Brundle ‘surprised and disappointed’ by Wolff and Hamilton
  • Yeah, people keep forgetting F1 is a team sport and I don’t mean between the drivers, but the entire team. These 10 in a row is because the entire team made 0 fatal mistakes for this long and they did their job in the last few years to get the new regs right.

  • How Many Star Trek Episodes Pass the Bechdel Test? (TOS to ENT) | The Mary Sue
  • From the article:

    Another question I considered was whether to pass women talking about a man in a work-related (as opposed to romantic) context. There were times when it seemed like it would make sense with the spirit of the test—like passing Dr. Crusher and Nurse Ogawa talking about a collapsed male patient’s medical condition—but it seemed to open the door too much. Ideally, an episode would have more than one scene of women talking, so it wouldn’t be the determining factor.

    Part of why the Bechdel Test is so useful is that it’s such a low standard that it’s surprising that so many things fail, and it’s hard to argue there’s not room for improvement.

  • “Apple Music launches a Discovery Station to help you find new songs”
  • There’s this song from a Dutch band that I like, but when I start a station with it, I just know it will misinterpret the reason why I like that particular song and inevitably it’ll start playing random songs by Dutch bands.

  • F1: Charles Leclerc's new contract with a record breaking salary
  • I feel like I have to preface this with mentioning I’m a Max fan since 2015.

    I honestly think Charles might be the better pure race driver than Max, as in: one lap performance, overtaking, smarts in wheel to wheel racing. But Max is a long distance driver, which translates to him being better at winning races and even entire seasons. He seems much more involved with the team in getting that championship winning car than Charles, this might be more due to Ferrari though.

    In any case, I so much want Charles to get a great car, because ever since Silverstone 2019 I’ve wanted nothing more than to watch those two bang wheels for a couple seasons.

  • 2023 Belgian Grand Prix - [PRACTICE 1] discussion thread
  • Why not have a practice session on Friday, sprint in the evening using some sort of preset order, then another practice session and qualifying on Saturday? That way you really separate out the sprint thing for Friday and keep useful practice sessions for the actual important stuff.

    That preset order could be, same as qualifying last week, (reverse) order of the championship, whatever.
