    I just had another thought: even if Lando pitted when the others did, there's a really good possibility that he still would've ended up in third if the team wasn't ready for him and they had to scramble getting the tires. But who knows?

    Very true.... But like the others did, he would have caught safety car with the others, yes in third likely , but tires warmed (not like later spinning in the wet coming out of pitlane trying to beat Verstappen) and with the better car.

    Your first instinct IMO was right.

    It appears that Eddie Jordan negotiated a deal for Adrian Newey, who has signed a 3 year contract worth $105 million with Ferrari.

    Red Bull is toast.

    I agree - red Bull might survive 2025, but from 2026 onward they're done without Newey.

    Le Mans is this weekend!

    Speaking from memory, rather than research, I believe there's a bigger variety (and maybe volume) of top-level cars than ever before.

    Right now the top level is the LMH, aka the "hypercars" - and they look incredible.
    Regards,

    You need to get rid of that 6 image limit, Duncan.

    And why must I wait 30 seconds between posts?

    Hey! Check out what I just discovered:

    Le Mans is being streamed on (HBO) Max, via the B/R sports add-on. I assume it'll be ad free.

    Yes. God bless motortrend and putting all 24 hours on TV.
    Please don't ask questions, just use google.

    I watched a lot of it - including the start, the finish, and several hours through the night (goo to have something to do when you're an insomniac!)

    Great race, IMO!

    I get Motortrend free with my YoutubeTV, so it was easy to pick up.
    Regards,

    Duncan

    Once again, we see where the punishment doesn't fit the crime and Toyota got fucked.

    The #51 Ferrari spun the #8 Toyota around and got a 5 second penalty. The problem with that? The Toyota ended up 45 seconds back.

    Hard for me to say it was a great race when the majority of the nighttime was washed away behind a safety car.

    I'll admit I did miss the end which did sound like fairly good drama, but a great race needs more than that IMO.
