I have spectrum.

Base package.

I think it is supposed to be 100mb/s, I'm probably actually getting like 40

 

yeah i'd say DSL pushes well beyond the limits of what you can reliably do with an unshielded twisted pair of wire. it's been around since 1885 and had a good run.

coax has 10x the bandwidth and most of what has been installed is relatively new so there's less chance of problems with it.

 

just watching Stroll onboard during cool down crash with Vettel.

I can conclude there is no conclusion other than they crashed... so weird.

 

true - but they are entering a corner, so you'd assume stroll would... turn into the corner.

F U LANCE!

 

but he was turning left the whole time. Granted he could've turned more, but it takes two to tango, unless you're a Haas driver.

 

Passing car has to pass safely. F U VETTEL

but really, F lance

 

You leave Lance out of this

 

in before FIA bans passing on cooldown lap

 

i had to unsubscribe from the f1 utube channel - way too much garbage. i did like the full 2001 malaysia GP though.

 

oh deer!

 

Wonder if VAN will beat ALO again this weekend

 

that's not his rival doe. ALO is out to beat PAL

/karma

 

 

VAN said he's ready to lead McLaren. The internet took that to mean ALO is leaving McLaren lol.

 

my god - it's like a horse with horns!

 

Apparently the 2017 Honda PU is on display at Suzuka.

 

Can't tell if it sucks or not.

 

I'd venture to say if Honda had the current spec PU at the start of this season that McLaren would still use be using Honda next year. I mean it sounded like McLaren were gonna go no matter what (and I think that had to do with Ron being the one to bring Honda back) but I think the current spec PU would have forced McLaren's hand.

Also rumor in Japan is Waffle to get next spec PU in USA with Alonso slated for Messico Worth noting this is the spec that Hasegawa would close the gap to Renault in early August. We shall see

 

a day late and a horsepower short

 

Honda promised to be at the 2016 customer Merc spec at the start of the season. I don't even think they're there now. But probably they stick with Honda if the current PU was available in the opener. I think I read McLaren gave up on Honda during testing. The 2017 PU regressed from the 2016 spec unit, both in reliability AND power. Honda just really boned it up.

 

JPM tops second Petit LeMans practice.

 

I agree Honda boned up but I think part of the blame lies with McLaren. They forced Honda to join a season earlier than Honda wanted and go down a development dead end. Honda should have had the stones to say size zero is not a good idea.

 

sounded like they lacked the engineering expertise to make that call, with all the old timers retired

 

I would venture it's more of a culture issue. The higher ups said do it and the engineers said yes. I don't think they would have said we can't or it's a bad idea. Just a guess tho

 

There's a lot that happened, blame here, blame there, but Honda is the one that suffered the most. Their performance and reputation is ****. Only McLaren's performance is in the ******* at the moment. Most believe they would be around the Red Bull's with a competitive engine package.

Also the new Civic's look terrible. CTR no care, which makes me sad.
