even ahead of Max Verstappen when driving identical car parts
Too bad you destroyed your car then.


They left Red Bull because they didn’t want to fund a works engine program. Then their actions forced Red Bull to set up RBPT and because Honda wasn’t interested in shared development, they went away and took Stoll’s money instead.


Honda wanted full control over the design and development of the engine so a deal was not reached.
And how was my comment unfair to Honda when they were the ones who declined the RB deal?


That was basically a branding deal after the idiots at Honda acted only as fully paid contractor. That’s why the 2022 engine was called Red Bull RBPTH001 and the only reference to Honda is the H in the model number.


Honda announced they were walking away, but they never did.
Well, engine development was shut down for quite some time. The Sakura crew was reassigned to different areas within Honda, so these people were still available but the UK crew was transferred to Red Bull. A new UK base was only reopened in 2024: https://honda.racing/post/honda-racing-corporation-hrc-establishes-a-new-formula-one-base-in-the-uk
The majority of the 2026 Honda engine for Aston Martin is developed by Honda/HRC in Japan and HRC USA (formerly HPD, Honda Performance Development): https://hondanews.com/en-US/honda-racing/releases/release-63b0bd89adfbb0b817837ec2c5000f6e-honda-racing-corporation-usa-launches (no idea about the workload share since HRC UK has reopened)


I see it without the Honda more often than with
Then you didn’t look properly. The Honda logo is quite big:

I thought that Red Bull bought the whole operation and Honda haven’t really been involved at all for the last few years?
No, wrong. Never been the case. Honda builds the engines and owns all intellectual properties. UK facilities (where the hybrid unit was at least partially developed) were about to be closed by Honda and Red Bull took it over. That’s it and that’s why Lawrence Stroll could throw money at Honda to convince them to return.


Generative works cannot be copyrighted
While that is generally true, a derivative work of a copyrighted work is usually copyrighted by the original author (see remixes of music where the remixer only partially owns a copyright for the remix but the original artist does as well). That is what makes generative AI so risky. A court could order “This is a automated modification of work XY, thereby the full copyright lies with the author of work XY.”


Then use a free OFL-licensed font. Or cooperate to commission your own fonts to share among this consortium.
Really a non-issue if you’re not stupid.


Honda announced they were walking away and, IIRC, RB was scrambling to build their own factory and were going to make their own engines, with Black Jack and a hookers!
And that’s their 2026 engine, partially paid for by Ford who are allowed to stick their blue oval on it in a branding deal – the marketing blah blah is that it’s co-developed by Ford and RB but that completely false. Red Bull set up Red Bull Powertrains, bought Honda’s UK hybrid unit development center with all personnel and poached mostly from Mercedes way before Ford was in the picture. RB, Ford, F1TV, and Sky F1 will repeat this lie constantly but the fact is that for the upcoming Ford Hypercar in World Endurance Championship Ford needs Red Bull’s help and not the other way around which is why that hypercar is being developed in the UK with the help of Red Bull Advanced Technologies and Red Bull Powertrains (Ford cannot build anything more powerful that the Ford Mustang GT3 and even that needed lots of help from Multimatic).
A few years ago Red Bull successfully lobbied for an engine freeze. That’s why Honda could assemble a bunch of new engines without any need to develop it further.


Aha, didn’t know they still had a contract
Who did you think provides their 2025 engines?



Again?
This is a joke, right?



That happened a while ago though.
The announcement happend years ago but the contractual relationship is still ongoing until the end of this year.
He was given the chance to drive the impossible second seat and failed like everyone else.
Realistically he would have needed to do an absolutely outstanding job for Red Bull to not fire him. He’s only in that seat because Honda is paying for it. Same with reserve driver Iwasa.
Red bull is not interested in any Honda agents in their factory after Honda decided that they like being paid by Aston Martin more.


Are they bringing Mika back??
He’ll probably fill the McLaren seat after Piastri had enough of Papaya Rules.


sadly no seat for Tsunoda.
He’s a paid Honda driver and Honda decided to sever ties to Red Bull.


No, Fuchsia is a completely new OS, not using the Linux kernel at all.


damn, I was fine turning it down before finding out it had AI at the core.
“AI at its core” is a BS marketing phrase. Obviously there is no AI in the actual operating system core.


(not super important but overlooked here) The “horse” is a woman
I’m sorry for accidentally misgendering a grown adult who’s still naked with a young girl riding on top. I guess that triggers a different fetish then.
(definitely important) The scene was only an unfinished scene still being worked out
True but they still thought it was a great idea to depict this scene and then only change their minds not because they realized their mistake but because it works better with an adult doing the riding story-wise.
I definitely think Valve should have handled this more fairly.
The reviewer asked for a playable copy after being unsure from screenshots and text alone. I think that’s pretty fair.
And the US are a base of Iran ally Russia.
