Old projectors lined up to be taken away and either discarded or sold to a smaller "art house" or independent theatre.

Those orange and silver boxes are how film reels are delivered. One box can be one movie, or two boxes can be for a long movie like Titanic.

The photos make the booth seem bright but these were 30 second exposures. The booths are actually very dark during normal operation.

Only two separate occasions. I'm sure I missed a lot more.

I wonder if Lewis knew Romain was coming quick or if he was just concentrating on getting his own qualifying run started.

Wild end to that race.

Great drives by a whole lot of guys today.

Paul di Resta did really well in place of Martin Brundle, to be honest I preferred di Resta to Brundle already.

Also really nice to see Jenson doing the interviews, blows my mind that he never got a podium at Silverstone.

1 point lead in the WDC standings for VET, HAM goin ham.

DED at Valterri liking that.

Those two legitimately seem like they enjoy each other as teammates. They looked like kids spraying each other with champagne on the podium.

And f tha h8rz, Lewis seems like a decent dude.

Yeah we've seen this b4. Lewis is a decent dude when **** is going right. A little adversity shows up and he turns into a ****. Just like VET

Now for something totally awesome

Illegaler Technik-Trick: FIA verbietet Vorheizen des Fahrwerks - AUTO MOTOR UND SPORT

Cliffs are that 5 teams switched to rear hydraulic suspension for this year, Merc, Ferrari, RB, TR and McLaren. These teams were preheating the oil prior to Q and race to make the suspension moar consistent. When cold the suspension is lower and when warm the rear raises. I would guess this allows them to run the FW closer to the ground than the rules permit.

Apparently teams were told in Baku preheating the hydraulic oil once the car is in Parc Ferme is not allowed. Merc has run the hydraulic actuators for the suspension through the gearbox and thus is still able to preheat them because teams can run the engine/gearbox as much as they want prior to the start of the race and each Q session. Force India has admitted they used hot air to preheat their system.
