Something has been bugging me on the Chinese race.
How overbearing are the commies going to be on the press? What will the crowds look like? Will the people just appear to look as if they have been forced to be there?

Sainz to Red Bull doesn't make sense and it may just be a strategy to bump his contract at Mercedes. He should go to Merc for a year, then on to Audi in '26.
If Audi's contract is really beating everyone else and Sainz is fine with being in the Kick Sauber for a year, so be it, but if I were him, I'd be asking Audi to change the contract. |

It’s always been my understanding that Ferrari is strict on after market paint jobs on their cars, to the point that you could be put on a ‘naughty’ list and not allowed to buy another one. Perhaps the rules have changed or different in China. |

Quite honestly, my favorite Kym Illman videos are his travel vlogs, critiques of airline food or airport club lounges, etc.
Just finished his most recent video, and damn, the hoops you have to go through to get into that country.  The info they want about you, the fingerprints ... fuck all that. He put a lot of faith into a Chinese train going 300 kph. |

They had some motivation to shit on the CCP (they had to leave the country) but their tale of Westerners in modern China is really interesting. The 'painted' track story is funny, even if Autosport clarified that it's actually a bitumen treatment; it still sounds a little to close to a half-arsed superficial bit of polish to me, which is very modern China. |
