@juanfayora@autosport Yes, agreed - it was a good business decision.
Their share price after the announcement rose by more what he cost them.
Hamilton transcends F1 - even if he doesn’t win, this is a good move by Ferrari!
@ted_pen We’re fortunate that the person who was able to remember the music happened to be a talented musician with links to the music industry.
If it had been an office middle-manager with no musical ability whatsoever it could have been a very different outcome.
@AndyatAuto I initially thought that a PHEV would be best of both worlds, but I now realise it’s worst of both!
You’re either driving it like an EV whilst carrying an engine around, or driving it like a ICE car whilst lugging a huge battery around!
@BeardedGenius I went to watch the F1 at Silverstone in 2008.
After practice I texted everyone I knew who had any interest that they should watch out for a young lad called Vettel in the race.
He crashed at the first corner 🙁
Did OK after that though.
@Dodgerofsalad @fesshole The Valkyrie is not the only Aston worth £2m.
The One-77 and Vulcan are both worth £2m+ (although they have said it’s old so none of these fit that description!)
@AlexBrundle Yes, but - I understand the appeal of getting rid of consistently poor teams, but would we have risked losing Williams and McLaren in recent years, who each had 3+ seasons at the back.
@Crownfall@CityFibre This is an exact account of my issues tbf!
CityFibre haven’t been able to connect me, but they won’t talk to me as I’m not their customer, Vodafone are.
Vodafone having to act as middle-man between me and CF!
@CityFibre please can you let me know whether your engineers work at weekends?
New fibre was half installed today, but engineers had problem so said they’d be back in 2 hours, but I had to be at home for them.
They haven’t come back, so not sure whether I wait in all weekend?!
@virtualstatman I get it, and understand the need for safety.
But also, feel there’s a bit of a Catch 22 situation, where no one wanted to pit for Wets for fear of losing positions before a red flag, meaning drivers were on Inters for too long making it more dangerous and a red flag more likely!
Just been to @Tesco and bought some frozen @pret croissants for lunch.
When I got home I thought they smelt a bit odd. Turns out they are 3 months out of date 😫 🥐
@JamesGHBray@MattP1Gallagher This!! I’ve been an F1 fan for 30 years - there’s some drivers / teams I like more than others, but in general I just like the sport. And yeah, a result for an underdog is always well received!
It’s like watching Match of the Day even though your team isn’t in the Prem 😆
