Ahh.... McLaren's Papaya Rules.
The kind of vague brainless nonsense gleamed from YouTube leadership tutorials.
If either Norris or Piastri win the title next week, it will be a victory in spite of the team management, rather than because of it.

Saturday was my first ever bicycle race, a crit at Lee Valley Velopark.
Finished last and lapped five times.
But I finished.
If nothing else, it has given me something to write about.

Enjoyed dropping in to Rouleur Live today and great to finally say "hello" in person to several connections.
Tomorrow at the grand old age of 43, I'll be taking part in my first ever bicycle race on my 13-year-old Cube Agree, so there's that.

As with all pieces, when writing about autonomous racing for The Road Rat, I made an effort to depict the efforts that go into a work.
