Oscar is a future World Champion.

Maybe RB sees something in Daniel that we don't. Let's say he's been given the same car as Max, I doubt that DR would be anywhere near Max's performance.

Checo is an exceptional defensive driver, proven race winner this season too. Why gamble and replace him with a driver who left them years ago?

Brown is a very bright CEO. Toyota is proven time and time again as a formidable manufacturer. It would be amazing to see Toyota making it's return into F1.

Where do you live?

A lot of people have mentioned serving time frame for time penalty and I agree.

I really like points penalty, damn.. that'll cause a stir!

 

My 15 year old sister informed me last night that someone is pretending to be her on Instagram. The impersonator uses her photo as their profile picture and uploaded insta stories and photos of her with penises drawn on her face. This is probably the work of an teenager who dislikes her.

This person also contacts her friends through messaging service and harrasses them.

Instagram had declined her request to shut the account down on multiple occasions. I have tried to contact several grey hats online to locate and identify the impersonator but we're finding out that such service isn't cheap at all.

What should we do in this case? Thanks in advance.

EDIT: 30/9/23 Thank you for all of your advice and recommendations. We took screenshots and made a report on Netsafe's website They scheduled a phone call with her where she was able to explain what happened.

The bully account was finally taken down and Netsafe had 100% to do with it. They sent my sister a text message with updates on the case.

We think we know who the culprit is. They're a group of boys from a school in South Auckland. All of them covers their faces when posting on Instagram, we think we know why.

Anyways, I've made sure that my sister is keeping herself safe when online especially when it comes to posting photos.

Thanks again everyone.

I like Danny and Yuki, but I think Liam deserves a seat. That's a waste of talent right there.

Oscar is for certain going to be McLaren's number one driver. The quicker Lando realises this, the better. Forget 2024, but 2025 can definitely be the year he moves to one of the bigger teams.

The whole of NZ is excited for him. Let's go Liam!

There's no point for him to stay in Super Formula, regardless whether or not he wins the championship. It's merely a "waiting room" for RB's talent pool and RB is wasting his time if they order him to stay for another season.

Charles, when given the right car would definitely be a serious contender for the championship. On the other hand, Ferrari has not been in years. Constant poor strategy implementation and reliability issues have repeatedly robbed both Charles and Carlos' from podium finish or even victory.

It's definitely something that Charles need to seriously consider.

He should drive for a competitive team. We don't know if McLaren's recent upgrade would translate to next year's success, hard to say. Given the right car, Lando should be able to challenge RB. Athletes have a tendency to be loyal to their team when to the team, they're always replaceable. Who's to say Oscar isn't going to be McLaren's number 1 driver?

 

Good to finally see him on a podium!
