    The heats not too bad with a fan tbf. As for what I’m doing today is work, but busy work as they don’t really have a project for me to get on with since I finished this one faster than expected, and the next bit is delayed.

    But otherwise sleep has been a pain as this year the hay fever seems to have activated my asthma which is fun. Oh and I have massive blisters and raw skin because Dr. Martens are way worse to break in than I anticipated.











  • My understanding is that this kind of thing is very common in the US as it provides incentives for their sports franchises to remain in the city instead of moving elsewhere. Unlike in Europe (the UK at least) where teams tend to fund their own stuff as it’s essentially verboten to move towns (MK Dons is still disliked for that and it required an entire comission to figure out if you were actually allowed to do that)



  • It’s the same thing as with mercedes domination, and red bull domination before that. They’ve found a solution to the rules that works really well and they have improvements that they are finding, although they’re going to hit the incremental returns wall sooner. I don’t know if they’re going to be properly caught by 2025, don’t forget that mercedes weren’t caught by 2016, which was a year before the new wider cars were introduced, you had to wait until 2021 and a chassis freeze + nerf for that to happen.

    Mercedes has obviously had to go back to the drawing board and hopefully understand their car better now so should be able to get closer next year. Aston could stay in the top spots which will be good. Ferrari have way too many resources to be kept down for long, but obviously their internal culture seems to need a rework, and I wouldn’t put them in a championship hunt as they are now.

    We’ll see what the new engine regs have in store but it’s not a massive change in some ways so it might not affect much unless someone completely shits the bed.
