Rudy Giuliani’s Daughter Backs Harris in Dire Warning on Trump
  • I'm not American, but I do hope that Caroline's message will resonate with the undecided voters or even some Trump supporters. I still can't believe he is being taken seriously by a large proportion of Americans.

  • www.formula1.com Norris admits hoping for bigger gap from ‘very fast’ Ferrari

    Lando Norris was feeling positive about his first day of running at the Singapore Grand Prix having ended Friday at the top of the timesheets, though the Briton admitted to hoping for a larger gap between himself and Ferrari after only narrowly beating Charles Leclerc.

    Quote from the article: >“Charles is very good at street circuits – we’ve seen in Baku, we’ve seen in Monaco what he’s capable of doing,” the McLaren driver said. “I’m sure he’s probably quite happy with his lap. If he wasn’t happy with his lap, I’m quite worried for tomorrow!"

    Breaking: FIA confirm decision on McLaren rear wing
  • I'm surprised FIA pushed McLaren to change their rear wing. I would assume FIA would take the same stance they took vis-a-vis McLaren's front wing. Still, I think this will make the MCL38 slower on the straights without DRS, and that's about it.

    2024 Azerbaijan Grand Prix - [PRACTICE 2] discussion thread
  • Nice comeback by Red Bull. They look genuinely quick here, especially Pérez. Hopefully, the four-way battle between RBR, McLaren, Ferrari and Mercedes is real. This is going to be a fun Grand prix.

    The Irony of 'You Wouldn't Download a Car' Making a Comeback in AI Debates
  • The problem with your argument is that it is 100% possible to get ChatGPT to produce verbatim extracts of copyrighted works.

    Exactly! This is the core of the argument The New York Times made against OpenAI. And I think they are right.

    2024 Japanese Grand Prix - [POST RACE] discussion thread
  • I'm impressed Charles managed to make the one-stop strategy work. It's a shame he didn't do a better job in qualifying. He could have races Checo harder. Excellent race by Sainz. He seems on it this year. I hope he finds a good race seat. He deserves it.

  • www.formula1.com McLaren announce several organisational changes

    McLaren have made another raft of changes to their technical department following the first three rounds of the 2024 season, with David Sanchez departing the organisation just a few months on from starting in his new role.

    “Following thoughtful discussions between David Sanchez and the team leadership, the mutual decision has been taken for David to leave the team.

    “Upon our joint reflection, it became apparent that the role, responsibilities, and ambitions associated with David’s position did not align with our original expectations when he agreed to join us in February 2023.

    “Recognising this misalignment, both David and I agreed that it would be best to part ways now, so to enable him to pursue other opportunities that will better leverage the full scale and breadth of his remarkable skillset.

    Alpine appoints three Technical Directors in new structure after departure of technical leads
  • On paper yes but David Sánchez and Rob Marshall have only just begun at McLaren. The evolutions of the MCL38 and the MCL39 will be the first to be fully developed under this structure. My guess is this year's car was designed by Peter Prodromou.

    Alpine appoints three Technical Directors in new structure after departure of technical leads
  • McLaren does. Technically, they have had it since last year but it's in full effect as of this season. They have Peter Prodromou as Technical Director, Aerodynamics; David Sanchez as Technical Director, Car Concept & Performance; and Rob Marshall as Technical Director, Engineering & Design. There's also Neil Houldey as Deputy Technical Director, Engineering and Design.

    2024 Bahrain Grand Prix - [QUALIFYING] discussion thread
  • A bit off-topic but, given the lap time that Max (and Charles) managed to put in this qualifying session, if the race is close, either of them might be tempted to get the fastest lap point and break Pedro de la Rosa's record this year.

    [FDataAnalysis] Ferrari made a massive step in race pace vs last year (~1.4s/lap), but the RB20 is the car to beat!
  • To me it's encouraging the fact that Ferrari didn't take a step back with the developments introduced last year. Little by little Fred's influence is being felt. The strategy has improved and the number of errors have gone down. I'm less worried about them this year.

    Ferrari made a massive step in race pace vs last year (~1.4s/lap), but the RB20 is the car to beat!🏆

    They had the same pace over a race distance However, Verstappen had minimal tyre wear (even on the softs!), indicating that he was not even pushing 100%😳 Crazy consistency👌

    2024 FORMULA 1 ARAMCO PRE-SEASON TESTING [DAY 3] discussion thread
  • I hope Ferrari's pace is strong enough to put up a fight. The data of the long runs suggest that RBR is stronger on the C3, but Ferrari is stronger on the C1, which over a race distance puts them even. It's possible (and likely) that RBR have more pace in reserve, but the gap shouldn't be unsurmountable.

  • www.the-race.com Ferrari's suspiciously good race sim is keeping F1 2024 intrigue alive

    The Red Bull RB20 is the slam dunk consensus pick as F1 2024's initial fastest car - but a race simulation by Carlos Sainz in the Ferrari SF-24 suggests the season is far from over

    The average of the timings of the race sims are off by 10s but Mark Hughes's remarks remain valid: the Ferrari was much faster than the Red Bull. It's obvious Red Bull is holding back performance but, how much? In any case, Ferrari might give Red Bull a harder time this year.

    Firefox for android doesn't connect to cloudflare dns using the DoH protocol

    I've configured my android phone to connect to cloudflare dns using the one.one.one.one server. When I go to https://1.1.1.1/help in Firefox for android, the page shows that it cannot use the DoH protocol, but Dot works. That wouldn't be too much of a problem but, since Firefox has rolled out ECH and it requires DoH, Firefox won't be using ECH. Is there a way to fix that. Thanks.

    P. S.: I should point out that when I visit cloudflare's dns help page chrome for android does use DoH.
