10s became the standard penalty this season after drivers and teams spent much of last season moaning about how teams and drivers were now tactically choosing to accept the 5s penalty and it wasn't a deterrent for dirty overtakes anymore. Norris only got 5s at Austin because the stewards...

McLaren have requested a "Right of Review" of the Norris penalty from Austin. The initial part of the review will be considering if Mclaren have been able to provide new evidence that wasn't available to the stewards before the decision was made. The only thing I can think of here might be if...

:eek: Slight nuance to this after going and looking at the Cricinfo scorecard (was hoping they had commentary, but alas no). WA lost their second wicket at 45. So they actually scored 8 runs for those 8 wickets that fell. The headline has been generated based on when they lost the third wicket...

Yes. Or at least, the indoor cricket rules I played in Australia that is the case. The ball is *always live* unless a wicket has been taken (and confirmed by the umpire). You can actually steal runs if the bowler is stupid enough to turn their back returning to their run up start point. In...

This rumour is now gathering pace ahead of the Mexico GP. Another poor race weekend for Sergio could see more turmoil in the Red Bull camp. RB have been openly talking about possibly replacing Perez for next season, and now that Ricciardo has gone the rumour mill has switched focus. Lawson's...

OK, revised opinion having seen the incident properly now. IMO the stewards got it wrong. Lando was clearly around 1/3 to 1/2 car length ahead deep in the braking zone and on the racing line. Max then rolls off the brakes early and surges in front again as they go into the turn-in for the...

Not a first, but it is rare. Nelson Piquet did it with Brabham in 1983, and Keke Rosberg did it with Williams in 1982. 1983 actually had Ferrari as WCC but the best Ferrari driver was Arnoux in 3rd in the WDC. That's a record that could also repeat this season. With Ferrari back on form...

Looking forward: rumours are starting to swirl that something significant might be afoot for 2025 seats. Talk out of Argentina is that Colapinto might find his way into a 2025 seat, and while the Sauber/Audi seat is the obvious one the specifics that were shared with the rumour (that it requires...

(Before I start ... I've still not seen the race :(. But I know the result and what happened at key moments). I actually think where the stewards got it wrong is that they failed to take account of the rules around what a defending car can / cannot do. Strictly speaking, *both* drivers should...

Not defending him, and glad he'll never fly again ... but for sake of argument: plenty of people who have caused deaths by dangerous driving do do exactly this (want to drive again and have their licence back). So I don't find it particularly surprising that he thought he'd give it a go. (FWIW...

Was hearing recently about a new estate in East Hoathly where (at least some of) the houses have solar, heat pump, and car charger from day 1. Unfortunately retrofitting heat pumps is a right ball ache for older homes. Same. I have a 4 year old Zappi. One of the things I would seriously...

2020 Zoe *should* be the ZE50 version (check to make sure it is!). In which case - lovely car. Just handed mine back after 4 years. Summer range easily over 200 miles (the quoted range is pretty accurate), winter range drops a fair bit depending on your usage (probably more like 160-180 miles)...

It's changed a bit since I had my solar installed (for starters, the Tories killed off the FIT scheme I signed up to [and contractually they're still obliged to pay me for], and the new one isn't anywhere near as good). I originally went with panels only. A year or two later we then added a...

Maybe have a look at Myenergi too. They've started doing a whole-house package - solar for the roof, battery for the house, charger for the car, and diverter for hot water. I've got their Zappi 2 for car charging and it's a good product, and their support is top notch.

Ahhh, that's good news. I'm impatiently awaiting a call to arrange delivery of my new ID3 Pro S 77kW. Last I heard it was due to arrive at the dealer yesterday and they'd be getting in touch to arrange delivery to me as soon as final checks were done.

Waiting impatiently for V2G to be viable. Unfortunately you need more than just the car. You need a bidirectional charge point as well, and there's not many of those available. In fact, there's so few that I decided to wait at least 3 more years before getting a V2G car.

There are EV companies that use battery swap tech. NIO are due to launch in the UK next year, and they're currently busy rolling out battery swap stations in the EU. Tesla trialled it in the US, but they found that US consumers didn't like handing over "their" battery for "someone else's" battery.

It's actually going the other way. New battery R&D discoveries are starting to result in battery tech that no longer needs the rare earth and other nasty materials. Means they are a) cheaper to make, and b) getting less and less of a problem for the environment. I can believe 6 miles per kWh...

I've seen him mentioned a time or two, and could (correctly) recall the sport and position he plays. So I voted "yes" given the wording of the question. But would I have named him if asked about famous sportspeople? Nope, never. For that I would have gone with footballers, Formula 1 / Indycar /...

Yes. Iran are not directly involved. Why ignore the part of my post that also points out I think Israel have also been "heavy handed"? Neither side is in the right over there. Both the Palestinians and Israelis have valid complaints against each other. Equally, both sides have committed acts...
