I was there that day, and as a longtime Jordan fan, I loved it...as much as I had to pick at straws to love anything that day. Monteiro knew damn well this was likely his only chance at an F1 podium ever, so he made the most of it, spraying champagne—the works. The Ferrari guys looked bored.

I can’t read Twitter anymore without hearing generic late night comedian impressions of everyone’s favorite orange supremacist. Read more

Well, a 10yo and the typical buyer are about the same number of years from wearing diapers. Read more

Like a kazoo with wheels. ZZZzzoooweet! Read more

I can’t think of any. I’m wondering if this is a misprint or typo. Even a mid-engined car will need most of its braking power in the front. And 13.3" discs should easily fit in most 19" wheels. Read more
