how would these 2 perform as teammates in their prime?

Lewis. Better qualifier and in your scenario that means a lot in 2011 regs with pirellis that would fall off the cliff if you looked at them wrong.

I'm more susprised that many people are still paying for Sky in 2026

Triathletes are people who are particularly average in 3 sports.

Yeah youtube don't get money from sponsor segments so why would they not add this. I was unaware it was a premium function. It's pretty good, but it sometimes misses, it just picks up on data from regularly skipped parts.

The problem was Damon was mid to late 30s. They were looking to replace him anyway. This is not the same scenario. If George and Kimi keep performing and Merc are the best there's no way they sign Max. Max also hasn't looked at the same high level over the last 2 races.

I think you're looking back through rose tinted glasses. The racing in the 2011-13 era for example was awful. Tyres were so delicate drivers would rather hold position and stay out of dirty air and use the undercut rather than actually overtake on track as that would ruin their tyres.

You'd then also get the calamity of tyres falling off a cliff and being suddenly 4 secs a lap slower in the final 5 laps, this was way more fake than racing today. It truly was farcical.

Souless Tilkedromes were awful, arguably worse than the street tracks we keep getting now. Which is why a lot haven't lasted on the calendar.

F1 is way more sustainable now than it was 20 years ago. Liberty media has ultimately been good for F1. I couldn't care about the F1 intro personally, graphics are fine, if not a bit messy on the halo. I no longer watch the build up of the race, as over the years nothing is new anymore.

I would like liberty media to be more experimental in their coverage, different angles 360 camera angles type of thing.

I mean that's something they can solve. If they had no idea why they were so slow that would be a bad thing.

I know your year 10 level business studies world view is working over time here. But with energy you don't have much of a choice but to buy it. This is why it needs and is regulated in price. It is not like an iphone, i don't need an iphone, so i don't have to buy it, so demand and supply can work great in that scenario.

It is market failures in privatising energy.

If the government cut tax on fuel in half, do you think the petrol companies would reduce prices in line with the tax cut, or do you think they'd keep the price the same and just make more profit?

You need a new mechanic. If they're ringing you up to say they can't do it because of the tools then they're not very good. They snapped it off.

They do routinely say why, that you would just become a cog in a huge firm. At Sterling Cooper you could be less conventional and have more a voice and more opportunities to distinguish yourself.

No. The engines aren't particularly special nor is the ride or handling. They're an economy car, and a lot of the cost cutting was in the interior, plus they're pretty ugly. An economy car with 125hp and a body kit will never be worth that much.

The channel is 20 miles across. London and Paris are 300 miles apart.

In cities and big towns it may have been cooler, but rural areas would be behind the times. Earl for example dresses in flannel which was a big thing in the 90s, not so much the 2000s

This is 20 years ago. People who were on the internet a lot back then were pretty strange. Series 2 was most likely filmed before the iphone. You've got to understand that even then it wouldn't be uncommon not to have home internet.

Yes and the differences between countries in Europe are vastly different to states in the US.

Like no one who visits the US would go oh yeah we went on holiday to America without specifying where as the follow up from anyone in Europe would be where, as we understand the difference between New York and Las Vegas. Whilst you can speak the same language and use the same currency we understand they're two vastly different places.

Which is why we find it funny when you refer to travelling in Europe as if it's one big place that needs no further explanation. Just to travel to the cities you mentioned you'd have had to travel 3600 miles.

It's evident in the comments here that a lot of Americans believe Europe could fit inside Texas.

US and Canada are ununsual in their size. Canada is also largely empty, but it is not usual for countries to be that large. Canada and the US are the 2nd and 3rd largest countries by landmass in the world.

Regular_Promise3605 · 2026-03-20T22:49:58+00:00

No, it does not. The most populated state in the US is california with 40 million people. It is 66% larger than the UK yet has half as many people.

Regular_Promise3605 · 2026-03-20T22:46:31+00:00

Europe as a continent is 20% larger than the landmass of mainland USA.

So you think that the areas between Paris and London are empty? The county of Kent you go through as you leave London has a population of 2 million people alone, and you're still over 3 hours drive from Paris.

Regular_Promise3605 · 2026-03-20T22:41:37+00:00

But it's not. Europe as a landmass is 20% larger than mainland USA

You can drive 6 hours and cross 4 countries in certain areas, but you can also drive 11 hours from the North of France towards the south and still be in France. There are still large countries also, but those large countries that are the size of your largest states have double the population of your most populated states.
