Happy birthday Brian.

New McLaren MCL34:

Sauber showing some sneak peeks of its testing livery!

You heard it here first

Still as yuck as ever!

We used to have a somewhat similar drink called Kefir which is basically fermented milk... I love it but it's definitely an acquired taste if you're not used to it haha. Traveling is all about exploring new things - including salty milk...

It sounds like you're really having an unforgettable trip

Hope you're still alive

Is he...smiling???

Or maybe they just want less drag and more downforce on Max's way to WDC

Errr.... Where are the sidepods?... Are they really so tiny??? The most interesting design so far for sure; looks like a very tight package and it makes you wonder if Honda engine won't have issues with overheating The livery is beautiful but sadly I don't think it will be used during the actual season. Yet another one-off camouflage livery for the launch/testing apparently. That Mercedes one is quite nice as well. Very sleek design but doesn't look that different from the last year's car.

Haha that was just a bit of a joke... Kimi's class though.

Still doesn't beat Kimi and him going on a 16 day drinking bender with his mates

He also sent a handwritten letter to Nikki Lauda when he was recovering from his lung transplant surgery. https://www.motorsport-total.com/formel-1/news/niki-lauda-habe-handgeschriebenen-brief-von-sebastian-vettel-erhalten-18122002

Good decision.

I'm just working my way through the whole Star Wars Expanded Universe (now known as Legends) collection. 270 books in total; I've only read 14 so far... So it will surely keep me entertained for a long time As for "proper" sci-fi series, have you read The Expanse Series by James S. A. Corey? The TV show adaptation of it is great and I don't want to spoil it to myself so I've only read the first three books in the series but there are currently 9 altogether and even more if you count related novelas and short stories. Easily the best modern sci-fi for me.

Finished both the Obi-Wan Kenobi audiobook and the 1491 history of the pre-Columbus Americas one. Now moving to the next ones. for entertainment: for serious reading:

Yeah give it a go if you get a chance; it's good as it's not too technical but still explores the future mission to Mars from various standpoints and has an actual fictional storyline + the bits of interviews with experts in the field... I'm enjoying it.

Has anyone seen MARS, a series by the National Geographic Channel? It tells the story of the settlement of Mars from the vantage point of a fictional mission to Mars in 2033 and combines scripted drama paired with documentary sequences featuring actual scientists and innovators who are leading the research and development of space technology that will make such future mission to settle Mars possible. It's already in Season 2; I only started watching it yesterday after being somewhat reluctant due to the docu-drama aspect. Surprisingly enjoyed the pilot episode; it's visually stunning and quite educational and informative.

Not many changes in livery but it's a nice looking car...

Especially because of Honda engine! I think at the end of last season their PU was already Renault's equal and had less issues with reliability. Considering they'll have two teams this time it should also advance their development. Predicting Max to be WDC is certainly beyond bold haha but I really think Honda engine will be one of the biggest surprises of 2019.

Alfa Romeo/Sauber will be the "best of the rest". Hülkenberg will outscore Ricciardo. Verstappen will win WDC. Kimi and Lando Norris will get at least one podium.

Have you canceled your subscription haha? Good news I guess. RTL is just horrible and the reviews of F1TV haven't been great so far so having Sky coverage back is good.

Haha Let's make it 10 Euros as I want some fancy property...

Both?... I'm happy to see that you're also still on the old reddit; I can't stand the new interface!
