Isn't Silent Hill just the name of a place, regardless of whether there is weird demonic stuff going on?

Piastri lost the win at the first corner, I think even if Max had overall better pace it wouldn't have been enough to overtake under normal circumstances.

From there, in hindsight, the fastest strategy would have been to sit behind Max and push through the overheating Mediums. But Piastri and team had to try to go for the lead with an undercut because they're racers, nothing can be said against that.

With two mistakes overall, I think third place is the smallest penalty he could have gotten away with, it could have been much worse, and it was good to see the progress through the midfield.

Norris had to clear fewer cars to make his progress, but he did it well and had race pace meeting or exceeding Piastri's. Good to see them racing cleanly after the safety car.

Classic Red Bull, they're getting more and more desperate. I hope for Yuki's sake he finds a little more speed in the RBR and is helpful to them to develop the car. I don't think anyone new to the team is going to save their WCC hopes.

I hope it doesn't Rust

Wear ear protection, even if the cars are quiet enough these days that you don't think you need it. Sometimes the trackside commentary is available on a local FM radio station, and they'll sell overpriced radio headsets, so bring your own if you're interested in that.

Hey thanks for describing this hypothetical situation, I pay Steam for a lot of game licenses so I've lost touch with the current philosophy of hypothetical alternatives.

Having watched Clarkson's Farm I think he honestly went into the farming business to test and resolve his opinions on the climate. He still loves cars but uses the car persona to look at farming practices.

I didn't realise there was a restriction on this - what's the rationale for the rule?

Given overtaking is impossible for similarly matched cars and drivers can avoid pitting simply by driving slowly, what kind of event would you have for Sunday?

Best I can think of is an elimination style event: cars are released from the pits in reverse grid order with a 3s gap between each, and if you can stay within 1s of the car in front for a whole lap, that car is eliminated unless they're also within 1s of the car in front of them at the end of the lap (I guess the last checkpoint would need to be just before the pit entry).

Worst I can think of is a series of duels, where Kevin Magnussen is given an SUV and a 3s gap, and drivers need to successfully overtake in an F1 car within 1 lap.
