A Sauber overtaking a Ferrari was not on my bingo card for this weekend

How Max kept that car on the road is insane. And as I’m writing this. Seems like people bumping into Max at the moments his car isn’t slipping…

Piastri driving very mature after putting in the work to make it possible yesterday.

To be clear, I’m Belgian and in favour of abolishing monarchy. But as the news about her is unavoidable: she did study at the royal military academy as all in line for the throne have too. Then she went to Oxford for her Bachelor degree. Plan was to get the master at Harvard.

The justification is partly elitism for those schools, partly getting exposed to other environments, and partly getting too avoid being to isolated in Belgian schools where the attention would be inevitable and security too hard.

It’s made intentionally hard though. Try buying The Expanse Blu Ray collection for example. Season 4 literally only comes region A locked, and is not playable on non modified Blu-ray players if you’re in the EU. I was excited to buy it after getting a decent Blu-ray player so I could rewatch it with my partner who hasn’t seen it, but something dumb like that does put a damper on things, so we haven’t even bothered with it, despite downloading it.

It’s really hard to say where Red Bull are as a team. Max seemed to be able to use the car as if it’s either the fastest or second fastest car. But Yuki had so many other teams’ car between him and Max. McLaren makes sense. But Ferrari, Mercedes, Williams and Racing Bulls?

This is again a race where Norris is reminding me of Bottas. So incredibly fast if he doesn’t have to overtake.

I agree their strategy is still abysmal, but the car is still obviously better. And getting lucky with a safety car is not strategy. (And every top team and driver gets this advantage from time to time)

I don’t think that this would happen this early in the season tbh. And if they wanted the race itself more interesting they’d red flag it for a restart.

Full safety car, so Max will not win. Probably Norris will take it now.

He flubbed that corner to the point he lost DRS while Piastri still had it. Maybe Piastri could have done an overtake in the round after that by being smart. But Yuki just drove poorly there.

Iny opinion it’s still interesting though. Might be less ‘fair’ but that has happened before and will happen again. Generally it evens out.

Hadjar driving the race of his life so far. Pit stops are generally done, and we’re in the latter half of the race and he’s in 5th. Hope he can at least fight off the Ferraris.

If it turns into a full safety car, it will make it easier for them to win though.

Yuki literally had one job today and he failed immediately. Let’s hope he can redeem himself.

I’m a Max fan, but seriously, that overtake should have everyone in awe. I can’t even comprehend how that worked.

I would agree that right now there are more choices. I don’t entirely agree they’re inherently safer. Nor that this choice would have been available as a choice when the original decision was made. (At a time when the US was at the very least considered to be an ally to Europe)

If you think security of infrastructure has anything to do with PGP you’re misunderstanding what I mean. Self hosting mail for an organisation like the ICC would require multiple FTE’s. In the same vein that the current US administration is retaliating against them other rogue nations are constantly specifically targeting them. It’s already hard to deal with this without being specifically targeted and a couple times being targeted usually causes you to be compromised, dealing with it full time is almost impossible. Unless your team is monstrously big and securing your groupware is one of your core activities.

I’ve literally had jobs like this, and the idea that the average university that self hosts is more secure than Exchange Online is just plain wrong. I’m sure you can point to a couple of them that are safer of course, but they 'll be the exception.

Which is why I specifically phrased the part you didn’t quote in that specific way.

Poor thing. I get that it’s hard to prevent some animals, like birds from doing it, but I wish there’d be better ways to prevent this sort of thing.
