I’m so glad they’ve filmed it… I read the graphic novel last year completely at random (someone bought it for my daughter & I thought it looked interesting)… still, it seemed quite obscure & I couldn’t believe it when I was listening to a movie podcast and a review of it came on. It’s a great story and I can’t wait to see it on the big screen.
This, but since 1990. 4 notable dominant periods since then (Schuey, Seb, Lewis & now Max), but I’ve never stopped enjoying it. The dominance never lasts forever. Focus on the midfield & there’s always entertainment to be had.
Get an VPN & F1TV… I’m in the UK but I refuse to give a penny to Murdoch & the channel 4 coverage is compromised of course.
Getting F1TV has completely revolutionised my F1 watching. Being able to watch easily, with time shift if needed, & no streaming stress. The commentary is even better imho (though you can choose the Sky feed if you miss Martin & Crofty). The pundits are better too. And you can watch any in car view at any time. It’s worth every penny.
Totally. Had the shoe been on the other foot he would be saying that it was ‘just racing’.
The other angle I haven’t seen suggested here is that this is a forward-looking insurance play from Horner. At the moment RBPT are winning off the back of development work done by Honda in previous years. Nonetheless, they are new to the engine game and there is likely some substantial concern that when the next engine regs come they will be left floundering.
By backing the equalisation they give themselves precedent to demand the same again a few years down the line if RB engines fall behind the pack. They are likely very confident in the rest of their current package, to the point that they can risk making the current situation more competitive in order to guard against future disaster.
I don’t especially like Horner, but I think it’s hard to argue that he’s anything but an excellent team principle, possibly the best on the grid. If he’s doing this there is zero chance it’s for altruistic reasons - there is a play for RB here somewhere, it’s just a case of figuring out what it is.
