the sad part is even Lance doesn't like it. During interviews he doesn't look frustrated or disappointed about his performance... Saw a stat on reddit that he got most Q1 elimination (15 compared to Alonso, 2 times)
He's just hogging a seat because Papa said so. And I half hoped that Yuki would get a reserve role at Aston. Also, the Aston Martin line-up is weak. Alonso although is performing admirably is far from his peak.
They need to make changes.

I'm happy at least Yuki gets a reserve role. Thought he'd be out of F1 all together.
But of all the RB drivers currently in their roster, he sure got the short straw ;)

no hardcore F1 fan (n=1, me) liked it. I gave it a subpar 6.
There are better motorsport movies out there that have done justice to this sport. (i.e. Rush 2013)
Ford Vs Ferrari (not particularly F1 but as a motorsport movie is one of my favs). Maybe the fact both were based on the real life events makes it much more emotional and worth as a story.

That country is, of course, the United States of America in the 1960s.

And yet it was a country which decided to dedicate itself to being the first in history to land a human on the Moon, and succeeded in doing so.'

Seeing how 1080 #gaming is still the common resolution in the Steam survey, I think people will directly go to 4K gaming by the end of the decade.
But, 1440p is such a sweet spot in terms of PC gaming.
Better visuals compared to 1080 and is so much less taxing on the GPU and CPU.
For 4K (and the latest AAA games that are unoptimized) you need the top-of-the-line GPU and even CPU to get the best visuals and performance.

As a fan of Fold devices, the only reason I don't have one is the price. It should cost in parity with the current Ultras, Pro Maxs and Pro XLs. (and I say this who primarily uses "A" devices and finds even the base flagships too expensive)

Back in 2010s of course we rooted for SpaceX (and they have indeed done a remarkable job with reusable rockets and many other innovations) but now they're the only company dictating and unchecked power.
Starlink and other projects are indirectly funded because we have no other options (thank Boeing) than to rely on SpaceX.
