    It’ll be amusing if Lawson does better in the Racing Bulls car than he did in the RB. Or if he does better in the Racing Bulls car than Tsunoda does in the Red Bull.

    I don’t think it’s impossible that Perez was not slipping - the problem is instead that Red Bull actually has bad (or idiosyncratic) cars, and Verstappen is just so good he can still win in them.



  • We learn that Alok was born in the 20th century, and fought in the Eugenics Wars against the augments before being captured and made an augment himself. As per SNW, we know that the Eugenics Wars didn’t begin until the early 21st century.

    This kinda got me - I assumed until now that the Augments were genetically engineered from conception, not ‘augmented’ afterwards. I wonder if there’s anything to support this elsewhere?











  • I think the success of features based on calculated track position - like DRS and the Virtual Safety Car - proves that the time has come for Mario Kart style power-up cubes. Project them onto AR displays in the drivers’ helmets, and show them on the TV feeds.

    • Mushroom allows the driver to cut corners and speed over track limits.
    • Squid ink appears in the field of view of all other drivers’ visors.
    • Verstappen gets blue-shelled and all his power cuts out until he’s stationary!
    • etc.

    Call me crazy, but I think in 10 years time you’ll be looking back on this post as prescient.
