on track and can definitely feel the weight difference.
