Only 30%? Seems pretty much the majority these days

They played TRNSMT festival in Glasgow the other weekend, and had some shows since. Not sure how long they're touring now though

Well, unexpected, but not shocked. Some big questions come to mind immediately.

  • Do you think Nyck got a fair chance? He's underperformed, but wasn't given long
  • Will Ricciardo be able to get any results in that car? Has he gotten over the problems that led to his McLaren exit?
  • What could this mean for next year's RB/AT lineups?

This dude supposedly knows the de Vries family. But I'll believe it only when we get proper motorsport press reporting it.

edit: Telegraaf.nl reporting it. Ricciardo to replace de Vries link

edit2: Chris Medland says multiple sources confirm

edit3: It's real! https://scuderia.alphatauri.com/en/scuderia-alphatauri-welcomes-back-daniel-ricciardo/

I noticed this with Perez, had a good start to the season, then the second people start talking about a title race, his performance fell of a cliff. Hope he can get out of his own head, otherwise I wouldn't be surprised is Horner and Marko are interviewing replacements.

I'm gutted for Oscar missing out on the podium, just got unlucky with the pitstop/safety car. But that's Formula 1. Still, getting P4 in your rookie year is a great achievement, I think he's a real talent. And brilliant for Lando, that was excellent defending to hold off Lewis on much faster tyres.

Red Bull getting 11 in a row is just crazy, I think the count might grow. Uninspiring drive by Perez, did what he had to do and dragged the car up the field, but he should be finishing 2nd every single race in that car. I think he's badly underperforming.

And Ferrari ... lol. 4th and 5th to 9th and 10th. Awful day for them.

Well deserved penalty for that ridiculous move. Poor Gasly, he was pretty quick today.

I really hope Piastri can make it to the podium but I think the Hards just killed that :(

Lando understandably pissed as hell

I'm not sure if I should post the video, but having watched it, it's extremely similar to the crash that killed Anthoine Hubert. Looks further along the track - at the start of the Kemmel straight - but very similar.

Accident descriptionIt's not clear how (very bad weather conditions, lots of spray/fog), but his car spins into the middle of the track, stops fully sideways/perpendicular to the track, then is T-boned by another car.

Absolutely tragic.

Wow I did not expect Charles to get that close to Max. What a lap, but Max + the RB is just too good.

How many hours of work and how much money has been spent on this tabloid fantasy policy? What if we used all of those resources to ... actually tackle the (massive) asylum backlog. Absolutely inevitable this was going to be shut down and so much effort has gone to waste pursuing it.

 

More than a quarter of UK homeowners on a fixed-rate mortgage are heading for sharp increase in monthly payments before the next election, in a financial timebomb that will rock the Conservatives just as voters prepare to choose the next government.

With the Bank of England expected to increase its key interest rate next week for the 13th time, figures shared with the Guardian by UK Finance, the banking industry trade body, show more than 2.4m fixed-rate homeowner deals will expire between now and the end of 2024.

The prospect of millions of households facing a dramatic rise in borrowing costs comes after a week of renewed turbulence in financial markets as City traders bet the Bank rate would reach close to 6% before Christmas.

 

From a grand project encompassing most of England's major cities, improving connections up to Scotland and most importantly, reducing congestion on the West Coast Mainline.

To a line from Old Oak Common, to Birmingham. Total. We need to be working on HS3 and HS4 right now, not cutting HS2 back to the bare minimum. Makes me so angry.

 

Anyone else from Edinburgh found their way over to feddit.uk? There may be just 1 total, but just in case, here's a place to chat about the Scottish capital.

Please say hello and introduce yourselves, if you're here
