So far I have only seen Max and Red Bull complain. Which makes sense because they set up their car for a wet race.

The more relevant question is the thoughts of drivers who drove in the mid-field or end of the field. Because those are the ones who would be in danger, not Max Verstappen in P4.

I think they want to be especially cautious at Spa, given that this track is responsible for multiple deaths in recent years (Anthoine Hubert, Dilano van 't Hoff) and major injuries (Jack Aitken in GT3).

They definitely could try out more things in general though, like sending out the safety car to do reconnaissance laps on the conditions earlier. Apparently during the first lap before the start was aborted, a lot of drivers complained about visibility though so you can argue that they were trusting the drivers judgements.

We already had rainy races this year. But at a track like Spa, visibility problems make that simply not possible to safely have a race happen.

Red Bull yesterday really was like “we’ll optimize the car for a rain race although we know that rain races never fully get underway in Spa nowadays”

Austrian TV broadcaster. Sounded like it may have been part of the F1 movie score? Not sure. But definitely not the usual intro score.

Is that only my broadcast, or did the F1 intro just have a different music/score than usual?

If you run across a link with a regular “?utm_source=…” , that can not tell people anything about you. It simply tells the website “register one click onto this article coming from this specific newsletter we sent out”. It does not tie this information to you.

With other tracking things, what is described here is absolutely possible though.

At this point, FOM should know at which circuits sprints tend to work and which they don’t. Problem is that they use the sprints for commercial purposes at race weekends where FOM income is low, like in Spa.

Antonelli did an overtake after lap 1!

But yeah that was quite the procession. Good for the Haas

15th is a holiday in parts of Europe, could be that they don’t want to premiere anything on that date

Something like that would be awesome but if pribably way too expensive/risky to produce as an animated show. Could work well as a comic however

Yes, Paramount would get no new episodes to profit from, but they would still have the entire backcatalogue to profit from until the timeframe for this deal ends

They signed a streaming deal. Cancelling the show order would have no impact on that deal whatsoever.

“Her lawyer said that the sit-downs this week were Maxwell’s first opportunity to answer questions about what happened.”

I’m pretty sure that she was questioned by investigators during multiple investigations into Epstein over the years, including her own trial that sent her to jail.

Yeah that would be a quite silly situation

Thanks for the link to the full press image, Bruce! I grabbed a version of the image to post that I thought was the HD one without the Comic Con logo, but apparently it wasnt the best one out there.

Yeah but given how Toph’s metal bending school is portrayed in the comics, it seems to take an effort for earth benders to become metal benders. Which a teenager or adult would probably manage to do better than a child.

True, I didnt notice that but now that you say it

2027 at the earliest, I believe. Next year will have an animated movie featuring the original ATLA characters, and then this is the next announced project afterwards

Yes!
