Chess.com effectively disables chat - how do you feel about this?

Chess.com effectively disables chat - how do you feel about this?

So a while ago, chess.com moved the chat from below the moves Area into it's own separate Tab. Ever since that my conversations with opponents effectively dropped to near zero. Almost nobody replies, even fewer people actually send chats my way.

I really found this was a fun part of playing at chess.com, and now I kind of feel like I could just as well play against a bot.

I feel honestly bummed about this, am I the only one?

FIA Event Top Times - how on earth?

Can someone please enlighten me how some drivers are able to drive below 6:10 times on this stage?

This is more than 20 (!!!) seconds faster than where I am currently at, and I fail to envision which corners I can take so much faster to gain this kind of time.

Is there any replay? Did anyone share a setup that is like a cheatcode? I already realized setting the tire pressure "correctly" is already a *massive* boost, but 20+ seconds ist just mind blowing.

There is so little information on what we could possibly do to become fast, and there seems to be an elite group of people who are either magically better or just know more.

Anyone?

Edit:

I did find a quite conclusive livestream (including setup) from a nice french driver today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dSklZ30Eqeo
