Formula 1 has been since Bernie took over on the forefront of racing safety. Why grass and gravel traps have been removed past 20 years slowly for bigger runoff areas.

But then those long runoff areas are a result of past 20 years of removing gravel and grass traps. Grass is a launch pad in wet condition and gravel flips the cars.

Truly. Some of the discussion around F1 past weeks is giving me a headache. So many “solutions” that have been tried already past 30 years in F1. Feels like Netflix has brought a influx of new fans to the sport

If that was true the decline would have happened long time ago. I mean Bernie made Formula 1 the global +500 million TV viewership giant alongside by totally overhauling the safety ten steps forward from the 80's and bringing all the restrictions.

And It’s not just high speed. In Germany 18 000km of the 33 000km rail network is electrified and in France It’s around 60%, while places like Switzerland are 100% electrified. 

But the thing is there’s nowhere near enough money in MLS. No MLS team is going to pay 90 million for a 19 year old yet. It’s not even 1/10 there yet and might never be. You don’t see that even in NFL.

Partly yes and partly not. Why Boeing is looking to rename their best selling aircraft. Though, in the end there’s really only other provider, Airbus. There’s 2700 orders for A320Neo and the order book for it goes for years.

Sure, but that 2.2 billion profit and their available net reserves aren’t much for the highest investment cycles car industry has ever seen. The likes of Daimler and VW are making 12-16 billion net annually. Why VW has been able to pour tens of billion to EVs and has still long way to go to burn the $90 billion they…

I found this story of Boris Johnson making and preparing for speeches fascinating. The end “Is this guy for real?“ really is the question.

All said and done Juke did do well though. They were selling over 100 000 of them annually for 6 years in Europe.

When Citröen was doing really bad here in the Nordics some 4-5 years ago there were quite a bit of these in the street. Granted, you did also notice these on the street with bright colors and all. I would have not bought one, but seeing them around actually made me happy. 

It should be said that VW and European manufacturers have very different relations to unions. Unions are not a question if yes/no in Europe, but rather a must. In Germany the union/workers have always a chair in board of directors of companies over 2000 people. This is called Mitbestimmung if you wanna read more about…

There is a complaint process in F1 and Ferrari just did a complaint for this ruling. The teams are also able to discuss the rulings with FIA live via radio when the decision is formed. Teams and FIA also determine the track limits around the practise sessions in meetings, with drivers included. Though, if people don’t…

Though, I don’t think wast majority of global audience even knows Ford takes part or has taken part of any racing. Like mentioned, sounds more like a story of Ford suing Ferrari or something similar.

Nissan can’t do that alone. Renault has 43% of Nissan’s voting rights and Nissan has none on Renault (those 15% don’t include voting rights).

At least around here in Finland where there are no data caps people have been using “mokkula” (USB stick with a SIM) since 3G came to stream videos from local providers in their summer cottages and now mostly Netflix, HBO Nordic and sports.

Feels a bit like Remedy’s Quantum Break in parts. The whole idea was to have the TV tie in with the game and all that. Then Microsoft dropped the whole grand plan of TV stuff and Remedy was left to redone parts of the game and how the story was constructed. Let alone how so many devs were left to dry with the Kinect…

Haven’t visited in US for a decade but reading your comment it seems like Uber is the king in states?

It doesn’t need to be uber. Places like Southeast Asia from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur have Grab that have taken over Uber and the app is just as good as ubers.

Are you from US by any chance? Star Wars doesn’t have that large clout outside US. Not saying Star Wars isn’t out there and huge, but it doesn’t have quite the massive cultural influence in Europe as it does in US. Let alone in places like China.
