Hulk could've picked it up with that first start, it was wild but he ruined it in the second. Alonso masterclass as always. Merc... nothing to say.
Is Red Bull/Ferrari 1-4 dominance boring fans? 😛

swchr Link ParentEven the remakes I didn't enjoy as much as I did the originals. I suppose it's the fact I played the OGs on the Vita.

This says a lot about how Williams sees Sargeant. At this point... they should've just ripped the bandaid off and hired another driver.

Really hoping for better over the next few races. If Bahrain is like this.. I can't imagine how bad Miami will be

I think had Leclerc not had the issues with his brakes, he'd have kept the P2.What I found much more interesting was how Sainz kept on his pace.

Comment on Side projects that were actually good? in ~music
swchr (edited )LinkFor everyone who loves grunge bands Soundgarden and Temple of the Dog, and the post-punk/hard-rock Audioslave, the natural continuation of your music journey will be Chris Cornell's solo work....For everyone who loves grunge bands Soundgarden and Temple of the Dog, and the post-punk/hard-rock Audioslave, the natural continuation of your music journey will be Chris Cornell's solo work. Some of it is very side-project-y, in my opinion, but there are songs that, honestly, connect to me more than even some of the stuff he's done with those 3 bands. Have a listen to Steel Rain and feel Cornell's vocal work... shit's haunting. Can't Change Me is another one that's just... excellent. After Cornell's death, his daughter used some of his vocals and did a cover of Nothing Compares 2 U which is fantastic. To finish off, Casino Royale's opening theme, You Know My Name which is, imo, the second best theme in the modern James Bond era.
No one sings like you anymore, Chris.
edit: I just gave another listen to Can't Change Me, because I just realized there was a music video as I was writing this post and, wow. I don't know how to explain it, the harmony, the song changes as it progresses and it's just... so fucking good.
edit 2: i found this music video too... When Bad Does Good is incredible
edit 3: as a palestinian, I'd like to add The Promise to this long list
edit 4: can't believe I've forgotten Preaching the End of the World

These people are racers, and they'll push when pushed. It's going to be super interesting seeing these two as teammates, but Leclerc will not be moving to the sides for Hamilton, mate. 2025 is gonna be epic.

I mean, it all started with Will Buxton pulling an ol' Albert Fabrega with his "absolutely massive announcement" tweet. It couldn't be for real, no?
But every hour some new information drops and I really think this is for real now. What sealed the deal for me was the Sky Sports video confirming that the Brackley factory was told about Hamilton leaving. Apparently there'll be an announcement at 7pm GMT today. Let's see.
WTF

What a season. What an emotional ending to everything. I've spent hours scrolling on everything reading all the tributes, the posts, seeing the photos.. 2024 was fantastic. A guy can only pray 2025 will be half as good
