Mclaren TP Andrea Stella after Norris and Verstappen collided in Austria in 2024:
'“The rules were not enforced,” said Stella. “It would have been enough to give Max a warning, like a black and white flag, don’t do it again. This episode should be taken as an opportunity to tighten up the boundaries and enforcing some of the rules that are already in place.”
Norris accused Verstappen of driving in a reckless and desperate manner and Stella also referenced the racing between Lewis Hamilton and Verstappen in 2021 when the pair came together repeatedly in what was a very tight title fight, noting he believed decisions not to punish Verstappen in the past had been an error by the FIA.
Hamilton and Verstappen clashed at Imola, Silverstone, Monza and Jeddah that season. At Interlagos in Brazil, Verstappen pushed Hamilton off the track but that was not deemed as worthy of a penalty at the time, although Hamilton did win. The decision not to censure Verstappen’s driving was widely questioned as legitimising such moves and Stella believed it may have only emboldened him.
“We don’t want to see another 2021. That was not a good point in F1, it might have been entertaining but not for good reasons,” he said. “If you don’t address things, as soon as you introduce competition, as soon as you introduce a sense of injustice, these things escalate.'
This is why I'll also rate Lewis' 2021. He kept touch with Max despite nearly always taking the high road and backing out. He let Max off so often, maybe too often, by driving so passively, just like the stewards let him off too often too. The very few times Lewis didnt budge it ALWAYS ended in contact. With a different driver, I don't think the two even finish half the races that year.

Horner has just admitted that #ProjectGWH started in 2018
⚠️ HORNER ACEPTA, POR PRIMERA VEZ, LA PRESIÓN QUE TUVO DEL CÍRCULO VERSTAPPEN CUANDO @SChecoPerez COMENZÓ A ALTERNAR VICTORIAS CON MAX Y ESTABLECE QUE LA ETAPA CON RICCIARDO ERA MÁS PAREJA PORQUE TENÍAN UN COCHE Y UN DESARROLLO BASTANTE NEUTRAL, COSA QUE CAMBIÓ ALREDEDOR DE 2018.
“Si se analiza, obviamente durante la etapa de Daniel y Max, los dos comenzaron estando muy cerca y el coche era bastante neutral para ambos.
Yo diría que empezó en 2018, cuando... Quiero decir, Max es tremendamente exigente con lo que quiere y tiene una habilidad extraordinaria: puede exigir cada vez más del tren delantero del coche y simplemente lidiar con lo que haga la parte trasera.
Ahora bien, al perseguir ese objetivo de proporcionarle esa herramienta, inevitablemente tu departamento de ingeniería, tus herramientas y tu enfoque de desarrollo siguen el camino de crear esa característica en el coche. Una característica que a otros les resultaba difícil manejar. Y lo vimos en el coche de 2021, el 16B, o incluso en el coche anterior, con Alex…
Lo que me resultó interesante fue que, durante 2021, Alex Albon hizo un trabajo extraordinario tras bambalinas desarrollando el coche de 2022, porque gran parte de la atención estaba puesta en el coche de 2021, desarrollándolo hasta el último momento.
Y Alex había desarrollado aquel coche, que estaba muy adaptado a su estilo de conducción. Un estilo de conducción mucho más clásico, probablemente más parecido al de Sergio o Daniel.
Así que, cuando comenzamos la temporada de 2022, si recuerdas, Max odiaba el coche. Tenía demasiado subviraje. Y Sergio, con esa previsibilidad… de repente ambos estaban ganando una carrera cada uno y estaban mucho más cerca al comienzo de aquel año.
Y recuerdo haberme sentado con los representantes de Max, alrededor de Azerbaiyán de aquel año, y que me dijeran:
‘Mira, han desarrollado este coche alrededor de Checo. Tienen que seguir lo que Max necesita’.
Así que estaba muy claro el mensaje que se estaba transmitiendo, el que llegaba a través de esa línea. Y, por supuesto, Max es el principal activo. Es el piloto con el que tienes más probabilidades de ganar.
Así que, por supuesto, cualquier equipo de ingeniería gravitará de manera natural hacia su piloto más rápido, o un equipo se orientará hacia quien considere que puede darle el mejor resultado.” 🔥🇬🇧

Introducing SKY-001, the first Engineering World Model.
On CAD and BIM tasks, it beats GPT-6 Astra and every frontier model we tested:
-> 51-125x faster
- > 150-210x cheaper
-> Higher IOU than all frontier models
SKY-001 lets you dream a physical object before you build it.
18 months of work. Built by the team out of Maluuba's deep learning lab (acq. by @MSRResearch).
The first ‘AI General Engineer’ will be the backbone for Autonomous Manufacturing.

Com Christian Horner falando a verdade, ficou claro que, dependendo do carro, Sergio Perez conseguia até superar Max Verstappen em alguns momentos.
O problema, e incomoda muito, sempre foi qualquer ameaça ao mito criado do SuperMax.

