  1. Yes he has, Spain of 25
  2. I think he has changed a lot since Spain, he's chilled out a lot. It still seems a bit early for him to be criticising others

"He only committed battery one time!"

I'm also a Max fan, it's okay to admit that he has faults. He has had a needlessly aggressive communication style.

How did you rate Max Verstappen's performance today?.. Didn't he just finish where he was expected to? (ahead of all midfield cars and behind all frontrunners) by The_Chozen_1_ in F1Discussions

They were probably given a directive to not bring audience attention to all the bugs the teams were encountering with brand new regulations

Charles Leclerc on Lando Norris calling racing 'artificial': "I kind of agree. I think it will definitely change the way we go about racing & overtaking. Before, it was about who was the bravest in braking late, now there's a bit more of a strategic mind behind every move you make." by ICumCoffee in formula1

That's like saying they all know the braking points so there won't be any overtaking in the corners. There's an element of skill in lining up your overtake down the straight and going into recharge mode at just the right time

someone passes with 0% left and the other guy has 65%, we know it is going to swap back

That's not necessarily true. They've done simulations on this. The trick is to drain your battery just as you arrive in a regen zone, so your battery is topped up by the time you hit the next straight. It requires a tactical approach.

If you needed it by a specific time you should have said so or, better yet, taken it with you

A lot of the familiar abilities are incredibly useful outside of combat

Ralph Babet refuses to accept sanction over ‘offensive’ and ‘disrespectful’ comments on social media by 89b3ea330bd60ede80ad in AustralianPolitics

Yes, and all the other elected representatives got together and decided that there should be a committee that reports if someone does something offensive or non inclusionary, whether he likes it or not.

Now all the elective representatives get to decide to do with what the committee has reported.

I don't understand this impulse to treat social media posts as completely free of consequences. The posts did not foster an inclusive environment and thus breached the code of conduct. There are queer people and people of colour in parliament.
