Helmut Marko has invested in an AI venture which allows dead people to personally speak at their funerals "This project is using very new technology, mainly AI. So it offers a very unique opportunity for the last will, and also the possibility that the one who died speaks personally at his funeral" [@speedcafe]

IT'S MAXICO RACE WEEK!

A list of events that happened in the US Grand Prix for Red Bull - Poor Start - Subpar strategy - Slow pitstop - Throttle map issue - Inferior Pace Nothing was right at all today.

Isack Hadjar on his throttle issue during the race "...in the pits, we got stuck with a bad pedal map, so basically, it was either 100% throttle or 0%, so it was just undrivable, without that, we weren’t too bad, so it’s just so damn frustrating to throw the podium in the trash like that."
