Let's bow down to our petrolcrat overlords and begin the season with two Saturday GPs.

Clown show.

That Heineken commercial with Max cracks me up. They tried so hard to make him seem human.

Well, if anything you can have some hope as an actual engineer is now running the team so maybe that'll help.

I saw it mentioned, and I can't recall where, that during testing Mag said it was the first time that he'd been with the team that he's ever seen them use aero rakes to gather data. That seems absolutely unbelievable to me.

Not that this is conclusive but if you google image "Haas Aero Rake" you find pictures of every team except Haas using one. shite like that seems like a huge WTF.
