Iran doesn’t acknowledge Israel, in fact it openly seeks its destruction. Apparently in January Saudi Arabia was in talks with Israel that were thought to be leading to public acknowledgement, our enemies enemy is our friend etc. That has been thrown into disarray now to Iran’s advantage...

This seems odd. The drones are chugging their way accross Iraq currently so their appears to be no element of surprise. Is this as suggested for some time low tech attack to deplete Iron Dome of missiles? Will they be followed up by ballistic missiles when the IDF missile defence is busy...

For Hamas food is also a good way of leveraging the local Gaza population to do what they want.

2 more Russian warships damaged off Crimea it seeems. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-68648815

Thanks, that confirms what I’d already seen tbh. I thought I might be missing something. It seems a bit daft that there isn’t a peak version, although it would probably be quite expensive.

Pre Covid when I commuted from Wigan to Manchester by rail and bus I would buy GM County cards, eventually annual. It was very convenient. Is there anything similar for single day use? At a glance there doesn’t seem to be, county cards are weekly, monthly, annual it seems. It needs to include...

They have occasionally had people presenting remotely if they aren’t available to travel. I can remember DiResta, Davidson doing this and Rosberg when he was banned from the paddock for his anti vax stance. The build up is probably reduced because of the unsocial timing for the European audience.

As I understand it dad Dimitri appears to be Nikita’s major backer by sponsorship via his company Uralchem and its subsidiaries. Dimitri has been regularly seen with Putin. Dimitri has been reported to be sniffing around F1 for some time, even trying to buy several teams to create a strollesque...

Happy to be wrong in this case :D

https://warontherocks.com/2024/03/fearing-their-officers-more-than-the-enemy-summary-executions-from-george-washington-to-ukraine/ Motivating the troops, Russian style… I can’t imagine how a leader who had lived and trained with a group of guys would then choose to execute some to motivate the...

Agree completely. The tone of the articles must be massively frustrating for the people that manage these projects. I assume the BBC isn’t going to follow up its fake news with “closure of the M25 for major maintenance goes as planned with as little disruption as possible”… A few months ago...

And Magnussen, Stroll and Perez. Too much dead wood for such a small field. F1 needs at least 2/3 more teams, Indycar manages to accommodate 30 cars on road/street courses shorter than Monaco... At least then there would be the potential for more driver churn and opportunities for young drivers.

Solid performance from Bearman today especially with hardly any prep on a totally unforgiving track. Never settling for position either, quite of few overtakes but nothing leary. He did look handy in F2 last year though, if a bit inconsistent. Hard to believe he’s only starting his 5th season...

I’m sure he’d like that to happen but the public confirmation of suspension of the complainant just raises more questions. There have been rumours since the leaked “evidence” that payoffs, 6 figures, were being floated and Mrs Horner was desperate to get the complainant out of the team. Maybe...

Interesting thanks. I had imagined that Horner had some ownership rights over the team and RB technology, it seems he’s just an employee. It was always stated that Marko was Matechitz’s “representative” within the team so him being a board member makes sense.
