  • DRS doesn’t even need to be used. Checo had the same advantage without DRS when overtaking Leclerc at Spa. Sailed by as if he had DRS anyway.

    But the advantage goes away on low-speed tracks, and there’s a pattern of Max seemingly winding something up to pull out a fast lap so that they can still get pole. He will always have green or yellow first or second sectors, and then an absurdly fast final sector netting overall half a second or more over the rest of the field.





  • I prefer keeping DRS. Aside from the reasons for its inclusion originally, I love how it gets used offensively and defensively by drivers.

    Austria showed that off the most, with one of the DRS detection zones engaging before a corner. We saw some really tight and smart racing by drivers using the corner to their advantage to use DRS even if they had already overtaken the car in front of them, or conversely using it to stay ahead if you let the car behind pass you ever so slightly.


  • Google’s Pixel Fold is pretty much what I’d like to see in a folding phone, whereas Samsung’s extremely tall aspect ratio is a bit too thin for one-handed use.

    Other competitors have figured out the formula for something that works well open and closed, so for the Fold type devices I’d like to see Samsung improve on the design and squish it a little, especially because it is so thick when folded.

    Flip-style devices on the other hand, those are immediately cool. If the Z Flip had similar cameras to the S23, I would have considered holding out for one. The battery life on the S23 is what won me over.
