Thank you to all of you for the immense support we’ve felt this week ❤️ Absolutely gutted we couldn’t bring it home, but that’s racing. Until the next one 🙏
Max is accurate here.
Probably one of the worst elements of the previous PUs was the level of power management involved at points.
Fortunately it did not become the centerpiece of "racing" as such because the electric element was limited,
with the new power units that has been exacerbated,
everything has to be managed all lap because one misstep and you're just bleeding power as a consequence,
This was something Lewis pointed out yesterday, a day prior, Alonso pointed that out,
driving F1 cars while revving them aggressively is not natural and it's not neccessarily something that many would like,
And you know what's the worst part? The way these cars are designed we're looking at a return of significant amount of turbulence!
You can't follow with these cars. Then there's no DRS to help you overtake. And.... the "Overtake" boost is not going to be as effective.
what's the solution to all of this?
Nothing.
Drivers will soon be told to shut up and drive behind closed doors and not mention this again.
Just like they were told to shut up and drive the "back-breaking" ground effect cars for 4 years.
The KDF pallbearers of Raila Odinga's body are of the rank of Major. Their commander is a Lt. Colonel. This has never happened and will NEVER happen. Not even former VPs and VPs will get it. The only difference with those of serving and former presidents is that pallbearers are of the rank of Brigadiers and above. The commander is a Maj. General.
Last night, at a friend’s house party, I bumped into many old friends, prominent businessmen and women, lawyers, and other professionals some of whom I’ve known for years and others I got to know over the course of the evening.
One of the main topics of conversation across the various groups was just how far we’ve regressed as a nation and more so as a city. We found ourselves reminiscing about the old days, from the 80s and 90s to the early 2000s and reflecting on how Nairobi, and Kenya in general, once had a real sense of progress and pride.
We spoke about how we had proper restaurants, bars, and clubs and how the city in many ways felt ahead of its time. Looking back now, it genuinely felt as though we were living in the future. But today, it all feels like a distant dream because none of that remains. It’s only now, having lost it all, that we truly appreciate just how special those times were.
I met several businessmen and women who have since moved on into other ventures like real estate and other investments simply because they said the business environment has deteriorated so badly over the years that it’s no longer worth the stress or the headache, whilst others downsized totally.
What struck me the most was how deeply people still love this country and how painful it is for them to witness the sheer decline.
This morning, I woke up still reflecting on those conversations and decided to take a drive through the city centre. The photos I took tell the story all too well, from Kenyatta Avenue to Westlands, there’s garbage everywhere, open manholes, appalling road conditions and drains filled with stagnant water and filth.
Yet that little boy TakaTaka1 keeps gaslighting us with his childish theatrics and nonsense on social media, claiming that “Nairobi is working.”
It’s absolutely shameful how low we’ve sunk.
The city is in complete disarray, a total mess.
