he he😁

I have to admit—I’m feeling a tiny bit of jealousy here... though there’s really no reason for anyone to be upset, since your little probe will get its turn too 😁

Besides, what does a Mercedes's engine matter to a lander? Just think about it for a second—you know, with the solar panels and all that stuff

I was honestly just trying to find something interesting to pass the time before the next race—something I thought might engage everyone—but you guys jumped right on me. *Sniff.*

They’ll arrive at Mars together—it’s all part of the same mission, after all. The Mars Express is just the orbiter meant to circle the planet, while the Beagle 2 lander is the one actually touching down on the surface.

So, essentially, your color will be circling Mars above, while the McLaren lander settles right onto the ground.

It looks like Ferrari will be watching from the sidelines once again as McLaren takes the win.

To reiterate:

red wins, haha 🙏 you guys are the best

A red bottle, seriously? Hahaha. 🙏

Austin Evans, you’re killing me.

Are you really comparing a plastic bottle to the engineering behind a lander???

Hahaha.

Besides, our lander launched three months later and it's scheduled to arrive right on Christmas—whereas yours arrives "around Christmas." At this rate, we might even be the first to 😁

Talk about mission planning—landing "around Christmas"—as if Jean Todt were the one calling the shots.

A red bottle... hahaha 🙂

THE ROVER IS HEADING FOR MARS
The Mars Perseverance Rover is officially en route—following a flawless launch from the USA on June 2.

As part of The NASA Mission to explore Mars, tag McLaren Group companies Has been heavily involved in The Project. The requirement was for an impact-resistant body shell and working with team McLaren Mercedes official Supplier, the Advanced Composites Group, engineers developed materials light and tough enough to survive a landing hit at 45mph. They even had to hold up against temperatures dipping to minus 70 degrees.

The Rover launched at 11:45 PM local time on June 2—hitting its interplanetary orbit just an hour and 32 minutes later. It’s going to be cruising at speeds over 19 miles/s during this 400 million kilometer trek across the solar system.

The Mars rover will touch down in The Isidis Planitia basin of Mars early on December 25, 2003 and will Use probes and a sensitive internal laboratory to search for signs of water and Life on The red planet.

McLaren is conquering space. Ferrari fans—deal with it. 🙂

Maybe they can run through tire warmers and similar prep before qualifying—and there’s always that dedicated warm-up lap—but once the race actually starts, that luxury disappears. They really have to be careful during those opening laps while the track is still crowded.

Well, there it is... it finally happened.

Just wait until the MP-18 finally arrives
There’s absolutely no way MS stands a chance!
I swear, it’s like my sisters said...😁

Congratulations—and I hope you have many children🙂

I’ll be sure to offer my congratulations as well.—it’s truly well-deserved.👋

👍

Charles Martin78—consider this my way of treating you to some strawberry pie

From what I can see—and I’ve been following this closely—CV33 isn't really an opponent to you; they're more of an ally.

It seems like every single thread lately gets boggedted down by this endless back-and-forth—you know, the friction between Blackbird (is it McCoy??) and Melissa Myers5, or the tension between Blackbird and CV33. So, I’m starting this thread as a dedicated space where they can settle their scores without interruption—and we can all vote on who actually comes out on top😁

While I’m not usually one to defend MS and I tend to agree with Q-master, I think they missed the mark this time—honestly, every suggestion being floated right now is just nonsense, much like what Elizabeth Hughes said!

In my view, the real driver behind the contract reduction is a simple lack of cash—specifically, the fact that Fiat, as the lead entity at Ferrari, is facing serious struggles. It's similar to seeing mass layoffs at a massive steel mill in the Midwest; they're patching holes, canceling certain models or development phases, and slashing budgets. It probably finally dawned on someone that it doesn't look good to hand MS such a massive paycheck while simultaneously laying off 6,000 workers. They likely decided to trim Schumacher's pay slightly just so they could tell the staff, "Look, even Schumacher is taking a hit, so stop complaining and wait your turn." Besides, MS will probably bridge the gap between the old and new contract through sponsors and endorsements—so he won't actually lose out.

It feels to me like this is just a small precursor to what's coming for the entire Italian auto industry—and by extension, Ferrari—which is total collapse. They’ve simply fallen behind technologically; their cars are stunning from a design standpoint, but in terms of pure build quality, they lag behind the Japanese and Germans. To make matters worse, their production costs are significantly higher than everyone else's.

This might sound a bit dramatic or overstretched, but if you look back at the corporate collapses here in the US, it turns out the biggest losers often manipulated their numbers to look like winners—but you can only do that for so long. And frankly, the Italians are far more cunning manipulators than Americans (though they certainly do it with style), so it seems highly probable that the situation at Fiat is much grimmer than reported. Plus, how is the war in Iraq going to impact all of this?

Regardless, it looks like better days are ahead for McLaren and Williams.

Well, looks like we have a new face around here. I guess I’m not the rookie with the shortest tenure anymore—😁

So, you aren't a Ferrari fan, right?🙂
And you aren't exactly a fan of Microsoft—Elizabeth Hughes, calm down, I'm talking about the tech giant, not the racing body😁
Instead, you're pulling for McLaren👍 🙏 👍

Anyway, enjoy the forum—and watch your back; people say Elizabeth Hughes is out for blood—at least, that's what they say

It seems to me that people who can’t stand Ford actually have quite a soft spot for NASCAR. But honestly—wherever they went, they haven't been seen in ages😢 ???

I find myself missing them—though I suppose if I were a Ford fan now, I'd be changing my tune😁

This is my first time setting up a poll—so please bear with me if I mess anything up.
