Maybe I’m too online, but I see a lot (much on X lol) about how Norris is shit at W2W, especially in comparison to Piastri (and in light of the Colapinto incident).

Now I’m not saying that Norris is a w2w God, and I think one of his biggest flaws as a driver is that he’s TOO cautious/tentative at times.

But recently I’ve seen people posting the Singapore overtake on Piastri from last year’s start to say he can’t overtake cleanly, or including things like Miami 22 (racing incident with Gasly) and Spain 19 (Racing incident with Stroll) to say that he’s bad at racing other drivers. None of these examples strike me as legitimate critiques of his W2W (which you can make) but they seem to garner a lot of agreement online.

And I do think Piastri is a strong overtaker, but specifically in w2w with Norris, Norris has come out on top in many instances (I mention this because Piastri is the biggest point of comparison).

So I wanted to see what other people thought and if I’m in the minority here or my X algorithm is just amplifying drama lol.

“l think for Oscar it was sort of Oscar himself thinking like it's not going to be rapid, and I think with Lando, it's possible that we biased Lando in the wrong direction.

"I think he was probably more in the direction that he should have pitted for inters, but as we discussed, we kind of attempted to see whether we could stay out on the medium tyres."

I hate this team.

Interview with Gil Durán: "People like Gavin Newsom are so hungry for billionaire money for their presidential campaigns that they are largely not attacking or criticizing the Silicon Valley fascist oligarchs directly. They’re going after Trump or after Vance, but Trump and Vance wouldn’t be able to do what they’re doing without the backing of the tech billionaires."

Interesting looking book club about Gil Durán's new book, seems like they're giving away some copies when you sign up.

"Oh but the context!!!!"

^ article goes into what was happening at YC Startup School in SF this weekend.

"Last week, an English influencer and model posted an Instagram carousel of herself recorded through the lens of her home security camera. The fish eye angle of the photos makes us feel like we are watching her rather than seeing her (dubbed “surveillance chic” by a writer trying to make sense of this cultural phenomenon). Another influencer is using her building’s elevator security camera to document daily outfits; others posting Ring camera images say they are subversively winking to the surveillance state."

Some insight about what tech founders are looking for when they pitch journalists, how they do it (AI agents of course) and their meltdowns when the coverage isn't friendly...
