I think they'll sell to Porsche no matter what happens. If the Honda PU sucks they sell it in 2019 but it won't be called Porsche, might even keep the RB name and the team will run an unbadged customer PU until 2021 then they'll officially take over the team in 2021. Honda will take over TR and trundle around at the back until 2022 or 2023 when they drop out. If Honda gets their **** together RB will hang around until 2021 when Porsche takes over.

If Porsche buy RB early it would still be cheaper for Porsche to stay in F1 at the back vs starting a team from scratch (plus it would give them more of a voice in developing the new regulations). They'll run a skeleton team just to show up while the factory team pulls a Merc and spends 3 years working on perfecting the PU and the chassis with unlimited testing(which is why if this scenario happens I think they would keep the RB name). Porsche won't do what Honda did, they'll make sure to have thousands of test miles on everything before they debut.

Last night I found out my wife has been visiting breast pump modding forums!

These duckbill valves are "stage 1" broskis... improved suction with less moving parts. Like a wankel engine without the oiling issues.




stage 2 will be the full spectra conversion! Pumps in half the time and whisper quiet (and gentler on the nips)! The Tesla Model S of breast pumps

gah - not sure. FB is a pickle. Lately I've been trying to trim away the excess by unfriending and unfollowing certain people. I don't get ppl that take those FB tests multiple times a day and post the results - what is your star wars character? What is your inspirational quote? What animal are you? Whats the latest social issue that I can mod my FB profile pic with? One chick shares every post from "world of skarsgard"... she no longer sleeps in the same bed as her husband, she's sleeps on her couch and stays up all night looking at FB and claims she has insomnia.

I recently cut all the F1 teams I follow - but NOT Kobe - he's still deep up in my feed.

Yeah, but if you increase the internal pressure will seals start to blow?

So it seems Fred isn't totally on board with McLaren yet.

https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/a...engine-953432/

"We'll see. I don't have data about what Renault expects and the improvements it has planned for next year," said Alonso.

"So after this race I'll try to find out and get in touch with them to know more about their plans and from there make a decision."
Would be funny if he's like this Renault data sucks as bad as Honda's data. Of course that leaves him with no where to go for 2018 as far as F1 is concerned.

"The shark fin is possibly still with us," he explained. "They are looking at a changing in the wording [of the rules] to bring the shark fin engine cover back again – because lo and behold teams have realised it takes away sponsor space. "It will go to the Strategy Group in their next meeting and we fully anticipate the engine cover coming back again."

So at Sonoma the second place finisher in one of the Formula Cars (older Pro Mazda
cars) race was only 15 years old and too young to spray champagne
so she was given a sparkling cider bottle instead.

They should have known they could jump in with less than 2 years of development time. Stupid.
