“Go Fast Stripes...”


It’s fairly early and the coffee has not kicked in yet...

GREAT question which I have no answer to... I have read the end post and understand it’s a Cunningham.

I include mabarker1 on this post because IIRC he was ‘mentioning’ a new lawnmower a month or so ago...

I have retired my 27 year old Honda (has a Ferrari ‘prancing horse’ SF sticker on it) and have purchased a new Honda and a Mammothion 5000H which will be getting:

Racing Stripes!

Before the summer ends...Likely red but I just started thinking about it now...

NO Olympic gay shit...

Thanks chode for keeping us wanting more F1!

A former RBR test driver named Robert Doornbos (never heard of ‘im) claims Newey has signed with Aston-Martin for $100 mil (more than what 15 of the current crop of F1 drivers are being paid).

He also claims that Newey’s asking price was too dear for Ferrari, plus he wanted too much control over car design.

I could’ve told you the Scuderia was never going to let Newey run the shop his way, but knowing how to be the Honest Broker, how to balance the tug-of-war between aerodynamics and powerplant, is one of his most impactful skills. I think he intuitively understands what’s important and when better than anybody else in the bidness.

"got link?"

Soitenly!

https://www.crash.net/f1/news/1053375/1/bold-claim-100m-aston-martin-deal-finalised-adrian-newey

Ted Kravitz is on it today, says the $100m is a 3-year deal.

https://www.planetf1.com/news/adrian-newey-aston-martin-update-100-million-deal-claim


A lot of the buzz is giving the bulk of the credit to Lance Stroll's father, Lawrence, who is a big cheese at A-M, for putting together the deal.
