Bullshit. Drivers are drivers, not role models. Why should we expect them to be exemplars of morals, and experts of cultural sensitivity? We don't expect them to be well educated, great parents or philosophers.

Let them drive fast.

“The FIA wishes to further confirm that during the Melbourne event all cars tested against the requirements of Article 3.15.17 and found to comply, therefore all cars raced in Melbourne were deemed to be legal.”

According to the article, and the FIA statement, none are guilty. I assume the "sufficient grounds" is that no-one needs additional time to meet the stricter requirements.

Is it too soon to predict a mid-season swap between Yuki and Lawson, Yuki performs consistent points finishes to be the number 2 Red Bull have been searching for, he remains at Red Bull for many years while Horner loudly grumbles until he retires?

Yeah... Tramnitz is getting a Red Bull seat before Yuki.

It's always constructors standings from the previous season. The difference this year is splitting Red Bull to ensure the drivers champion is last.

On Savage Shores: How Indigenous Americans Discovered Europe by Caroline Dodds Pennock

It's an interesting subject, but not a gripping read. Pushing through to free up a 'currently reading' slot for A Psalm for the Wild-Built by Becky Chambers.

I've never used Storytel so I'm not sure how they compare.
