Chuck

there's no apple in our house, not gonna start now

it's all my wife watches unfortch

with no college football and no F1 I can't think of a compelling reason to keep youtubetv

DEI is when I listen to my advisors

who could have possibly foreseen this tho sean

I am tantalizingly close to this. Congratulations!

plz don't doxx me

lol found this on my phone

Yup. Exploring options on how to watch but it ain't looking great.

fuck F1, fuck Apple, fuck all this.

Wow is F1 really only on AppleTV this year? Guess I'm out of the sport that's a bummer.

make all F1 content like this immediately please thank you

my job is not meetings but actually my job is meetings

I have meetings tomorrow at 800, 815, 900, 1030, 1100, 1130, 200, 300, 330, and 430 when the fuck is anything supposed to get done and every day is like this aaaaaaaarrhhhhhhhhh

The conservative counter argument of "Target isn't failing because of the DEI boycott it's just a series of bad business strategies" means that when they fired diverse hires and put in more white dudes they did worse at business... which is an extremely pro-DEI argument.

RED BULL

VERDICT: IMPROVED

I have always been a proponent of the tried and true best-in-the-field livery but even I'll admit it was stale. All of these teams should be less afraid of vibrant color. Plus the combo of that blue with a Ford logo is giving Bigfoot vibes [complimentary]

"The CIA conspired to make me less cool than I was when I was 25" is the most succinct Gen X manifesto I've ever heard

this is a Ferrari poast

OH MY GOD

CADILLAC

VERDICT: YOU BEAUTIFUL SONOFABITCH

At first I was underwhelmed by this livery until I realized that it is inverted from one side to the other and we have UNEXPECTED LONGITUDINAL ASYMMETRY this kicks ass I love it

AUDI

VERDICT: NO NOTES

This.

Car.

Fucks.

ASTON MARTIN

VERDICT: YOU DID THIS TO YOURSELVES

You have exclusive moral right to British Racing Green and you refuse to use it. As a result the gods have punished you with an absolute shitbox that not only won't win but may not even get to compete. Y'all need racing Jesus.

ALPINE

VERDICT: BLESS YOUR HEARTS

Still tryina make this blue-pink-black thing work like a goth gender reveal party. Make the car pink and black and it will be 4 tenths faster that is a guarantee. Not the best, not the worst - truly the midfield of livery.

MCLAREN

VERDICT: C'MON MAN

You're world champions - please celebrate by doing something interesting. Same old same old. Fun to read their sponsors and wonder what will kill you first: nicotine addiction, AI singularity, or something called "DP World".

(spoiler alert it's the DP thing)

WILLIAMS

VERDICT: BACKSLIDING

The battery intake isn't cute anymore and I can't decide if I love or loathe the poker chip wheels. But all of the blue graphics look like what you settle on when you try to do your own paint job in Forza Motorsport and can't figure out how to do something cool.

the engine sounds like a dot matrix

HAAS

VERDICT: I DONT EVEN KNOW ANYMORE, MAN

Years ago @seanlegg.bsky.social described the Haas livery as being the default generic paint job you get in a video game, and they just can't seem to get out of that space in my head. Bring back Rich Energy imo.

FERRARI

VERDICT: STOP MAKING ME SAD

The Hewlett Packard Presented by Ferrari has added more of its traditional white and blue colors. I wish I could say it was giving old school Marlboro vibes but really it's just looking more like a Lego car.

VCARB

VERDICT: STILL GREAT

My kid's cub scout pack has an award for the best looking design that you can win even if your car barely moves. I called it the "VCARB award" this year and that struck home with a pleasing number of parents.

MERCEDES

VERDICT: THE SAME-ISH

These cars gotta be either more silver or more black (silver, please). The tiger stripes are kinda cool I guess but this car is as uninspiring as a Mercedes.
