It happened in Luxembourg, not Belgium. You would need a gun licence but its not that difficult to get one in most places in western Europe. 

Well you’d be wrong. Verstappen had actually been off his line for the entire lap. Verstappen saw Hamilton (you can see it on the video), then he cut right and then left. Even all the stuff about Hamilton missing the apex is nonsense, he wasn’t remotely on right lock.

Will you just stop constantly looking at everything about race through an American lens. Here’s a test. You can do it yourself, right now. Go on to LinkedIn, pick an F1 team, Mercedes, Red Bull, whatever. And count names. Its not perfect because not everyone will have photos, but names are a decent enough proxy,…

Nice weasel words there. The UK is indeed 14% “non-white”, but 2/3 of that number is Asian people (specifically south Asian) and there isn’t a problem with representation of that group in F1; quite the reverse in fact. 

Having seen a couple of these now (although I’ve only seen the 110), some thoughts:

They do a version like that in the UK, but I’m not sure whether its going to be sold in the US. 

I saw a new Defender the other day and it was very handsome. It looks a lot better in person than it does in pictures. 

Was he over the drink driving limit? The article doesn’t say. 

The gap is vast, in other words, making me think that the shift to electric will be pretty violent.

It’s a bit dull innit? I don’t think the half-4 series, half i-type design works, inside or out (even ignoring the grille). The iX integrates the long info screen into a cohesive cabin design, this is sort of balanced on top of a 4-series cabin and they don’t really work together. Outside if you don’t look at the…

While the latest F-Pace is vastly improved over the old one, especially inside, where its gone from also-ran to real contender, the biggest challenge is always going to be, you walk into a JLR dealer and right alongside the F-Pace is the Velar, which is essentially exactly the same car in a classier suit.

This is what happens when you have to pander to ingrained cultural preferences rather than sensible engineering. If you’re going to make an electric work vehicle, don’t base it on the least aerodynamic configuration possible. That’s how you end up with 230 miles of range, which even I, as a dirty furriner, know is…

That doesn’t mean it’s impossible for working class people to get in. Case-in-point: Hamilton, Albon, Senna, etc...

1. There are still some priorité à droite roundbouts in random places in France (where I assume they couldn’t change it for some reason) but its reasonably rare now I think.

Totally agree. EVs create amazing new packaging opportunities and the author is praising this because its basically a slightly sharper looking RAV-4? While maybe we shouldn’t be expecting Toyota of all companies to be avant-garde in the EV design space, they do have some form in innovative packaging (remember the…

I don’t know why people are getting freaked out by the e-tron naming convention; Audi has previous form here with Quattro.

Its because EVs almost never use their brakes, especially the rears, because of one pedal driving, so manufacturers are actually finding rear discs are seizing up through lack of use. Less of an issue with drums. 

The ID4 is VW’s electric Tiguan.

Always had a soft spot for Guzzis because my late father had a Le Mans 850 back in the day, and I always lusted after it (I was too young to ride it under British licence laws when he had it). The cafe racer mentioned in the article might hark back to that. Tempting. 

They explained it in the episode. During the blip people migrated to new countries for work (the implication was they were often incentivized); everyone came back and they were thrown on the street. I would also imagine vast swathes of housing were left to rot as un-needed after the Blip (Endgame certainly shows that…
