Looking forward to binging this. Although in the past I found the artificial drama and manipulated truth cheesy, I still appreciate the production value and content as I would any other video these days.

rpiian commented on the post, Russell's Mercedes chance was 'horrible timing' for Hamilton's contract negotiation – Webber 3 months, 2 weeks ago
Russell drove brilliantly, no doubt. One can’t deny Bottas had a poor start & bad race. Perez won the race on hard tires two laps older than Bottas’s. But you overlook the fact that Bottas had his 21ish lap old […]

rpiian commented on the post, Hamilton to finally start 2021 contract talks with Mercedes "in the coming days" 3 months, 3 weeks ago
I’m in the same camp. Perez is an end user – not the head engineer. But, at least he can provide feedback on drivability, how the power levels are deployed, what settings they had, etc.

@petebaldwin Agreed, Stroll’s done an OK job for not having the raw pace of others. I did guffwah during the Sakhir GP at the moment when he “went a little deep” on his braking point after pitting, in the battle […]

So happy for Checo. Been waiting for his win since his scrappy Sauber podiums in 11-13.
Bottas should have bagged this but Merc fubar’d his race. We were stripped of a fair fight between Russell and him on t […]

Also felt this with my two boys. Truly sickening to think about.

Same here. Wish him the best in his recovery. What a terrifying experience.

rpiian commented on the post, Signing Perez for 2021 not a "no-brainer" for Haas 6 months, 3 weeks ago
I’d have to agree. His former Ferrari ties don’t hurt. His past drives, tire management and scrappy race results speak for themselves. One of my favorite drivers. He’s been pretty unlucky this season, and should […]

I agree except for one thing, the Ferrari Driver Academy. I’m going to assume one is enrolled/inducted on merit, I don’t that one can buy their way in. The fact that Perez was a part of it for a bit makes him mor […]

To me this is less gimmicky than the “balance of power” in Le Mans or other sports car series. Much simpler. I wouldn’t mind seeing two back to back races in the middle of the season with this format, to have […]

I’m not sure Hamilton cares what the FIA thinks. Just wearing it and everyone commenting on it is doing exactly what he wanted. More awareness about the injustice in this world.

rpiian commented on the post, Attempt to slow Mercedes with 'quali mode' ban has had opposite effect – Russell 7 months, 2 weeks ago
This is an interesting one. Qualifying modes must really chip away at the lifespan of a power unit, for them to make these claims. Kinda makes sense though faster speeds require exponentially more power in a lot of scenarios.

On the contrary, 2022 will bring opportunity with the new regs, and it sounds like the new company is digging in for the long haul.

Holy smokes. This is a moment for the history books. Being that Claire was so bullish about her tenure in the past, and the Williams legacy, it is kind of a surprise, but reading thru the thin veil it was […]
