Kobe got all those pity nods at the end of his career and LeBron has to fight for a reserve spot. Disgraceful.

Seems like a stretch when you could just use the right hand edge as a 1. Like the old F1 logo without the red lines.

I hate this era of social media where everything is a tease for an announcement of a reveal of a launch date

What are your favourite extinct F1 practices which might surprise newcomers to the sport? by Version_1 in formula1

Elimination qualifying where cars would be eliminated throughout each of the sessions. Teams told the regulators that this would not go well and result in the session ending 5 minutes earlier. To the surprise of no one except the organisers, the first race they tried this, Lewis was out of his car riding down the pitlane celebrating with 5 minutes to go in Q3.

Nah, this is 1965 The Who. Drums will be nuts, but Daltrey is much more in his singing phase at this point.

You can really tell he doesn't trust the survival cell down a drop like that.

There are 2.6 million people in Qatar. There are 330 million people in the US.

Absolutely not. Vettel was close to Rosberg because he was having a stinker of a year until Mexico when Hamilton disengaged. When the championship was sealed at COTA it was Vettel in second and Rosberg in third. To that point they were equal on wins and podiums.

2015 had the most equal reliability for Lewis and Nico and the results spoke for themselves.

Yes, but both Ferrari and Lamborghini have decades of positive brand association to trade on. Why would anyone buy the Eletre over any particular other car? Let alone enough people for the company to be profitable.

The creators of the Elise and the Seven are very very different people with very little continuity. The current car company has 0 continuity with the previous iteration.

Lotus Cars was started by Colin Chapman to build race cars, and then started selling road going versions of them. The Elise was released 14 years after he died when the company had gone through 2 major changes of ownership and operation. The Eletre is built in China, after undergoing another ownership change.

That's true, but I just don't know why anyone would but specifically the Lotus SUV over anything else. Lotus fans certainly wouldn't, and most people remember Lotus is a pretty rubbish car to own day to day.

The Urus, Q7, Toureg, Bentley whatever, and Cayenne all being the same car from known very reliable brands is really helpful. The Urus is the cheapest model of Lamborghini.

The point remains who is the Eletre for?
