Are you sure about that? The first one purpose-built as a car-racing track, Brooklands, was not the first oval track by at least 50 years, even if we ignore horse-drawn vehicle racing. Cycle racing used oval tracks, which were then used for motorbike racing when the first motorbikes came along, and some of the ones bui

The Triple Crown wasn’t a thing until Alonso’s publicity team came up with it. Because the three titles aren’t even close to being on the same level.

That’s not how it works. Why is it so hard to understand that large parts of the world operate that system quite satisfactorily? Or to look it up?

Yeah, that’s how it works in the places that have that system. Definitely. 

“Corporate welfare is a zero-sum game”

If Kimi had backed off, Bottas would have slowed down too.

“It was most likely ruled a racing incident because there was little to no damage on Hamilton’s car and Vettel reaped the immediate punish for his mistake.”

Er, that’s exactly how it works. It’s Vettel’s fault, because he tried to carry too much speed and understeered wide into Hamilton. But it’s not the kind of fault that attracts a penalty, because it’s just a racing incident - that is, the kind of minor mistake that happens in close racing.

The race was literally blown away. Can’t believe you missed the chance to say that.

Meanwhile, the fact that one of the UK’s two main political parties is riven by antisemitism every bit as bad as this goes entirely unreported? 

That’s not how it works. The high value work is the design and engineering. More, better jobs for Italy as a result of getting the low-value assembly done elsewhere.

You know the whole Benz story is largely propaganda created in 1930s Germany because the other guy was Jewish, right?

Ah, unintended consequences. Some local authority somewhere in southern Europe - I forget, maybe Portugal - decided to regularise the situation with all the un-permitted construction in the area to keep everything looking nice for tourists.

Trees are nice, and they block sound well, but you really don’t want to hit one. Also, they take decades to grow to a useful size, mostly.

Everyone buying a house ought to have a buying agent. IME even people who have a decent portfolio of investment properties still don’t buy property often enough to be able to do a good job.

Matt black E34 540 estate. Add power. Replace all body panels with carbon fibre copies. Completely stock on the outside, apart from the Mad-Max-style supercharger sticking up through the bonnet.

Apparently he’s been arrested and charged by French police. I have no idea about French law, but with whatever is their equivalent of assault would seem a fair assumption.

No, my far right darlings, it’s called antisemitism. It’s one of the widely accepted forms, right there in the IHRA definition.
