@rrdionne he did pretty well with it, despite being 5.

About 2/3 of the way through I had to disassemble like 25 steps and insert a piece he had missed, but pretty smooth otherwise.

@steve is that what "papaya rules" means
Show threadI Can't Believe It's Not Zero!Dec 26

@numist McLaren's two drivers this year (Norris and Piastri) were both championship contenders, which led to a somewhat unusual situation where there wasn't a clear #1 and #2 car (well, depending on who you ask), and so the usual "rules" of the #2 driver supporting the #1 driver didn't quite apply. "Papaya rules" is the official nickname for whatever set of guidelines the drivers and team leadership came up with.

Also, an absolute clown show from a leadership perspective, despite winning both the drivers and constructors.

(I am by no means an F1 expert, so hopefully someone will show up to explain it better).

@steve @numist This is right. But it also runs deep [45 minute lecture on the flaws in this process and how they administered it on the altar of ‘fairness’]
