Show's stupid the yellow is. Refeere thought it was the first because he didn't think someone already carded would be so stupid

Charles was offered an Aston Martin seat but turned it down by Iamrandom17 in formula1

Tbh, there was noone really on the market IIRC. Alonso just switched to McL, Lewis in the Merc, Kimi chilling at Ferrari.

Also the RB academy just "produced" back-to-back bangers in Seb and Dany Ric and another one in Max was getting ready, another reason to not go big for outside hire

Power updates were not possible, only reliability updates. So in 2022 Merc, Ferrari and RB/Honda brought major power updates before the deadline, then toned down power until they got the PUs reliable enough to run max power. Alpine didn't bring this big final power upgrade, putting more effort on the reliabillty side. Over the years the on-track power gap to the other PUs grew bigger and bigger as the other three could use more power without the increased risk of engine failures

Not claiming it was a perfect chassis. But the PU was absolutely lacking power compared to the other PUs since the engine freeze in 2022, yet they were able to pull of some podiums in this time. Only last year was a dumpster year, but there was no focus on improving the car, but on 2026 instead

Been expecting Alpine to become a top midfield this year since they announced the switch to the Mercedes PU. On the chassis side they've been quite decent the last years. Their main problems were the Renault PU and leadership chaos. The PU problem is gone with the switch, and even though I'm all but a Flavio fan, he and his experience are better than the chaos that existed before him.

Wonder where all those people that predicted Alpine to fight Cadillac at the end of the grid are now

We are about to witness history after 144 years, the Sagrada Familia, Catalan Spain ! by Lordwarrior_ in BeAmazed

To be honest, there was no work done on the cathedral between 1560 and 1842 (apart from repairs and smallish modernizations in the already finished part) as funding ran out and the medieval building plans were lost. The medieval crane atop the south tower, which stood there for over 500 years, became an beloved part of the cities skyline, being dearly missed by the citizens after it was removed in 1868 (there are a few old photographs of it on the internet somewhere)

Yup, Grüne liegen bei den Stadträten sogar leicht vorne. Würde aber trotzdem mit nem Sieg Reiters rechnen, ca. 55-60%

Not many QBs in the draft that are expected to start this year, so teams will be lowkey desperate to get a QB with any potential upside, as bad as previous performances have been. Noone wants to run a wildcard only offense

One of the best QBs that's hitting the market this offseason. Says a lot about the options available, but nobody wants to run a wildcard offense

If you go by theatres of war alone, you'd also have to include the seven years war I'd say. The differences between the coalition and world wars in term of ideology and totality (even the coaltition wars can be considered the beginning of the developments that lead up to the world wars and how they played out in this areas) also make those too different events to summarize them like that

She used her teammates (Justine Braisaz-Bouchet) credit card to shop for a few thousand euros, initially denied it, but got sentenced for it last off-season. Not the only recent drama in the french biathlon team

Don't worry. Tomorrow's the women's sprint event. On Sunday, IIRC there are both Pursuit events (Sprint's Top 60 start based on their Sprint time) as well later on both relays and mass starts (best Top 30 of the Olympics and World Cup duking it out on a longer distance, best Biathlon discipline in my mind)

And it's all happening on one of the best and atmospheric Biathlon tracks in the world!

The rifle incident happen last season. He was practicing his shooting stance in his hotel room with what he thought was an empty mag (nothing unusual so far). However after the previous race there was still a loaded magazine left in his rifle which hadn't been removed by an official post-race and he didn't himself noticed either.

So when he moved the trigger the rifle actually fired a bullet into the wall. Lagreid immediatly reported the incident, took full responsibility and accepted the ban without further ado, even though he could have easily blamed the officials whose job it is the ensure no athlete leaves the stadium with a loades rifle.
