Great drive by Piastri, we never saw him on the race feed after the first few laps.

It was cancelled for a few years from 2020 due to the COVID 19 pandemic.

Hamilton's cackle over the radio was amazing.

Second for Kim Stanley Robinson, 'Aurora' is a standalone book about a generation ship that I enjoyed.

They make the LLM responses "warmer".

While it's great to have another ~Aussie (Aussie when he wins) on the grid, I feel like this is a slap in the face to Tsunoda.

Colapinto to Mercedes confirmed?

Wear ear protection, even if the cars are quiet enough these days that you don't think you need it. Sometimes the trackside commentary is available on a local FM radio station, and they'll sell overpriced radio headsets, so bring your own if you're interested in that.

This has happened in the past where the broadcast would focus on the "Formula 1.5" battle behind the dominant Red Bull or Mercedes, but it's a nice place to be.

 

Given overtaking is impossible for similarly matched cars and drivers can avoid pitting simply by driving slowly, what kind of event would you have for Sunday?

Best I can think of is an elimination style event: cars are released from the pits in reverse grid order with a 3s gap between each, and if you can stay within 1s of the car in front for a whole lap, that car is eliminated unless they're also within 1s of the car in front of them at the end of the lap (I guess the last checkpoint would need to be just before the pit entry).

Worst I can think of is a series of duels, where Kevin Magnussen is given an SUV and a 3s gap, and drivers need to successfully overtake in an F1 car within 1 lap.
