Oh yes, that’s certainly obvious immediately, but it’s a bit of a cop-out. I mean, these are 1980s teenagers in a town that’s been going through years of gruesome deaths - the general angst levels must be though the roof. How many of them DON’T have trauma? And yet Vecna conveniently only randomly picks people close…

Winona is comedy gold with everyone (although I find it a bit over-done sometimes, particularly given how useless her entire plot arc is - sometimes feels that they’re loading her up with all the comic relief the other plots need).

But this is irrelevant, because in reality Red Bull’s budget has generally been smaller than Ferrari’s. In 2018, for instance, RB spent around $300M, whereas Ferrari spent around $400M (as did Mercedes).

Ahh, thanks, I think I knew that at one time but had forgotten it!

*rolls eyes*

Speaking as someone who watched this race live: it was fucking amazing. Hill’s engine blowing up has got to be one of the most memorable sporting moments for me.

I don’t see why it would be a disgrace - you can drive as fast or as slow as you like. If nobody else can overtake you, that’s their problem. There’s no obligation to make the race day more enjoyable for other drivers.

They won’t let them race, no. It’s Max 100%. I suspect that even if Perez is ahead, it’ll still be 90% Max until it’s mathematically impossible for him to win.

To be fair, she’s probably a Leclerc fan.

I’m not entirely clear what your point is. Ferrari are also a private company. Ferrari have generally had a bigger budget than Red Bull over the last decade (and obviously vastly bigger before that). If Ferrari does not have strong strategists, the question should be ‘why’. Because it’s not like most of their mistakes…

Speaking of which: what on earth are Haas doing to their chassis? In recent times, I’ve seen exactly two F1 cars literally split in half in a crash, and BOTH of them have been Haas. Once seems like misfortune, but twice...

How are they so bad at this!?

Absolutely - Sainz made a race-winning call, it’s just that Ferrari pitted him to exit into traffic. [which, to be fair, can be hard to avoid at Monaco]

“Graphic violence involving children” seems to basically be their vision statement for the show. There’s another child (admittedly older) tortured to death later the same episode, and another one the episode after that, plus flashbacks to the first one because there wasn’t enough tortureporn the first time around,…

Oh, I didn’t have any problems with the pace (well, no problems that can’t be fast-forwarded through occasionally), and I like the inventiveness of the season structure and the willingness to put the cliffhanger where they feel it needs to be. It’s just that I want Stranger Things to be creepy with a side of menace,…

Only a few episodes into it, but... eh. The review here says, “Easily the most exciting aspect of season four is how it embraces gore like never before. Even the show’s harshest critic will be swayed by that” - but that assumes that viewers are really excited by sadistic gore, and I’m just... not. The sadism has never…

The ‘peak’ was meant to be of quantity, not of quality. I guess we may have passed the peak technically, but only because everything’s moved to streaming...

And the “yet” (and Howard not refuting it) confirm that doc review was only intended to be a temporary disciplinary measure. It’s weird how many people here seem to think that it’s unconscionably evil for anyone’s boss to impose any sort of discipline on them for obvious bad behaviour at work...

Reached into his own savings to pay of Chuck when this episode implies he was (or this made him) heavily in debt...

It’s a nice subversion of the old “allegedly intelligent person point-blank refuses to explanation that actually does kind of make sense if you think about it”. Cliff’s a smart guy. He knows this is all very weird, he knows Jimmy’s not someone to trust, he knows Howard has until recently seemed smart and in control. I…
