  • Come on, people here need to read the article and not just headlines:

    “I don’t know what exactly happened, because if we knew, we would have helped him. But the speed and, above all, this late braking, and then he goes left or right… in these last few years he tried but it was no longer there, the killer instinct was gone.”

    And further

    “[The timing] was related to a variety of factors and obligations,” he explained. “He was informed, and the worthy farewell performance was, I think, the fastest lap.”

    “That still showed what potential he has, not continuously and not at the level that would have justified him coming to Red Bull Racing, but that was an impeccable performance.”



  • He’s the reserve driver for both Mercedes and McLaren, which means he spends a significant amount of time in simulators and occasionally gets test runs in their cars. He’s also done Pirelli tire testing and even had a shootout for Alpine. All done in more recent F1 cars than his Haas days.

    No crashes, no complaints—just praise from several team principals. Steiner crafted a particular narrative around him, but without that, he’d likely be seen in the same light as Drugovich or any other experienced reserve driver familiar with Merc engines.


  • Come on. We are not on reddit, check the facts and make fair assumptions.

    In the second half of his last F1 season Mick was much better than Magnussen and didn’t crash at all. In endurance he had no crashes at all and is besides the fastest driver for Alpine.

    The boy is not the next Verstappen, but a solid driver that shows potentials, a really great team player and is learning from his mistakes. Give him a fair chance and judge afterwards.





  • Modern conservative governance, not just in the UK, has failed to address the significant social, ecological, and economic changes facing our global society.

    Unfortunately, despite these shortcomings, the fear of change and a reluctance to embrace progress ensure that conservatives won’t easily lose elections. It’s a recurring pattern seen not only in the UK but also mirrored globally. The past 13+ years of Tory rule highlight the challenges of an electorate that seems somewhat ignorant and self-centered.




  • Since Ariel Sharon, conservative ideologies have been deeply ingrained in Israeli politics, and Netanyahu’s resignation may not bring about a fundamental shift in this longstanding trend.

    The political landscape has been characterized by continuity, and despite changes in leadership, the core ideologies often persist. The implications for the lives of Israelis and Palestinians might not undergo a substantial transformation.

    Obligatory: Fuck Hamas and Netanyahu
