Sounds like F1 will start experiencing negro fatigue soon.

So much for sportsmanship. The also-ran’s are eating their own. I doubt Max is seeing any humor in this. /s/

Hamilton said that Aston Martin's car is half Mercedes, but they've designed a better car out of the parts.

I can see Toto talking to Lewis, “you know Lewis, Ferrari fired their seven time F1 driver champion, Schumacher. So do you really think using Ferrari as a negotiating position is going to help your position?”

Did someone piss in hammybuttboi’s corn flakes ?

[Chorus]
It’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to
Cry if I want to
You would cry too if it happened to you

[Verse 1]
Nobody knows where my Toto has gone (Toto has gone)
But Angela left the same time
Why was he holding her hand
When he’s supposed to be mine?

[Chorus]
It’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to
Cry if I want to
You would cry too if it happened to you

[Verse 2]
Play all my records, keep prancing all night (Prancing all night)
But leave me alone for a while
‘Til Toto’s prancing with me
I’ve got no reason to smile

[Chorus]
It’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to
Cry if I want to
You would cry too if it happened to you

[Verse 3]
Angela and Toto just walked through the door (Walked through the door)
Like a Drag Queen with her king
Oh, what a birthday surprise
Angela’s wearin’ his ring

[Outro]
It’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to
Cry if I want to
You would cry too if it happened to you
Oh-oh, it’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to
Cry if I want to
You would cry too if it happened to you
It’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to
Cry if I want to

https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.ferrari-confirm-charles-leclerc-will-be-hit-with-grid-penalty-for-saudi.2TMC3MUCnDCBgZQahmyLuC.html

Charles Leclerc will have his work cut out in this weekend’s Saudi Arabian Grand Prix after his Ferrari team were forced to fit another control electronics power unit component, which in turn triggers a grid penalty.

Ferrari replaced the Energy Store and Control Electronics on Leclerc’s engine before the season opening Bahrain Grand Prix. The Monegasque then retired when in contention for a podium behind the two Red Bulls.

As teams are only permitted to use two control electronics components per season without penalty, Leclerc’s move to a third for race two in Jeddah ensures he will have at least a 10-place grid drop this Sunday – and potentially more if they replace any other parts – and increases the chances of him taking a further penalty later in the season.

“On Sunday, we had two different issues,” said Ferrari Team Principal Fred Vasseur when talking to selected media on Wednesday. “The first one was on the Sunday morning, when we did the fire up, and the second one was in the race. Unfortunately, it was two times the control unit, the ECU.

“It’s something that we never experienced in the past. I hope now it’s under control, but we have a deep analysis on this. Unfortunately, we’ll have to take the penalty in Jeddah, because we have only a pool of two control units for the season.”

After Baku last year, Ferrari were forced to run their engine at lower power to reduce the risk of failure. However a lot of work went into durability over the winter and while they encountered problems in Bahrain, Vasseur added they do not intend to reduce power in the coming races as a precaution.

They write he was heading to his £165k McClaren, which is about $200k.

That may be the MSRP on the interwebs, but you ain’t getting one for that.

The watch looks uniquely distinctive (if not ridiculous).

Who would want such an item enough to buy from a fence or thief?

Any number of low life drug dealers, I suppose. For much less than legitimate value.
