I wanted to say "Yes", but instead I'll pick splinters out of my backside for a while longer. It's too early to say. I think they're making some brave choices and decisions and facing up to some reality that the Tories ignored for too long. But I also think that 5 years won't be enough time to...

You just need to find a starter pack or two with UK-based feeds and you'll get that algo sorted pretty quick.

Yes, loving Starter Packs. Once you find someone with similar interests who has a starter pack, you can easily fast track getting your feed solid. For example, the exodus from Twitter to Blue Sky in the last week or so has seen a lot of F1 journalists make the transition, and my shift from X to...

1. Won't be having an impact on the second hand market yet. The second hand prices were already struggling to match ICE equivalents well before the rules started, and at the moment the rules are relatively benign compared to what they will be. 2. More likely; but possibly more on the angle that...

There's a Brighton Beach in Brisbane as well. I've been there. It's not worth the visit.

Been using Mastodon for some time (and quite like it personally), but it's not really had the traction - it's more of a niche social still. Just registered for Bluesky, assuming I can find equivalent content to what I've retained my X account for on there I think it's a matter of days before my...

Pretty sure I saw in an article (on the Amsterdam issues) that the reason was because the Turkish government felt the risk of trouble outside the ground was too high. It's more about safety for all concerned than it is about "not allowing" an Israeli team to play inside Turkey.

#2 is an odd one (and I will feedback when it goes in for first service, unless an OTA update fixes it before then). If you're quick, on switch on you can see it has remembered it was in Eco on the last drive then flicks to Comfort after a second or two. I did do a Google and can see others...

I've had my shiny new VW ID3 Pro S for just about 3 weeks now. Salary sacrifice made it affordable. So many nice little features - such as the easy configuration to not charge the battery over 80% unless explicitly requested, which will help preserve battery life long term. It was slightly...

Yep. From what I saw last night (after I posted) it sounds like the relationship between Wittich and MBS has been sour for a while, and MBS has simply been waiting for an opportunity to get rid. Brazil weekend gave him the opportunity potentially - the delay to getting the VSC out in the Sprint...

And the embargoed news was confirmation of a poorly kept secret: there will be an F1 season launch event in London on February 18, attended by all 10 teams and all 10 race drivers. Tickets will be available for fans (bet those won't be cheap).

F1 is having an active news day: 1. Alpine have confirmed they will use Mercedes power units from 2026 onwards, with Renault's PU program being shut down. [Aside: it's been rumoured that Cadillac have bought the IP for the 2026 Renault unit and may seek to use that as leverage in the ongoing...

Ha ha ... yeah. Although in many cases this season our matches were played anyway on some rather damp pitches. Of course, the flipside of what I said about my junior cricket back in Aus was that if the first weekend was rained off, with a compliant opposition you could sneak in a match on the...

NSW grade cricket still using the same format as when I played as a kid, then. That's 35-ish years ago! Nothing quite so frustrating as having a really good batting performance on the first weekend and then seeing the second weekend washed out.

Personally: yes, safe assumption. Think he's done enough already in the 3 races so far. My prediction: - Perez sees out the season. - Post-season announcement that he's leaving the team and won't drive in 2025. Red Bull will give him the opportunity to frame it as retirement, but if he...

ugh

3 race weekends to go. Thought I'd check in on my pre-season predictions... a. He'll be WDC again. b. 8/21 so far, so won't win more than 50% (unless he wins all the remaining races for 11/24 and we then count the sprints as well). c. Not sure how to call the last part! He was cruising before...

Sauber / Audi line up for next year is complete. McLaren have released their junior Bortoleto from his contract, and he's been picked for the second seat alongside Hulkenberg. So another rookie. That leaves us with just 1 seat that hasn't had a driver announced: the second VCARB seat...

Nothing to see with Lando's post-race comments IMO. He said pretty much the same about his win in Miami, where he benefited from the safety car. I suspect he knows deep down Max had the pace to win it anyway, but that job was made a whole lot easier by Max not needing to get past Russell and...

Brazil this weekend, and it's a Sprint race weekend. So it'll be a good one for Norris to maximise. Practice 1 has just finished. And while practice sessions aren't great for predicting the weekend, they do tend to be more accurate for Sprint weekends. So where do they stand ahead of Sprint...
