Just like Kimi nodding off in the car.
I would be down for some cajun-spiced KFC right now.
DRS doesn’t even need to be used. Checo had the same advantage without DRS when overtaking Leclerc at Spa. Sailed by as if he had DRS anyway.
But the advantage goes away on low-speed tracks, and there’s a pattern of Max seemingly winding something up to pull out a fast lap so that they can still get pole. He will always have green or yellow first or second sectors, and then an absurdly fast final sector netting overall half a second or more over the rest of the field.
Microsoft’s implementation of the feature is called Windows Update Delivery Optimization.
Here’s a short optimisation guide: https://www.ctrl.blog/entry/windows-delivery-optimization.html
Fundamentally it’s not like the Bittorrent protocol, even though there are similar behaviours and the result is the same. Microsoft retains the ability to stop the network from seeding updates and has ways of only targeting specific supported configurations to receive new updates.
Ah, Russian boot-licking.
Although the statistic would be insane and likely never repeated in history, I don’t want Red Bull to win every race this year. Someone else other than Max or Checo needs to win for once.
Checo won’t be allowed to win anything for the rest of the year, IMO. If there’s a chance for Max to win, I think Red Bull will prioritise that.
This is the basis of the ASUS warranty issues recently when they had exploding AM5 motherboards and vague text about EXPO support voiding warranty, painting themselves into a corner when they only had unsupported firmware that would technically void warranty.
It doesn’t matter that the company says “Oh we won’t enforce that rule” but they still keep the rule in place.
Hungary in a sense is still old school - races are won based on sector 2 performance and tyre strategies. There are still overtakes thanks to DRS and the new aero design, but it’s still a battle against tyre degradation.
The on-boards with telemetry were very interesting. You don’t usually see the drivers slowly modulating the throttle out of corners, but everyone was doing it to extend the tyres.
The launcher isn’t really the problem, it’s the fact that Overwatch 2 isn’t making them any money!
We also don’t know what his simulator times were like.
If it works, then they can keep it and market it as a sustainability initiative (with benefits to on-track drama).
If it doesn’t, it’s just a test to see what happens.
That’s probably why digital displays still have analog speedometer options. At a glance it’s easier to tell what’s happening with your speed, rev count, and other levels like fuel.
But much of that utility is useful for manuals and ICE-powered cars.
Gran Turismo Online Daily Race A same energy. Sometimes Daily Race B too, especially this past week.
FTC really screwed themselves over building their arguments in the courtroom.
Right at the beginning of the announcement, Spencer appeared in an interview talking about it and started listing old ActiBlizz IP that the company owned, but did nothing with, saying that it would be cool to bring some of those franchises back.
There’s no way you can argue against that. Bringing more games to consumers was always Microsoft’s argument for the deal going through.
I’m on the Danny Ric hypetrain again. I can see the redemption arc leading to a WDC now…
The tyre testing is likely also driving to a delta, so it’s possible that Red Bull sees Daniel’s consistency and ability to keep to a delta and extrapolate what he’d do at full speed including his sim performance.

Mostly doesn’t matter because it’s a light fuel run later in the day after track evolution, and other light fuel runs from McLaren and Ferrari had similar performances to the RB20.
There’s still hope.
