I wonder if alcohol would have a similar effect, since it also dries stuff out.

I call bullshit. Are you forgetting that Perez is still #2 in the WDC? And can we agree that none of Max's teammates have been able to drive the car, likely because the fact that it rotates around the nose is harder to drive for most people?
Do I like where Checo has finished lately? No. Does he deserve the seat? Absolutely. Hell, he was within one point if Verstappen earlier this year. You MIGHT be blowing this out of proportion. The car is great, but Max is the one that can squeeze the most of out it, whether by design or circumstance. That doesn't make Perez any worse of a driver.
Look at Ricciardo coming from McLaren and jumping into the Red Bull sim. The team said his form was unrecognizable. Lando would probably be TERRIBLE in the Red Bull until he got used to it. Even then, it would likely still suit Max better, meaning Lando would look foolish driving it. They built that car around Max, and it has paid off, but it has also cost a few drivers their reputations, and in some cases their careers.
Perfectly stated. I was surprised Williams was even up there. Maybe this is the start of a Williams turnaround? I certainly hope so. I'd love to see them doing better.
There's definitely a bug in either the back end or the UI that can cause login to fail silently, and that also applies to registration. I don't know what the cause of either bug is, but it would seem that both result in the user getting no feedback. This is definitely frustrating, but also not terribly uncommon in early software. You get the happy path working first.
Overall, the experience hasn't been great, but I can only assume it will improve.
Did they select a language? Mine did the same thing on various instances. I tried a few things at the same time, so I don't know what finally let me register, but I learned a few things in the process.
For example, the most likely explanation is that the username is already taken. The back end fails silently when that happens, and there's already a bug open in GitHub. I figured I'd try a shorter password and selecting a language, and that worked.
Hopefully that helps your friends.
