Mostly doesn't matter because it's a light fuel run later in the day after track evolution, and other light fuel runs from McLaren and Ferrari had similar performances to the RB20.

There's still hope.

Carlos doing so well to control Max's attack.

Just like Kimi nodding off in the car.

South Africa has been the exception.

Well yes, it's really difficult to switch when government only just managed to migrate to Windows 10 on most machines, and still uses Microsoft's document formats for everything aside from PDF.

Up until a few years ago, UNISA was still using public-facing IIS servers and SARS was paying up the wazoo to maintain old Flash applets that people used to file their taxes.

One government department managed to waste R5 million on a WordPress website that used a $15 theme.

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.

Microsoft's implementation of the feature is called Windows Update Delivery Optimization.

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-update-delivery-optimization-and-privacy-bf86a244-8f26-a3c7-a137-a43bfbe688e8

Here's a short optimisation guide: https://www.ctrl.blog/entry/windows-delivery-optimization.html

Fundamentally it's not like the Bittorrent protocol, even though there are similar behaviours and the result is the same. Microsoft retains the ability to stop the network from seeding updates and has ways of only targeting specific supported configurations to receive new updates.

Very excited to see how Intel continues on their trajectory with Alchemist, and soon Battlemage.

Ah, Russian boot-licking.

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.

 

Title.

This still makes no sense to me.
