Racing is life. Anything before or after is just waiting.

@tennisweeklypod And then there's the guys that want to give every past champion a wild card. Comes to the point where you get 80% of the main draw filled with 40 and 50 year-old has-beens.

Nobody has earned anything unless they have the ranking for direct entry.

[Bernie M. @BM_SC_t]

@F1BigData So what were the actual top speeds compared to last year? I must say I don't really care, if they reach top speed early or late on the straight. It might feel odd, but it really doesn't make a difference.

[Bernie M. @BM_SC_t]

@jon_wertheim Players asked for 22% of revenue. If this is 15%, they need to increase it by 47% for next year to meet that number.

@1gamesetmatch Gauff lost her last 3 matches on grass (against #17, #42, #49) and her last 3 wins are against Dolehide, Todoni and Kartal (#51, #142, #298). How on earth does her ELO rating survive that?

[Bernie M. @BM_SC_t]

@the_zb_ Then I'm getting suspicious that they wanted to give Mercedes the opportunity to gain back what they're losing with the reduction to actual 16:1 compression.

[Bernie M. @BM_SC_t]

@BungerNation @cytrusf1 Then they need to measure the shortest distance, not an average one around a corner.

[Bernie M. @BM_SC_t]

@GenesisCOffishl ...and nobody has seen the data that it's based on.

[Bernie M. @BM_SC_t]

@F_FantasyHub But then there's a lot of people who glorify the 80's when there were more DNFs than finishers.

[Bernie M. @BM_SC_t]

@aManFromSweden I'm convinced there's hundreds if not thousands of videos of 7 year old's saying the same thing, but nobody digs them out, because why would anyone, if they don't reach #1?

[Bernie M. @BM_SC_t]

@cytrusf1 That's not superclipping, but any form of recuperating.

[Bernie M. @BM_SC_t]

@cytrusf1 Also ... bear in mind that everybody has straight mode at the same time, so it doesn't make racing any better, it just makes the cars run more efficiently. And they didn't need to in Monaco.

[Bernie M. @BM_SC_t]

@cytrusf1 I can imagine because you can see what's happening here, and the kink at Monaco goes around a blind corner - meaning you might have to take evasive action quite rapidly with no downforce available - not a good idea.

[Bernie M. @BM_SC_t]

@audiolympics The real order is...
1 Ferrer
2 Okker
3 Tsitsipas
4 Berdych
5 Roche
6 Davydenko
7 Rios
8 Nishikori
9 Solomon
10 Corretja
11 Ruud
12 Tsonga
13 Ramirez
14 Rublev
15 Dibbs
16 Gottfried
17 Raonic
18 Nalbandian
19 Dimitrov
20 Martin

@jon_wertheim How is it sound public policy in the US when huge class action suits with thousands of victims are settled without a verdict?

[Bernie M. @BM_SC_t]

@TennisPublisher David Ferrer. From the active ones it's Tsitsipas (all recency bias aside).

[Bernie M. @BM_SC_t]

@mamboitaliano__ Why is she walking around in underwear?

[Bernie M. @BM_SC_t]

@Gill_Gross @TNTSportsPR So, where do her rpm's rank? Because speed alone doesn't mean anything in terms of weight of the shot.

[Bernie M. @BM_SC_t]

@formularacers_ They haven't brought any performance updates so far on purpose, so it was to be expected that they will drop back further. I would expect the progress since the 1st race to be about 0.5-1s, so they would be mid-field even with the weak engine.