Max Verstappen e seu staff pressionam a FIA por mudanças nas regras da Fórmula 1.
E isso tem motivo, no meu entender.
Pela primeira vez ele tem um carro sem competitividade.
E isso abala sua imagem criada de "Super Max".
Segue o fio. 🧵(1/n)

FIA: we see nothing wrong with this
Max was not ahead at the apex so he used the space rule. He didn’t leave me the space
When Max is ahead at the apex…fIA: it was Max’s turn bc he was first at the apex 🤷♀️
Just like FIA: adjusting the rules to try and fit their agenda

Why are we acting like Abudhabi 2021 was the only time Verstappen got away with cheating that season😭
All this talk about AD21 is baffling, because when I say my opinion which is "with the pace advantage Mercedes had in that race they should have covered Verstappen's stop during the VSC" most of you still now have no clue there was even a VSC mid way through the race.
it's not right but lets stop pretending it was cheating and deliberate manipulation...

🚨 A MAIOR FARSA DA FÓRMULA 1 ACABA DE SER REVELADA! 🚨
Todo mundo engoliu a história de que o Michael Schumacher se aposentou da @ScuderiaFerrari em 2006 porque quis, né? MENTIRA! ❌
Assista a esse vídeo até o final para entender os podres dos bastidores de Maranello. A real é que o Schumacher foi completamente forçado e obrigado a se aposentar por causa de uma guerra de egos e de uma política interna podre que ele se recusou a jogar.
Eles simplesmente fritaram o maior piloto da história deles para forçar uma transição. Quer a maior prova de que ele saiu com sangue nos olhos e contra a própria vontade? Anos depois, o homem rasgou a aposentadoria e voltou ao grid correndo justamente pela maior concorrente: a Mercedes! 🤯
A história da Scuderia é muito mais sombria do que parece, e será que esse é o ambiente de bastidores que @LewisHamilton e @Charles_Leclerc enfrentam hoje na equipe!?

Horner has just admitted to corruption, a breach of the @fia Code of Ethics
A misuse of his power to gain a WDC. He applied pressure to an official to act improperly by failing to fully apply art 48.12.

Christian Horner has revisited the final Safety Car controversy of Abu Dhabi 2021, and openly described Red Bull pushing Michael Masi to allow the lapped cars through.
🎙️ 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗛𝗼𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗿: “Originally he said, ‘No, the cars are not to unlap.’ And then by putting pressure on him, he agreed to unlap the cars.”
But Horner also acknowledges the crucial detail: Masi only released the cars positioned between Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen.
🎙️ 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗛𝗼𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗿: “The only controversial thing that he did… [was] only the ones between Lewis and Max.”
Horner adds that, looking back, Masi could simply have allowed 𝗮𝗹𝗹 of the lapped cars through.
That decision transformed the finale: Verstappen restarted directly behind Hamilton on fresh softs, while Lewis was on hards more than 40 laps old.

Anthropic thinks Fable 5.5 is about to print so much money they're already building the system to redistribute some of it...
before the model is even released lol
We’re committing a portion of Anthropic’s shares to the Anthropic Public Benefit Fund, a new wholly owned entity dedicated entirely to the public benefit.
It will start off with 5% of our shares. For every 50% increase in the company’s value over a set baseline, we can contribute up to an extra 2%, subject to our board’s discretion.
In total, this means that roughly 20% of Anthropic’s shares are committed to the public good. Our co-founders have already pledged to donate 80% of their equity, and around half our employees are donating a portion of their equity as part of a donation matching program we’ve run since our founding.
In the post below, we share more details about our new fund.

Claude Opus 5.5 just reverse-engineered my TV...
1 prompt + 5 min = total control: 10x faster UI, ads blocked, any app from GitHub and that's just the beginning
here's full guide step by step:
step 1 → put your computer and TV on the same Wi-Fi network
step 2 → paste the prompt below into Claude Code with a photo of your TV
step 3 → unlock the hidden Developer menu with your remote - Claude tells you what to press
step 4 → hit "allow" on the TV - it's last time you touch the remote
step 5 → say yes to the cleanup: no ad rows, no bloat, 2x faster UI - all reversible
step 6 → install any open-source app straight from GitHub - no Play Store
the result: now anything you can think of, your TV can do...
p.s: works on almost any TV. Mine in the video is from 2017
Try it now, you're welcome. Then read article below on how to reverse-engineer anything:

A história da Scuderia é muito mais sombria do que parece, e o grid que @LewisHamilton e @Charles_Leclerc herdam hoje foi moldado nessa base de puxadas de tapete.

Everyone in that sport will be impressed by the way Lewis Hamilton handled everything that happened in AD21, even his competitors
"I was super impressed. I mean, his world has fallen apart"
"the charisma within him to acknowledge and congratulate Max, to congratulate me and stand up there on that podium. That must have been immensely, immensely hard for him, you know, in that moment."

CHRISTIAN HORNER ADMITS HE PUSHED RACE CONTROL AT ABU DHABI 2021! 🤯
In his new book, Horner reveals how he pressured Michael Masi to let the lapped cars through and restart the race.
“Come on, Michael, we need to get this race restarted.”
“Let the drivers race.”
Five years later, Abu Dhabi 2021 is STILL making headlines.

-FIA changed the rules
-FIA ignored the rules
-FIA changed the regs
-Newey bragged about the new regs helping Max more than Merc
Hamilton knew exactly what FIA was doing and was still the man in the room
A man among men
And he still returned

The beginning of the F1 entertainment first era, arbitrary rules, fake narratives and fake champs. Max was the perfect useful idiot and still is. Imagine celebrating a robbed WDC. Trash team and driver, zero class. 🤡
