I don't care for his background or knowledge, I judge any journalist by the same metric.

What is the story? How easy to digest is that story? Do I feel I have learnt something from that story?

Talking in metaphors this much within a short article is hack work, and it's painfully forced. It's like the comic who makes a one-off reference that kills, and then keeps referring back to it for the rest of their 30 minute set in the hope of more laughs, but instead it's tired.

What can I say. Probably it’s a matter of translation, if you could read it in Italian maybe you’d get it

Don't forget that Italian is such a beautiful, graceful language. If you saw the following on an Italian restaurant menu you might just order it for the name:

Is Bottas better than Rosberg? Looking at the number of wins definitely not. Same in qualification.

Numbers will prove anything :haha:

Rosberg was a proper racer who went to the edge and beyond to defeat Hamilton. Ok, it stressed him so much he knew he couldn't repeat it

Bottas is a button pushing fanny. Well done on pushing those buttons quickly

Engine modes banned in time for Spa

Good news for me, some will disagree. One element of driving from the pit lane ended. Regulate the mode of your car by driving fast or slow

F1 qualifying engine mode ban postponed to Italian GP

The FIA clampdown on Formula 1 teams usage of qualifying engine 'party' modes has been postponed until the Italian Grand Prix, instead of next weekend's Belgian GP as originally intended.

The concession has been made to allow engine manufacturers more time to conduct dyno testing before they head into a race weekend committed to the new restrictions.
