My whole house smells like weed, which I think is sweet. Mrs Bizzle, on the other hand, is paranoid as fuck that she's going to smell like it at work (she's a middle school teacher).
She probably will, and you both will probably be very nose blind to it within a couple hours.
MBS can fuck right off with his bullshit. His constant meddling is a black eye on the sport.
Michael Masi intensifies
I'm smoking weed about it.
Ok, just before starting lap 49 from P10 Nico radios that he has a puncture and thinks he hit the wall, the pitwall replies pretty quickly the pressures look ok. Right before he passes the pit entry he asks what to do and the pitwall quickly confirms the tire pressures are ok.
Out of turn 1 they again confirm good tire pressures and tell him after turn 2 mode push, which he says he is already in, and is almost immediately passed by Franco. They then radio about his Pit In button being on and he tells them he's tried to turn it off but it's not working, they tell him to press it again. About mid lap they radio that the car is all ok, 2 laps to go at the line.
The next radio comms are about the yellow/double yellow and he's instructed to stay right. He does but hits a huge pile of debris and reports it. The next sign board shows green flags.
He continues on and says it's going to be red flagged at almost the exact moment he's overtaken by Lewis and Oliver. A few turns later he again reports he hit something big, the team says they are checking the front wing, and the VSC comes out.
He immediately starts beating the steering wheel and radios something I can't make out back to the team. It's something like "man how have they not like?..... No way...." And the team interrupts him with "Yeah, swell. "
From there the comms seemed to all be instructions from the team on where he needed to drive and updates about how long is left in the race. Until- about halfway through the final lap Nico maybe talks, but there is no audio from him through the F1TV replay, just the team saying "yeah copy that Nico" and then telling him to stay close to the delta time. The only team radio from then until the checkered flag is delta and gap updates from the team, nothing from Nico.
The cool down and in lap don't seem to show anything, and the final audio is the team and Nico apologizing to each other and Nico commenting the irony being it was his best race there, etc.
I plan on watching the onboard shortly to see for myself but I'm assuming there will be talk about it if something happened.
Thanks for this!
Happy the mechanic was ok but maybe that release procedure needs to be looked at.
I missed this, I'll have to check it out.
Featuring this song for a bit because I think of it every time I'm smoking weed, which is always.
He seems closer to Lando pretty much across the board this year. There's certainly an argument to be made that they are the strongest driver pairing on the grid.
Team orders suck as far as competition is concerned. McLaren is also a hot mess when it comes to making decisions in real time during a race so maybe this will help them simplify things while they figure out how to run at the front again...
At the same time I hate it for Oscar. He's been doing an excellent job this season and it sucks to have your progress stamped out mid season for the benefit of the team.
The future doesn't look great for long term food availability if current trends continue.
I was already thinking that food availability was questionable before the big COVID ramp up and that was the last straw for me. Getting food items reliably, especially vegetables with actual nutritional value and whatnot, is something I have taken back control of from commercial farms and stores.
I would encourage anyone who found it difficult to obtain these things at any time to research quick and cheap methods of growing the things you value most. You'd be surprised how economical it can be and how low maintenance the right setup can be. Maybe it won't replace the items in your shopping cart right away but it can be a great way to supplement them while you learn a hobby you may have to depend on someday.
