Criticism isn’t about the concept(RIC needed to go, and so does Perez while we are on the topic) but the horrible execution(how the press and rumour mill during his last few race were) of the concept.
RIC while not performing at VCARB , was one of the most beloved driver on the grid. He should have been given a proper farewell and chance to go out, like he would have wanted and fans to get a chance to say good bye.
Instead of saying a decision will be made in Singapore, just say it will be RIC’s last race and let him go out, to some degree on his own terms.
There no limit to this guys attention whoring.
Valve did not say exactly why it got rid of its forced arbitration clause. But the company is currently being sued in a class action lawsuit in Washington state over the dominance of the Steam platform and over claims that it has overcharged for some games. The plaintiffs in that case actually went to arbitration and convinced an arbitrator that the forced arbitration clause should not apply to them, and were allowed to sue.
The plaintiffs in that case “retained separate counsel and mounted a sustained and ultimately successful challenge to the enforceability of Valve’s arbitration provision. Specifically, the named Plaintiffs won binding decisions from arbitrators rendering Valve’s arbitration provision unenforceable for both lack of notice and because it impermissibly seeks to bar public injunctive relief,” the class action lawsuit against Valve reads. Valve has not yet filed any arguments in that case.

Lawson is also confirmed for 2025, no?

Mate, we watched Max “take the piss” during 2023 and deservedly so.
There is also an engineering championship going on, that you(Red Bull) no longer lead.
In your own words: If you got a problem, change your fucking car.
I don’t recall Qualcomm trying to buy ARM.
Thanks for correcting me.
That’d be a more horizontal acquisition than a vertical one as Qualcomm doesn’t make x86 chips so they can at least argue it wouldn’t be anti-competitive.
Not sure if AMD and Nvidia, will see it that way, and they will probably lobby to stop the deal.
I owe you an apology Max, I wasn’t really familiar with your game.
2 World Driver Champions behind Lando. First lap is going to be entertaining
It violates TD003, issued after Baku 2021 to make sure that teams handle tyres according to the guidelines provided by Pirelli.
Emphasis mine
A Technical Directive to all teams will become effective from this weekend’s French Grand Prix, with safety on the mind of the FIA after the tyre failures experienced by two teams in Azerbaijan. Pirelli released their findings on Tuesday into the failures of Aston Martin’s Lance Stroll and Red Bull’s Max Verstappen in Baku, with the issues stemming from the way the tyres were being operated being the possible cause of the failures. Following this, teams will now face more stringent conditions under which they must operate their tyres in relation to pressures and temperatures, in a bid to ensure there will be no further failures.

Its trying to send spam. Report the link to Google Safe Browsing and move on.
This is never going to get regulatory approval. FTC will move to block the this acquisition.
Qualcomm wasn’t allowed to buy ARM, no way it gets to buy Intel.
Edit :I stand corrected.
It was Nvidia trying to buy ARM.
Fuckin hell
Just add one between Turn 9 and Turn 10, set the detection at exit of turn 8.
Fia please copy this idea.
Heartbreaking: Worst Corporation(s) you know, just made a good stand
I really what to censor the S word, no censor the whole KIck Stake. Just call it Sauber for fuck sake.
So, not enough for another race ban.
For those wondering, a driver needs to have 12 penalty points for a race ban.
A single official statement on any platform would have done it and they could have said: we tried but it wasn’t what we wanted, wish him luck and send him on his way.
Some helmet swaps and something during drivers parade or before the race start. Fans could have made special posters saying goodbye and thank you for all the memories.
Its not about money, its about the memories and sharing moments with people he competed against, loved being around and respected one last time before its over and the circus moves on.
