Why have YouTube adverts suddenly got so long. I could handle the +-15 second ads but now it's continously ads that last a minute or even more. It is incredibly annoying.

If we reintroduce refueling into #F1 we can then have a Green/White/Chequer. That would have been a more satisfactory conclusion to Abu Dhabi in 2021

I think instead of doing 2026 we should be forced to retake 2025 next year and see if we can do a better job second time around.

This year I listened to Bruce more than any other artist by an order of magnitude. This obviously doesn't include the "unofficial" releases I played.

I missed just about every Grand Prix from mid 2005 to mid 2008 due to #F1 going behind a paywall here. Now going to start watching all four seasons.

Schumacher is as much to blame for the '95 Silverstone crash as Hill. Schumacher visibly slowed early going into Priory.Not sure if his intention was to brake test Hill and he wasn't expecting Damon to dive to the inside. I guess we will never know. At the time I blamed Hill but now I'm not so sure.

Wish I could earn a living by just being a general nuisance to everyone
The arrest of Greta Thunberg for peacefully opposing genocide and supporting those on hunger strike is wrongful and disturbing.
This is yet another shocking example of the UK’s broad terrorism laws being used to target those exercising their right to freedom of expression and assembly rights.
