Also makes something like Battlestar Galactica and Andor more impressive when it remains exciting without a clear arc.

What do you mean? They have a plan!

Do you really want to compare Williams' record with that of Mercedes during the turbo-hybrid era?

I think it’s a reasonable indication of the advantage that Toto inherited at Mercedes rather than creating.

In 2010, a year after Brawn's championship-winning season, Mercedes finished behind Mclaren, Ferrari and Red Bull. In 2011, they again finished 4th in the constructor's championship. In 2012, they finished 3rd. Toto took over in 2013 and I think they did quite well for a few years after that. 

So did Williams, with a Mercedes engine once they switched to the turbo hybrids.

Well, I mean, he did oversee the development of one of the most dominant cars and championship runs in the history of the sport.

He was gifted that from Ross Brawn’s departure.

The ship in storage that must not be mentioned is absolutely the D. And I'm going to god damn lose it when she makes her big entrance.

 

I hate to say it, but I enjoyed it. If they’d just made this to begin with, we could have skipped all the hate-watching, and this thread would have sunk to the bottom after only 3 pages as nature intended. 

So much for creating their businesses, this episode is just an exercise in advertising. 

On Sky, when I chose to have it, I never took a deal for less than 50% off, including all channels and HD. I think at the time it came to £40-45. I eventually dropped it when I realised that Now TV was enough and probably saves me about another half.

And of course you don't get any of the live watch any driver type extras you get on Sky. I hate NOW TV but it's my only recourse.

They do have some of the onboards, timing screens etc, but they’re buried in some menu that you can’t find. 

Does Alonso hold the record for most overtakes after a race has finished?

That’s a nonsense penalty for Alonso.

The blood taken from the changling had no DNA or did I mishear?

 

Because it so - you have a simple way to work out who is real or not.

 

 

 

Wait 9 months?

Gene’s been a naughty boy. 

Steady on now, the last two episodes have been good, but most of the series has been fairly directionless.

Jesus, I didnt even realise til you said that. Guess that shows how much of a contribution that part makes.

Same, I hadn’t even realised until just now.

I'm on the verge of signing up for another month of Prime so I can watch along with the RLM guys. Is that stupid? I've only seen eps 1 and 2 so far and I fell asleep by the end of episode 2. I'm of course curious to see the whole TNG band reassembled but I hated season 1 and didn't watch season 2.

Paramount+ is probably cheaper?

Basically not really - the cost cap pretty much prohibits new developments, all the teams can do is iterate on the direction they’re already going in.

 

RBR played a blinder by spending so much money on sandwiches in 2021. The head start that those sandwiches gave their car will be almost impossible to catch up. 

Yeah, that sourdough really caused some sour grapes. 

Do the rules promote in season development to catch up now? Red Bull are massively far ahead. 

Sky switching to football half way through an overtake on one of their channels is a reminder back to the dark days of ITV and their adverts.

Or Alpine when Alonso left. 

It was never an option. They were sending him to Williams. 

Looks like Piastri should have taken a Williams seat. 

Are those solar panels in another country? I’ve never seen a single one.
