Doubt it. They have just changed the organizational structure and with rule change the last thing they need is more instability.

He is not there to handle technical side. He is there to keep spirits high and have them work hard.

Alonso has said and done quite a lot of things that make very little sense (ex. switch to McLaren) so the statement about Lewis’ driving prowess is hardly a fact. MOst recently he had said Ricciardo is best driver among current crop because a. the amount of mistakes he makes and b. he beat Vettel when they were…

Your complaint would have more merit if this vehicle is not offered at steep discount.

If only someone would keep him from adding value to the conversation.

“what does global warming have to do with VW’s cheat”

He was trying to be funny and vent his political frustration(s). Cut him some slack :)

Reading of a teleprompter is high on the requirements list too.

It looks like out-of-nowhere young and hungry protege (or a hands-on leader himself) of a Secret International Evil organization. Such organization had identified a loophole in the regulations and poured its significant know-how and resources into exploiting it.

Once the protege wins and gains mass popularity the…

Lookin’? Brave you are.

The odds are ZILch. Could it be as simple as he run out of GAZ?

“Doesn’t Mini have the most sold manuals by percentage of car sales right now?”

Don’t remind me :)

“To me the biggest example of a niche market maker is Subaru.”

Mini, Tesla/Prius and for those with penchant for running into crowds Ford Mustang :)

“It is not long for a world becoming (albeit, in fits and starts) more informed and reasonable.”

“new CPO”

Do tell :)

Not sure but it has everything to do with Mr. Trump. EVERYTHING!

“It would have been all the more embarrassing for Ferrari.”

Only if their target demographics encompasses a blogger with a low IQ, Prius owner and an accountant.

“But it is still the fastest. And the easiest to drive, dd-able. I would call that “a kick in the butt”.”

If only every track in the world has the same layout and, more importantly, none of us use eyes or ears to enjoy a particular car.

“There’s a bunch of teslas that I pass on my way to work, and I cut in front of them all the time.”

I was on the receiving end about a month ago. A brand new white model X cut across two lanes to get ahead of me. Now I know what you are thinking right now, did he have his turn signal on? The answer is no.

Somewhat…

“And another example of how Mr Trump has no idea what he is talking about. He isn’t wrong about some of our allies around the world needing to contribute more, such as Germany (1.2% of GDP), Italy (1.3% of GDP), and Spain (0.6% of GDP!!!). But South Korea does not belong on the naughty list. Their defense is 2.6% of…

“at least a year before I poke my head out and make sure nobody’s started pressing big red buttons?”

You should look into a lease instead :)
