Hulk’s issue is related to comms with the system

Those snaps look pretty wicked. Even after hitting the wall it seemed like so much torque whipping the car back around.


The skypad replay made it look like he didn't get all the power he wanted a couple of corners earlier, so I wonder if it unexpectedly all came at once right when he spun.
Piastri upshifted and hit the throttle right when he dropped off the kerb
He just clipped the kerb and spun it. Something must have broke (before he spun)
Piastri just crashed on the way to the grid
Looks like AppleTV will have some multi-view options. One of the defaults is the main feed on the left and then P1, P2, and P3 onboards on top of each other on the right. Pretty cool.

FIA removes zone 4 (T8 to T9) of active aerodynamics opening. Some drivers and teams expressed concern over loss of downforce in those corners under certain conditions, such as following other cars. The actual front aero downforce data is lower than simulated. It's a safety issue. It has been communicated to teams this morning. They will have to make changes to car setups. It will be even more complicated in terms of energy management.

Well, in the end, the FIA communicates that this decision will not be applied after receiving the teams' comments this morning. Everything remains the same as yesterday. It will be evaluated again after free practice 3.

We really need to downsize....almost empty nesters in a 5 bedroom home....but I would almost double my mortgage if I were to buy a 1-story 3 bedroom home in the same area.

And if you use Fubo for streaming cable, the app for the Apple TV allows you to do your own multi-view.....perfect for college fb season

I have no idea if the reports of "thousands of Iranian sleeper cells in the U.S." are accurate...but if something like this doesn't activate them, I don't know what will...
Nursing, various radiology techs (ultrasound, etc.)
Its probably as a result of NBC making sunday night a sports night almost every week of the year.

Football in the fall....big NBA games after.

ESPN knows people aren't going to tune in for their random baseball game if a big NBA game is on
I've got everything entered into Turbo Tax. We pay estimated taxes thru the year and at this point, I owe $24.

I usually let it sit for a while to make sure I don't stumble across another Goodwill donation receipt or something. I'll file and pay mid-March.

Imax and Apple TV are bringing the 2026 FIA Formula One World Championship live to select big screens across the U.S. for the first time.

Five of the most iconic Grands Prix in F1 — Miami, Monaco, Silverstone, Monza, and Austin — will be available across at least 50 Imax locations, amplifying the inaugural season of Apple TV as F1’s official U.S. broadcaster. The tech giant cliched a five-year rights deal in October as the racing circuit grows in popularity in the U.S. with stops in Las Vegas, Miami and Austin.

The Miami Grand Prix is first up May 3 followed by Monaco (June 7), British Grand Prix (Silverstone, July 5), Italian Grand Prix (Monza, September 6), and United States Grand Prix (Austin, October 25).
