Did he actually sign the contract though?

Yeah without context on the numbers (like the time window) it makes the visualization instantly suspicious.

Having watched Clarkson's Farm I think he honestly went into the farming business to test and resolve his opinions on the climate. He still loves cars but uses the car persona to look at farming practices.

He's also saying it's worth more to him as cash than access to Mercedes for himself (I mean he's trolling either way but I'd agree with that)

The unbelievable part is that Alonso would leave the sport before making a comeback.

Eventually the line comes back in from the top.

I didn't realise there was a restriction on this - what's the rationale for the rule?

Race engineers are replaced with LLM chatbots that have to run on a computer inside the car.

Upvote for calling out the ambiguity in the title:

  • "Doom popularized some mechanics still used today" - this is not that.
  • "FPS engines descend from ideas in the Doom source code" - this is not that.
  • "id named their engines with 'Tech'" - this isn't that, Doom was before that.
  • "Modern descendants of the original Doom engine can informally be called 'tech'" - this is what the title means.

It's like Formula 1.5 even in the silly made-up championship...

Given overtaking is impossible for similarly matched cars and drivers can avoid pitting simply by driving slowly, what kind of event would you have for Sunday?

Best I can think of is an elimination style event: cars are released from the pits in reverse grid order with a 3s gap between each, and if you can stay within 1s of the car in front for a whole lap, that car is eliminated unless they're also within 1s of the car in front of them at the end of the lap (I guess the last checkpoint would need to be just before the pit entry).

Worst I can think of is a series of duels, where Kevin Magnussen is given an SUV and a 3s gap, and drivers need to successfully overtake in an F1 car within 1 lap.

I hope Alonso at least enjoyed the food over the weekend.
