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.

This is not confusing. AT ALL!

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.

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 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.

Can confirm Genovia doesn't a fuck about IUPAC and its naming conventions.

Ferrari's posters remain on point. And fingers crossed for a Ferrari win in Monaco.

Yeah, to me retirement seems like the most likely outcome if he leaves Red Bull.

You're not alone. Every Muslim thinks of Jesus as a prophet.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I was under the impression that it was set on the medium (C3). Is that not the case?

It was a fuel pump issue.

So is that 1m31.344 from Verstappen ominous or it's just preseason testing and times don't matter?

This is what I call wisdom right here 👆

Yep. He plays Frasier
