Re: F1 2025
Aaaaaand in ever more consistent officiating, Norris is given a 5 second penalty for causing a collision. Could someone explain how that would/will be applied? The next race, or to the Canadian one? :S I believe they can add it to the next race, presumably it would have to be at the first pit stop....

Just scroll close to the end for quick reference to 2007. https://targetlock.org.uk/jaguar/service_uk.html Sad as early retirement is, I don't agree with your view as the Jag had become very expens...

Re: Elephant in the room
Trump 2.0 or whatever his second time in office is called by journalists as time progresses should really reflect that as President this time around he has much much more power than previous Presidents of recent history.
