This race had it all. It has been a while since I’ve seen podium place being snatched on the finish line. Can’t actually remember the last time.

I think you put this better in words than me. Whatever people here talk about Ferrari, I find they have done done amazing job to keep the halo effect well over their main competitors over the years. It’s still very much Ferrari and the others in broad strokes in their segment.

I think there is the still deep down the feeling among Americans that every small car=econobox. While around here A class is driven by every single social class. Not quite as wide spectrum as Golf, but almost there.

If anything those two episodes are quite telling how far soccer has moved in states between that time frame. In any case weather we like the sport or not doesn’t matter in the bigger picture.

That doesn’t sound even remotely Swedish.

Just wanna say I totally agree with you.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with pointing out F1 to be at the top on the food chain. Just like NHL is hockey’s global money league.

Ah, you are right. I’m confusing tablets and laptops, but it tends to specify laptop on the warnings signs before security.

Aren’t bigger than phone electronics needed to be pulled out to separate trays in US as it is? Haven’t flown to US for almost a decade.

So good. Only snooker beats on the “it’s after midnight and I’m at the bottom of my sofa” sports. It’s relaxing and still engaging. Snooker and darts was the reason I kept paying for my cable package I had for years. I wish my current package still had Eurosports.

Hah, makes sense. Similar to us Finnish-Swedes essentially speaking some old timey Swedish alongside Finnish and keeping up fiercely on certain cultural aspects. Keeping up with the traditions while the motherland moves on.

Where in earth did you find Lutefisk outside Nordics? As a Finnish-Swede I’ve never seen it anywhere in the capital area in Finland. Though, seen it being sold in Northern Finland.

I’m not totally sure I get your reasoning. Toyota were no dummies either, but they had largest budget ever in F1 and still sucked for 7 seasons. Before running way.

No “HAROOOOO” from Ross? I’m disappointed.

They wont face much in EU. Most of it was allocated already with the late last year and shareholders seem to agree looking at their market value. Shareholders are likely at least ok with VW’s situation seeing they posted 4.7 billion operating profit last quarter.

You could as well say that Tesla was alone with its own plug standard. CCS is a strong contender to become the global standard and has pretty much all the big manufacturers behind it now. Tesla finally joined to CCS group late last year as a member.

Came out of nowhere.

That’s exactly what it is all about to me. Snooker or darts late at night is something I can watch for hours when in right mood.

I’ve been there once and will be again this year. Shame it will be replaced considering how cheap the place is to attend a race even after flights from Europe.

One should absolutely visit places like Koh Lanta or Koh Tao. They are amazing places for relatively cheap, while on the expensive side in Thailand.
