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.

The #1 movie when you were 10 years old is how your 2026 is going to go.
I see it was released on my 10th birthday. The only movie I have ever watched twice on the big screen (both on it's original release).
