    Some books I love

    I haven't produced much content lately. Just not feeling "pony." Been working on some space opera I might post to Royal Road or Amazon or something someday.

    In light of my recent lack of content, have some of my favorite books:

    Me: What did you learn in school today?

    Kid: We learned about "SPQR" in ancient Rome.

    Me: Romanes eunt domes!

    Wife: What?

    Me: Don't worry about it.

Red Bull gives you wiiiings...

Job well done eh?

Yup. Last season went to the last lap of the last race. They wrapped it up with four rounds to go this year.

Ferrari and Mercedes shit their own mess tins this year. Heck, Alpine would be P3 above Merc if their engines stopped exploding.

Max Max Max Super Max Max Max!

How do you get "doesn't deserve"? Verstappen dominated the season, in a way that I have seldom seen. There's most assuredly room to take issue with the new FIA's administration of the sport, especially when the race director and/or clerk of the course apparently lost control of the track workers at a time and in a way that could easily have ended in disaster. Verstappen, however, is golden. That was a well deserved title!

He will not be Ver-stopped!

If I could upvote this a dozen times...

Ferrari made their own problems this year, yeah. Had Binnoto (sp?) done a better job, it would have been much closer, and Ferrari might have won the constructor's title, but even then, I think Verstappen would still have won the driver's title.

Mercedes just did not have the car to be fully competitive this year, even when the FIA changed the rules halfway through the season to help them. The Alpines were outpulling them down the long straights, even with DRS.

Pretty much. I've felt terrible for Sainz and LeClerc this year, the way their team keeps letting them down.

And considering that Ferrari made no mistakes and was pitch-perfect at Singapore, that makes Checo's victory all the sweeter!
