According to a quote from Sky Sports, Horner is still employed by Red Bull, I guess he's been put on gardening leave?

Yesterday, I was informed by Red Bull that operationally I would no longer be involved with the business or the team moving forward.

I will still remain employed by the company, but, operationally the baton will be handed over.

In other news, water is wet. (nobody is surprised that Apple would fight this fine)

I pretty much agree with you: I was blown away by the driving sequences (which are very reminiscent of 1966 Grand Prix), but god, the writing was terrible.

I winced so many times at the inconsistencies regarding rules and strategy (which is baffling given Ruth Buscombe, Bernie Collins and Will Buxton are credited as consultants, as well as Lewis and Toto as Executive Producers!). The blatant cheating from Pitt's character is stupid, appalling and neither the driver and his team faced any consequences, it should have earned him at least a black flag.

And the characters... they are all so shallow and their arcs are static until the penultimate race. In that aspect, Gran Turismo was a better driver movie.

They kinda did with Deepseek out of necessity to circumvent the import restrictions on AI chips. But this model is very pro-China (it has lots of censorship built in)

So that's now 8 points between Piastri and Norris. Bring it on!

Verstaspin

This. I have been using it a lot lately to manipulate CSVs, it is such a godsend.

Couple of red flags at the end: Bearman losing some body work, then right after the session resumed, Bortoletto had a spin which ended the session early.

In addition I would advice to scroll all the way down, as nowadays most media is lazy-loaded.

I guess the only appeal of third-party browsers on iOS is synchronization with their desktop counterparts. Maybe ad-blocking if the capability is offered (I'm not so sure about this one)

AI bros are trying really hard to convince people that their parrots can be useful in business settings.

Zay-toon is also common in languages from the Iberic Peninsula: both Spanish and Portuguese got it (and a few other words) from Arabic.

Who the fuck announces a product on a Sunday? They must not have much hope this will sell...

I 100% agree with your advice.

I tried learning Portuguese with Duolingo, in a couple of months I only managed to learn words, but no grammar. I fared better with Babel, which has more structured courses, but since there was no accountability, I wasn't diligent and did not progress much. Finally, I enrolled in an evening class and in the span of 4 months my level went from "I barely know the basics" to A1.2

Also, as others mentioned, consuming content in said language and conversing (even online) helps a lot (that's how I honed my English), having a pen pal is even better.

I've always used OVH, never had problems with them. They also offer emails for pretty cheap.

Let's just hope for him that the Alpine lasts the entire 24 hours this time

Telegram are being paid by xAI to use their product? Isn't it supposed to be the other way around?

"The Monaco event has been amazing" Domenicali stressed. "We never had so many people, so many boats, so much attention. That means that the event itself is what Formula 1 wants, and that is really areat"

Domenicali brands the Monaco GP as an open-air festival for the rich, so of course it was a success to him. As long as tickets were sold, he could not care less that it wasn't entertaining as a sport.

Red Bull were hoping for a late red flag to be able to do the mandatory second tire change without any lapntime loss. Instead they had to pit at the penultimate lap in order to avoid disqualification.

That was weird to see almost no track evolution. And with the C6 being once again not that quicker than C5 and complicated to get in its operating windows, I have no idea how Qualifying will unfold.
