  • It’s a shame we won’t be able to maintain the title fight delusion anymore for the rest of the season, but this was a cold shower for McLaren - both literally and figuratively. Neither the race strategists nor drivers are of a high enough calibre, and it’s really a shame since the mechanics, designers and factory workers have been amazing. Trying to root for them this season has been so damn frustrating it’s starting to make me feel hostile emotions about them.


  • From what I understand they’re only present at a fraction of the races, and so the storylines they try to put together are heavily influenced by what races they were around to film at. I think if they’re here there is plenty of material about either McLaren throwing the title fight or Alpine getting a surprise double podium, but it would not surprise me in the slightest to learn that they were not here filming and this race goes completely unmentioned in the season.














  • Yeah but it’s not really the same thing years later when most people are long finished with the game. Was the same with playing BG3 around release last year, participating in conversations with friends and strangers alike about discoveries in the game as it’s happening and everyone is talking about it and playing it at the same time. I’m sure similar things happened this year with Black Myth Wukong and Silent Hill 2 Remake to some extent, though I didn’t play those.

    It’s not about spoilers so much as participating in the buzz and culture and community that only really occurs around release.

    This is all hearsay but I’ve heard said Carlos Slim is considering dropping support for Perez in favour of backing Colapinto instead. As we’ve come to learn during the Checo tenure, cash flow seems to be the only thing Red Bull cares about post Mateschitz.
