There's always an option to backtrack, though it would likely come with a substantial monetary and reputational cost.

I dislike Bernie intensely, but let's not kid ourselves that the current F1 owners are motivated by anything except how much money they can screw out of the sport.

Blake is reliably bonkers. I love his stuff.

Linux is fine for people like you and me who are comfortable installing our own operating system, and trouble-shooting any problems. Most 'normal' people though will continue to walk into a store, buy a laptop, and use whatever came installed.

Of course, the year of Linux on the desktop actually happened some time ago without anyone noticing. It's called ChromeOS, and that's a whole different can of worms.

Oh no, please tell me this isn't true. Surely the well balanced and entirely rational Mr. Musk wouldn't let this happen?

That's hardly a Linux-specific problem. There are plenty of Windows problems I've encountered where running some random dude's registry update script is the recommended answer. If you are running anything with Admin / Root rights in any OS you had better understand what you're doing.

Win 7 is peak Windows for me, but yeah, XP is fine. So is 2K or even Vista for that matter. With every release since 7 MS seem to have been actively looking for ways to make the UI experience worse.

Well, it's actually not that difficult if you really want to, but there's really no good reason to do so right now. It's basically just the same OS with an even more annoying UI.

Yeah, just because something utilises technology doesn't mean it belongs in a technology community.

Also, social media spreading misinformation hardly even counts as news these days.

Not a good look for VAG if true. First Porsche make a big deal about entering F1 and then can't find anyone who wants to work with them. If Audi then bails out after committing to buy a team and being an engine supplier it's not going to reflect well on the brand.

Maybe a way back into F1 for Honda though?

PF1 is a clickbait site. As a source of news it's about as reliable as the Daily Mail.

The artist had a traumatic and violent childhood, and was committed to a mental asylum in his 20s, where he spent the rest of his life. It was during his incarceration that he started drawing, eventually producing over 1500 works and a 25,000 page illustrated 'biography' of Saint Adolf.

RBR don't want or need anyone to match Verstappen's performance. All they want from their second driver is to finish P2 in the championship. Perez is currently on track to achieve that, but Hamilton isn't too far behind him. Perez is probably safe for next year so long as he gets P2, but he can't afford another race like Suzuka.

Ricciardo is unlikely to be an upgrade on Perez speed-wise, but he'd probably handle the pressure better and have fewer race incidents.
