"kimi, I've had an eye on him since his very first outings on four wheels or nearly so. very quickly, I realized he could go far, even carving out a spot in the F1 light. during his rookie season last year, in a top team like mercedes, he learned a ton. honestly, i wasn't expecting to see him leap to such a high level as early as this spring. he's delivering exceptional work. george hasn't been too lucky on several occasions. the 43 points separating them today don't paint a perfect picture.
watching kimi, i'm struck by that carefree spirit that's so typical of youth. on track, he always gives it everything, without a second thought. in a period like this, where you have to adapt to a whole new technical direction, that's a real strength."
George Russell seemed to think it would be easy to win in a dominant car.
He will find no sympathy if he misses out on the 2026 title, writes @OllieHarden.

@MercedesAMGPCF1 He cannot deal with adversity. Whenever anything goes wrong, he lashes out with extreme frustration and always blames someone or something.
o fato dele ter o Senna como ídolo, ter apoio da família Senna, ter usado o S no carro na base (que só pode ser usado com autorização da família), usar o 12, ter visitado o chefe no túmulo, ter nascido onde ele morreu, entre tantas outras coisas mexe com meu psicológico
if the engine thing is true, might be the most impressive feat from a F1 team in history btw
building it from scratch and making the best engine out of everyone
.. just makes me wonder how amazingly dogshit our chassis is (esp at the start of the season)
Q: when it's just 0.043 off of pole, can you visualise where you lost that time?
Max: "I never do that, to be honest. Sometimes you are just ahead, sometimes you are just behind. That's life."
"I was happy with my lap, and when I crossed the line, I was like; if someone beats that, fair enough."
Japan is not significantly richer, if at all, than these three coastal provinces. If anything, people in these provinces enjoy a higher standard of life than Japanese because they enjoy cheap labour and manufactured goods while at similar levels of GDP per capita.
Interesting. On a per capita basis, Japan remains significantly richer than these three Chinese provinces, despite the fact that these are Chinese industrial powerhouses, while the Japan comparison includes both its industrial regions and poorer regions.
John Mearsheimer: "It's not just Israeli leaders who support the genocide. You don't see any protest among the Israeli public. It's shocking. It's sickening. You have to file all this under the Nazification of Israel. They are like the Germans under Hitler."
POMPEO🤡: You don't let a radical regime close off the global economy by firing Shaheed missiles.
Stephen Walt: You do know, Mike, that we started the war.
POMPEO🤡: No, no, no.
Stephen Walt: They weren't firing those missiles until Israel and the United States attacked Iran.
