Avid Dallas Stars, Texas Tech, Formula 1, and Texas Rangers fan, I guess the cowboys as well but all they’ve ever given me is anxiety and trust issues.
Max se subió al auto en su último stint en la P2 a 6 segundos del líder y dejo a su equipo puntero con casi 28 segundos de diferencia.
Todo esto con tráfico y en la noche...
Termine como termine, si después de lo de hoy seguís dudando del talento de este tipo, sos un burro que no entiende absolutamente nada de este deporte.
El mejor de todos, lejos.

Minnesota fans boo-ing their own team in the playoffs because they can’t get the PP going should tell you everything you need to know about their fan base lmao. #TexasHockey
“What the f*ck is going on here? Like, do these people not know what the f*ck is going on?”
Tough look for the State of Hockey yelling at the refs for a delay of game.
Hey @stephenasmith. Open invitation to join us on @SPEEDonFOX for a proper debate on the topic. We can get you a ride in a 2 seat @NASCAR, or an @indycar if your thoughts extend to all motorsport. Maybe a sim sesh if your heart, lungs and neck hold out.
By the way “the Audi” that Max Verstappen was battling is veteran driver Christopher Haase, who is a 2-time Nurburgring 24 Hours winner & Spa 24 Hours winner.
After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.
I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.
It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC.
May God bless America.
I have never seen the F1 community so united. McLaren, Ferrari & Red Bull fans, Lando, Max & Charles fans to name a few all think these regs are total horsehit. The drivers & team owners agree. What the fuck have they done. It’s so bad!
The USS Gerald R. Ford is not parked near Iran. It is parked off Israel. And nobody is asking the only question that matters: why.
The $13.3 billion crown jewel of the US Navy, the largest warship ever constructed, just positioned itself off Haifa. Not in the Arabian Sea where the Lincoln sits 850 kilometers from Iranian shores loaded for offensive operations. Not in the Gulf where strike range is optimal. Off Israel. Defending Israel.
This is not redundancy. This is architecture.
Two carriers. Two missions. Two entirely different strategic functions. The Lincoln is the sword, positioned to launch strike packages into Iranian airspace within hours of an order. The Ford is the shield, its Aegis missile defense systems creating an umbrella over Israeli population centers against the retaliation that follows the first Tomahawk.
America just split its carrier doctrine into offense and defense simultaneously. That has not happened since the Pacific theater in 1945.
But the positioning reveals something deeper than tactics. When Iran retaliates, and every wargame says Iran retaliates, its missiles and drones fly toward Israel. They will fly through the same airspace where a US carrier strike group is now stationed. Every Iranian missile aimed at Tel Aviv or Haifa must traverse the Ford’s defensive envelope. Shooting at Israel means shooting at, around, and through an American carrier group.
Iran cannot retaliate against Israel without engaging American naval assets. The Ford’s position makes that physically impossible. The carrier is not defending Israel as a favor. It is positioned so that any Iranian response to American strikes automatically becomes an attack on American forces, triggering the full unrestrained weight of US military response without a single additional political decision required.
This is escalation insurance written in steel and seawater. If the campaign goes longer than planned, if munitions run thin in 7 to 10 days, if allies hesitate, the Ford’s position ensures that Iranian retaliation does the political work Washington cannot do alone: it transforms a limited American strike into an act of self-defense that no ally can refuse to support.
You do not park a $13.3 billion carrier where the enemy’s return fire will hit it unless you want the enemy’s return fire to hit it.
The Ford is not there to prevent escalation. The Ford is there to guarantee that if escalation comes, it comes on terms that make American restraint politically impossible and allied participation politically unavoidable. https://t.co/BrzGRrU3VW
