So with the 2025 driver moves hotting up, thought I'd start a tracker. Driver names in bold are theoretically locked in by contract already. Red Bull 1. Verstappen (contract to 2028; but if Red Bull implodes he'll go early) 2. Perez (out of contract after 2024); Ricciardo (needs to up his form...

Hulkenburg has signed for Sauber/Audi from 2025: https://www.the-race.com/formula-1/nico-hulkenberg-first-audi-f1-driver-haas-exit/ And rumours have emerged that Gasly is in talks with Williams. My own interpretation of this is that the Alpine drivers know that Alpine are likely to promote...

Conflicting report / rumour that this may simply be a case of Newey telling RBR he won't be renewing his contract (which expires at the end of 2025). So he may not be going anywhere immediately. But if his intent is to go to another F1 team post-RBR, it's likely he'll be placed on gardening...

Beat me to it. It's exploded all over the F1 press - and we're not talking the press who are willing to take risks. IMO he's leaving, no doubt about that. The question will be where to? From here, the next thing to watch for is any change in Verstappen's approach once this gets confirmed. The...

I saw an article a while back re: Brighton's 20mph zones and enforcement. From memory there was a quote from the local police to the effect that enforcing it wasn't cost effective. Partly because their view was that in an awful lot of the 20mph zones it simply wasn't possible for anyone to speed...

Five races in the bank, and with rumours re: Sargeant's future emerging (see above), I thought it might be a good time to take a look at how my pre-season predictions are standing up. Those predictions were: 1. Yep, think this will pan out. Suspect there will be more races later this season...

A rumour has started swirling that Logan Sargeant's last race with Williams might be the upcoming Miami GP. Joe Saward has speculated that he'll be replaced by Mercedes' young protege Kimi Antonelli from Imola. I would assume this would be in a bid to prepare him to fill Hamilton's seat at...

To be fair to the Tories, as much as they opposed the original 20mph default for all the wrong reasons, I believe the current plans to revert (not everywhere, is my understanding) is because they've (not the Tories) realised they went too far with the across-the-board 20mph imposition and that...

Either way, they're a bunch of stinkers that add nothing to the benefit of the rest of us.

I would not be surprised if we see a sequence like this as the year progresses: * First Rwanda flight is booked. * Those scheduled to be on that flight launch ECHR challenge. * Airline that initially agreed to do it backs out after it causes PR nightmare. * Government reverts to using RAF...

Might be worth doing some research into electorally defined 2 chamber systems that exist already before jumping to conclusions about how they'd work? eg Australia has a second chamber (the Senate) that is elected via a form of PR. Senator terms are offset - unless there's a "double dissolution"...

Ricciardo would have needed another stop for either softs or hards before the end of the race. He would have been in a similar position as Alonso to finish the race: initially outside the points, but with a tyre advantage to push back in. Think 9th or 10th might have been available. What's...

For cars etc they can't be made small or safe or cheap enough (yet). Fission (what we have today) comes with far too many safety issues for non-military transport. Fusion (what Fallout plays around with) isn't yet viable even at large scale.

I've finally got my 8 year old son interested in watching, and only have C4 highlights available, so I'll be watching it tomorrow afternoon at some point. Very tricky conditions in SQ3 (as well as the rain arriving part way through SQ2 preventing second runs) has resulted in a nicely mixed up...

Should be fine. My first Fallout was Fallout 3, having never played any of the others. Game didn't assume prior knowledge too much. I believe each game (and now this series) effectively "resets" itself - each game is broadly the same (survivor emerges from Vault, heads into the unknown, etc...

Other. As in, Tactical Anti-Tory

China this weekend. And it's a sprint race weekend. Could be an interesting one given they've not been to China since 2019, and the circuit has needed some remedial work (removing some bumps that have developed) to make it ready for the ground-effect cars. As far as talking points ahead of the...

I don't disagree with you. I think where we differ is in how fast the current processes operate. It could take months before a recall petition can be triggered under the current procedures, and that IMO is no where near good enough. It's also still possible (despite Boris' fumbling failed...

Indeed. This would almost certainly be an instant gross misconduct suspension pending investigation and hearing that would almost certainly result in dismissal in the vast majority of private companies. Especially given a private company would be facing up to having to report the data breach to...
