  1. I disagree. I think it's an excellent move by them, to get themselves up to speed on a design / aero strategy that actually works properly with the existing regs, and then work from there. They've essentially given themselves Merc's aero development budget for 2019 for the cost of a few pictures, the ACTUAL bits and pieces they were provided with (handily explaining the "insider knowledge" that Renault are insisting they shoudn't have been able to get, even when they had the very bits they're protesting in their hands for a full year) which they've no doubt been doing some heavily funded reverse engineering on in order to understand the how and why for themselves, and being a customer. It's not illegal. It's therefore allowed within the rules as they stand. Going forwards into next year I think they have a very strong platform from which to build, and a desire to get it right, which will stand them in good stead. They've also really never had the budget OR the results to get one of the great designers, or a designer with the equivalent experience and knowledge of the greats. Now, they have results. It's not as if they're stagnating, and the car isn't EXACTLY the same as a 2019 Merc. They've still put their stamp on it.
  2. As did Vettel for his 4, IIRC. But yeah, much better racing in general at the moment, apart from the Mercs just dominating. Norris with another last-lap overtake, and Le Clerc & Norris showing what real racing is with some brilliant driving. IMO the le clerc incident last week should also have been attributed to Vettel. He was in the middle of the track, left a gap wiiiiiide open and then turned into the apex as if he had nobody else around him. Yes, Le Clerc should have waited, but IMO the gap was there and by the time Vettel had turned in, Le Clerc was already there. But then that's why it's a racing incident instead of a penalty.
  3. Is this question really necessary, SK?
  4. Ja. Sometimes there are "exceptions" though. If you get more, you get more. If you get less, question it.
  5. I think in general life itself is just more chilled, allowing families and people to concentrate on what's important to them. Professionally, personally and spiritually. Like the difference in mentalities between a drunken lout, and your average MJ smoker after a few puffs.
  6. those are the ones. Don't they race them in a crit series?
  7. Yup. Big difference over there. Why the hell not save energy on your commute. You get to the office / school / shop faster on your wagon, and with less sweat. Could even push more professionals to commute in as a result of that. If I were in Nederlands I'd probably be piloting one of those carrier-bikes so I could grab the shopping and put my laptop / work / gym bag on it without it being on me.
  8. HAHAHAHA "speed" erm, yes. But how much. Faster faster would be better
  9. Yup. Assguy lives up to the same levels and maybe has the edge in some situations (saves me more in some places, still not sure on roots)
  10. https://www.facebook.com/myles.mayhew/videos/10163802251755133/ Teaching my lightie how to jump. Timing is everything, as he's learning. Also doing some flatland skills training, but ramping is the easiest first thing to learn and all kids wanna ramp $h1t.
  11. Drumpf thread. Only 14 pages vs 43, and a similar daily post count, I'd imagine
  12. eh, maybe he's one of those people that likes a little beating...
  13. Phone them and ask. I'm sure they could arrange something for you.
  14. It was, but the soundtrack was horrendous. Almost every track felt out of place with the tone & context of the scenes they were attached to. I was into it and then all of a sudden the song would rip me out and I'd wonder exactly what sort of movie I was watching... A bloody nice shoot-em-up or another Step Up, High School Musical or Pitch Perfect movie.
  15. Missing Link trail?
  16. I'm gonna go PS5 when it releases, or at least when the first deals become available. It'll look lekker next to my XboneS.
  17. not really. If it is you can get an external monitor later on. The 144Hz monitors offer slightly smoother (noticeably) performance, but the video card is actually more important than the screen refresh rate. The 1660Ti will be more than good enough to hit great performance at 1080p.
  18. This time it's about the brake ducts, because Merc stopped supplying them with the ducting for this year, so they're apparently adapting old designs in or redesigning theirs now.
  19. Another excellent results for Norris!
  20. Meh. Hoped it was the older 200x57 version. Good luck dude.
  21. Here to save you. It's called a yoke. If you change it you can legit call yourself a yokel. @Tim I also have an Rs Kage coil shock with a 600lb spring in excellent condition, if you wanna buy the yoke and open up a world of aftermarket options later on.
  22. I have no choice in the matter, believe me. A soft dirt kith...
  23. In this case, the Fox did not say this...
  24. Urgh, that sucks, Tim. Sorry to hear that.
