Modern management: "You see, we bought this ship, but it's just so expensive, and you all cost so much to run it. What we'd like you to do for this financial year is drive it full speed into an iceberg. This will drive efficiency, and allow us to sink more ship with less iceberg, and allow this very expensive undertaking to just sink to the bottom of the ocean. This makes management comfortable, and should you survive, you'll get a staff service award"

Happy fedi, hope you all have a good weekend.

Been put in a very difficult position at work. Really brings out the red in me.

Today in 1973, 50 years ago: the Bahamas and the two Germanies are admitted to the United Nations.

Holy hell did the sport ever need that result.

A few people have jumped on the recent technical directive contributing to RBR struggling. It's far too soon to tell. If the car remains relatively uncompetitive tomorrow and the next event ,then it is time to get the magnifying glass out.

Top Red Bull driver in Singapore is Liam Lawson. Good for him.

Feels very odd to see such a drop in pace from RBR. It seems beyond track characteristics. The race will be the real tell.
