watching conclave rn.... i can't believe they made a film about ferrari high level meetings

so many people online think that the famous Charles commentary quote is "Ferrari's favourite sun" when it's obviously "Ferrari's favourite son"

'mclaren haven't won a constructors title in 28 years' stat is so funny. remember that year when mclaren actually scored more points than ferrari in the constructors, and both their drivers were just one point below kimi in the drivers championship... but they were spying on ferrari (copycats forever) and so were disqualified from the constructors and had to pay the biggest fine in f1 history. and this was lewis hamilton's rookie season and also the beginning of fernando alonso's bad career choices spiral... and the espionage was revealed when someone went to a random shop to photocopy the confidential ferrari documents... that just happened to be run by a hardcore ferrari fan who sent an email directly to stefano domenicali...... yeah i wonder why they haven't won a constructors in 28 years hmm

Like I know McLaren’s fanbase is largely quite new to the sport and while that’s brilliant and we love new fans…….if I were a team and my fans started making broad reaching proud statements that brought attention to the cheating scandal that called for my disqualification from the sport…..I’d keep quiet. But they’re McLaren and they’re ontologically evil, so they’re shameless.

Hi sorry I’m not sure if I remember this right but I think you’ve mentioned before that you’re British (I might be misremembering that, sorry 😭) but I was wondering if you could help me out? I’m applying for uni in the UK and I need to decide if my final option is going to be Exeter or Sheffield, and I don’t know anyone at all who’s gone to either one of those 😭😭 Do you have any opinions on these two cities and universities?

I went to uni in the UK yes! I know Exeter better than Sheffield but I’d say to check which is better for your course and which better suits your needs (ie. do you want to be close to an airport? to London? do you value more light in winter?)

Re: uni vibes Exeter has a reputation for being very….rah. It’s not as bad as Durham (hiss hiss) but is a uni that a lot of private school kids go to if they didn’t get into Oxford. Which, I don’t know your situation it might be your scene! But it is something to bear in mind. I’ve heard of contactless signet rings being sighted in Exeter.

Sheffield I know less well since I’ve only been through the city once briefly. It’s very close to Leeds and Manchester which are both major cities, whereas Exeter’s closest city is probably Bristol and is further away. Both are surrounded by beautiful countryside and to be honest, uni is what you make it. Check clubs and societies at the unis and rent prices in each city and see whether you can see yourself living there. And go with your gut. I had a place at Imperial and then went through clearing because I decided I actually couldn’t live in London and the place I ended up I LOVED and ended up bizarrely being a lot better for my career (even if my parents thought I was crazy for giving up Imperial).

Also you said it’s your fifth choice so at the end of the day really go with your initial gut in this one, this is just a back up plan anyway!

People saying that 55 is going to tranform williams to a 2023 redbull because *checks notes* he topped a non representative timing in a testing...

You don't get it it's all about Santander and the evil vibes of the bank and possibly a reciprocal deal with the devil
