Which other company on the face of the planet do you think can successfully pull off something of this magnitude ? Thanks for landing on earth @elonmusk.

Lewis Hamilton’s first win in red or the Heist at Barcelona

I will be honest. When the grid formed on Sunday morning and I saw Lewis on used softs against Antonelli and Russell on mediums, I was not cautiously optimistic. I was convinced I was about to watch a disaster unfold in slow motion. The thermal degradation at Barcelona is punishing. The soft tyre degrades fast. And the idea that he would jump the Silver Arrows at the start and then somehow hold two faster cars at bay felt like my wishful thinking dressed as strategy. Verstappen being on softs too gave me pause, because Red Bull almost never miscalculate. Almost. It removed a tenth of my concern. I was still ninety percent terrified.
What I had not accounted for was that Lewis was not racing Mercedes. He was running an operation against them.

Twelve years inside that organisation gives you something no strategy software can replicate: you know exactly where the system breaks. Lewis watched Toto Wolff navigate the Hamilton-Rosberg equilibrium, then the Russell dynamic, then every iteration of the internal political contract that governs how Mercedes treats its drivers when a championship is at stake. He did not just race for Mercedes. He studied it. And what he brought to Ferrari's pit wall was a map of the precise point where Mercedes' governance structure becomes a liability.

That point is this: a Mercedes in a title fight cannot coordinate against a third party without triggering an internal crisis. Equal treatment is not a courtesy at Mercedes. It is a structural constraint, baked into how decisions get made, how stops get called, how risk gets allocated between two drivers fighting each other as much as the field. Two Silver Arrows sounds like a threat. In reality, it is two cars whose strategic interests are partially opposed, managed by a team that will optimise for fairness before it optimises for victory.

Lewis knew this. Ferrari built their entire race around it.
When he said on Saturday that facing two Mercedes would be difficult, he was being truthful. He simply was not being completely so. The other truth, the one that actually shaped the race, is that a politically constrained opponent is a structurally weaker opponent, regardless of how fast their car is. You simply need to find the system’s crack in it and apply pressure there.

And the crack opened exactly as designed. Mercedes compromised the ideal timing of their two-stop by responding at the first stops to Hamilton's three-stop. Every call they made was filtered through two questions simultaneously: what is right for the race, and most importantly, what is fair between our drivers. When Antonelli was visibly faster than Russell on the hards and radioing for help, Mercedes held firm. Equal treatment. It cost them around 1.5 seconds. Ferrari only ever had to answer one question.

Then came the number that made it clinical. The theoretical pit stop time loss was 23 seconds. Lewis was going so much faster than both Mercedes that the computer was already projecting he would pass them both before the end. Then Alonso pulled off at Turn 10 on lap 40. The VSC came out, Lewis took his third stop and emerged still in the lead on fresh hards. He never had to test those projections on track. According to the race data, Alonso had just handed Hamilton and Ferrari the certainty of a victory they might have been set for anyway.

This victory did not come from nowhere. It came from a team and a driver assembling something race by race since the start of this season, each weekend adding a layer of fluency between Lewis and a machine that spent most of 2025 refusing to speak his language. Barcelona was not a breakthrough. It was a culmination.

None of this happens without Ferrari doing their part. They showed up in Barcelona with a transformative upgrade, a car that had become F1's fastest through corners, and a strategy wall willing to bet the race on one asymmetric read. Lewis did not win despite his machinery. He won because for the first time in two years, the machinery finally matched the driver inside it. In F1, nobody wins in a shitbox. And Ferrari made sure he did not have to.

And then he picked up the microphone. “To Team LH, I wouldn’t be standing here today without the support that you’ve given me. You really saved my life last year and helped me pick up from a dark place in a difficult moment in my life. So I just wanted to dedicate this win to you. This is our win.”

His 106th. His first in red. Built on insider knowledge, executed with mathematical ruthlessness and delivered on raw pace. But ultimately, a reminder that behind the operation, behind the data and the loophole and the 23 seconds, there is a human being who needed saving too. And came back to win anyway.

I am immensely proud and happy for him. I wish him continuous devastating pace, consistency and wit, and a team that keeps building him the tools to unleash it all. The records will keep following naturally...

Red Bull fans see racing that isn’t “I was at the apex first1!1!1” for the first time and are confused

[Tesla @Tesla]

Single-piece castings are cheaper to repair

@wearetherace I'm confused again. How are @Honda a partner of @redbullracing in 2025 when one of the main reasons for having a #F1 engine freeze was due to Honda withdrawing from F1

[Tesla @Tesla]

We are Tesla

We’re not just creating products people love – we’re creating a movement for sustainable energy, for everyone

Sir Lewis Hamilton of Ferrari! 🥺❤️

Well now you know why I canceled my last Model X order 😎

[Stefanie @fastpitstop]

Has the FIA released a statement when Lewis Hamilton got booed by the dutch or do they just care about Max Verstappen being booed?

@teslaownersSV On April 20th , $TSLA will hit $690.00 per share 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🐕🐕🐕🐕

[tan_tric @tan_tric]

@herbertong Still too expensive in 🇨🇦 :(

[Tesla Asia @Tesla_Asia]

The first Megapack rolled off the production line at the Megafactory Shanghai and will soon ship to Australia🎉@teslaenergy

[Pejjy @CuriousPejjy]

So it's looking like $TSLA will enter Saudi Arabia & India this year if it goes according to plan.

LFG!

Alright guys. Long time no serious charting, but it's time.

First off, you ABSOLUTELY need to understand the cloud that's just cleared on the chart.

Here are 2 scenarios I posted early January

The 4th sub-wave scenario
https://t.co/4zYG2OCcXi

The big 2nd wave scenario
https://t.co/FItWkgnxbI

It's vital to understand the nature of my scenarios. Normally when people have scenarios, that's because, and I'm sorry, their system doesn't fucking work. You see something like this "if it bounces here, it'll go higher, if not it'll go lower" That's what happens when your system doesn't work although the input may be clear.

When I say scenarios, that means the input is not clear although my system has been proven times and again that it works.

So what's not clear about the input?

Here you see 4 ovals
The first 2 ovals are red because you can clearly see they are ABCs, so they can't be the beginning of a new bull market

The last oval is green because you can clearly see it's impulsive, which leads to a huge bull run in December

The yellow oval is in yellow because I wasn't sure if it's an ABC, or a leading diagonal.

If it's an ABC, that means once the December bull run was over, the stock would start correcting hard.

If it's a leading diagonal, that means once the December bull run was over, it would take a breather, trade sideway for a while, and then run up again.
