  • From my armchair, I’ve always felt like the engine isn’t a silver bullet for success. Having your own engine and building the car around it, getting every part working in harmony and the aero just perfect is worth so much more than the best engine in a mediocre car.

    But, I kind of get it… Renault just isn’t a functioning team any more and it’s really sad to see. Maybe this would be a step to some better results, but long term it will probably limit their growth.




  • I’ve stopped using cast iron after some experimentation. It has some uses, but none of which can’t be done equally well in a stainless steel or carbon steel pan.

    I find these respond to temperature changes better and so are easier to control. My big iron pan also doesn’t heat evenly enough, so extra care is needed to cook things consistently if it spans a wide area of the pan.

    I think the best place for iron cookware is for oven pots, not for hobs and frying.
