Can someone explain to me why wind turbine blades do not have an abrasion resistant leading edge (other than allowing them to slowly erode, BY DESIGN, in order to profit from the monumental maintenance costs)???

@BremboBrakes To those criticizing Brembo's performance in F1, teams other than Ferrari use Brembo, and they seem to do just fine.

@messedupfoods I think it would be best to demand better wages rather than better tips.

@TMTinkerer @engrfix1 Electricity travels through volume, not surface area.
I could be wrong. Electromagnetism is not my area of expertise.

[S. Costello @Lva_Sc]

@RinkusSharon @handleitgrips That's interesting. Most people, myself included, prefer a rougher grip.

As long as I can access the mag release without impacting my grip, a rough texture works best for me.
On the the other hand, if it's too rough, it can impact one's time, especially with gloves.

@jaynemesis @cytrusf1 It's not just about the number of GPs held.
Monaco has more appeal than Hockenheim. At least it does in my opinion.

[S. Costello @Lva_Sc]

@ESPNF1 There's not too much else to praise, to be honest.

(I will get burned for this comment)

@leog68 @handleitgrips A single stack is just not acceptable nowadays for such a size and weight, in my opinion.
A Glock also feels better in the hand.

[S. Costello @Lva_Sc]

@RinkusSharon @handleitgrips I find the Glock to be more ergonomic.
It fits my hands like a glove, plus there's the extra capacity.

But for other people, maybe the 1911 has a better feel to it. The weight also helps with recoil, especially as the mags get emptier. A Glock is relatively light on low ammo.

@primerelic It beats 10 Luces. That's for sure.

@ListerLawrence It's a Jaaaaaag.

@TotalMotorcycle I've ridden several 2-stroke bikes. I am now in the market for a 200-300cc.
I will only buy a 4-stroke with the intention of turbocharging it.
The power curve of a 2-stroke has great appeal, in my view - something that can be partly replicated with a turbocharged 4-stroke.

[S. Costello @Lva_Sc]

@jaynemesis @cytrusf1 I hear your point, but I think that an exception should be made for Monaco.
It's a venue with a lot of history.
Qualifying makes up for the lack of action in the race, in my opinion.

@36F5VE @wayne_m159 I thought it was the product of a tasteless, mod company such as Mansory.

[S. Costello @Lva_Sc]

@FDataAnalysis @ScuderiaFerrari @Charles_Leclerc @LewisHamilton @redbullracing I wonder if it would be beneficial to play chess with torque output in order to remain in deficit.

If your chassis and MGUK are good enough, why gift ICE development to your rivals?!

@georpap2013 @wearevibin This is what human expression has been reduced to!

[S. Costello @Lva_Sc]

@there_is_no_if No. I meant the opposite.
I meant that he should motivate the team -increase positivity.

[S. Costello @Lva_Sc]

@critical_codger @TotalMotorcycle It's a good point.
We didn't see turbos back then the way we see them now.
It was the new, hi-tech piece from motorsport.
Lag was A LOT more acceptable, especially as many 2-stroke also had a very tight power band.

But, even so, looking back, it was a little too early for it.

[S. Costello @Lva_Sc]

@there_is_no_if If Aston were fighting for podiums, Alonso would definitely be a lot less vocal. His complaints will not turn the car or the engine around. Motivation might. That's what the team needs.

On the other hand, plenty of fans and drivers have been vocal about the 2026 regs.
