Oh, was it Bengt Holmström? I’ve had honor to attend couple of his lectures in Helsinki university.

He is clearly likes his cars, but how petty can one be to make Ferrari not giving you a car that’s customers are selected such a big public thing?

...and?

Yet it has bigger following and more hours put into it by individuals than any other big release you can name this year. I didn’t know great games are reserved to be story driven single games?

Keke said some years ago they had an agreement with his son to not appear on most races.

Could have not said it better. In the Messi vs Ronaldo discussions Messi is painted as the natural raw talent and Ronaldo as the hard working one. No matter how much of a difference there actually is, it is true that Ronaldo is a total workaholic and the type that will do anything to be the best.
