Nsutdwa Link ParentLovely, thanks for sharing that approach/philosophy."I often feel like there is a still small voice that says, "pay attention to this, this is your time." I try to be open to that feeling, and some of the most rewarding things in my life have come about because of it."
Lovely, thanks for sharing that approach/philosophy.

I always thought (think) that bulk buying was great for savings, but I'm too poor to have a home big enough to be able to dedicate serious space to food. Sure, I can stack a few bags of beans and a sack of rice, but unless I want to be walking around boxes on the floor, there's nothing else I can do.

But it was such a mess that I'm not at all sure of that.
I also can't quite believe he was the only one to be penalised of all those drivers pulling sketchy moves. I feel like he used up all his luck in his championship-winning years, because in the last few years, he's just not been #blessed. Verstappen just has blackmail material on every steward, I reckon - he's somehow totally untouchable in any serious way. I love the guy's focus/ruthlessness, but I hate how poor he is at hard-but-fair wheel-to-wheel racing. He's purely hard, not fair.

Maybe you get to be Federer, but perhaps you only got to play him, which is still a mark of being an excellent player for having made it all the way to that!

However, Norris seems fundamentally faster, although I think Piastri has better racecraft and is calmer (although I think his calmness is overhyped, frankly, he's shown himself to be vulnerable to pressure like almost everyone a few times this season). If Piastri can't win the championship convincingly, I'd prefer Verstappen complete what would surely be one of F1's greatest comebacks of all time and take his fifth in 2025. It wouldn't cement his inclusion in GOAT conversations, I think he's firmly there already, but it would be a mighty fine feather in his hat. And what a show! Just please let's not have an anti-climactic Mclaren driver dragging himself across the line.

Only Red Bull have a chronically underperforming second seat (ever since Verstappen really came into his own seeing off Ricciardo, imo) and Ferrari have a terminally upset Leclerc. It does feel like Leclerc is growing more discontented there and might be looking for a way out. And if you beat Verstappen at his own team... I feel like that's a huge "I Did It" stamp right there.

I think if Piastri can tough it out to the end of the season and wring out a championship, it'll be the most satisfying resolution. I really don't think he should have given way in Monza - I just can't see other past champions agreeing to help out their direct rival to undo a pretty routine racing incident. As that Reddit OP points out, the WCC has been well and truly secure for a very long time. Piastri should be laser focused - and if his direct rival has some bad luck, well, them's the breaks, hard cheese, crumbly cookie etc. etc.

I'm torn because I'd prefer both the McLaren drivers get real and get their elbows out - it's a WDC title and I find all this tiptoeing around rules of engagement "Papaya Rules" a bit sanctimonious, frankly. That said, perhaps Piastri simply was making the most of any means available to him and on the off chance that McLaren do force Norris to drop back, perhaps it's worth asking for... How many times do we hear drivers shooting off a pretty faux-indignant "Hey, did you see X do Y?!?!" message that is as much for the stewards as their actual team. I liked Piastri's image as unflappable, but it seems that when the pressure is really on, he's not that different. No iceman, anyway, given the lockups we've seen in his efforts to pass Norris in past races and flapped radio persona too.

Edit: perhaps my first question isn't very clear. Do you have some way of forcing your OS to not use that monitor for whatever it fancies in the moment but only the note (app?) you want it to display there?
I'm firmly in the "love it" camp, although I'm very sympathetic to the "hate it" crowd. But I also loved asking truckers to sound their horns when doing road trips as a kid. I'd frantically wave up at them, and if they saw me (and/or my sibling, also frantically flailing), they'd sometimes give us a few hoooooonks, which always made us cheer.
