Yeah, he did.
The track crew did a hell of a job cleaning everything up though.

Come on, Toto—just build a car that actually lets Lujo compete (even if it's just next year)—because watching this Ferrari is honestly painful.
They basically said there won't be any penalty.

I bet Latifi is about to go full throttle straight into a wall 😁

Border Crossing Info: Entering and Leaving America
in Coronavirus ·
Quote : Starting 1 May, if you're heading into Italy, all you need is your COVID-19 Green Certificate—basically your proof of vaccination, a recovery note, or a negative PCR/antigen test. Any equivalent official cert should work too.
If you don't have any of those handy, get ready for a mandatory 5-day quarantine, plus you'll have to deal with testing out of it once the time is up.

A guy I work with just got back from a trip to Canada—apparently, they’ve scrapped all those entry requirements over there entirely.

It’s just pure stupidity—honestly, it reminds me of that old nonsense where they tried doing double points at the season finale.
There is absolutely zero justification for why Imola should be worth more than any other standard race.
At the end of the day, it's just a joke waiting to happen—someone will eventually call it out because it feels forced and makes no sense.
Hey, word is they might bump the number of sprint races up to six instead of three in the future.

Roger Wright94 said:I get why people might be hyped about someone, but honestly—what exactly did Max do that was so spectacular at Imola?
He won a race in a dominant car. Basically, he just had to beat his own teammate.
I am seriously getting tired of reading this endless debate over whether it's the car or the driver. I can't deal with it anymore.🤦
Back in the day, when Lewis Hamilton was winning everything, nobody blamed the car—they just accepted he’s the GOAT. But now, the second Max or Charles Leclerc takes a win, everyone jumps to "oh, it's just the car," as if being a great driver doesn't matter anymore.
And look at George Russell's face—does he look like he's driving a Ferrari or a Red Bull just painted silver? Or is poor Lujo out there driving a Williams with a gray paint job? 🤔

And what was Stroll doing, making little toy trains?
fadedwalker18 said:No way. Not happening.
I’m actually surprised Norris (and Ricciardo too) are even waiting? 🤦
They’ve got to get past those Bears first.
It was wild—one minute he's closing in within a second, then suddenly he just falls off a cliff to two seconds behind.😵
Think Russel will actually get the chance to overtake Hamilton?

It’s a ten-day stint, starting from day zero—which is the day you had your last close contact with someone sick. So, once eleven days have passed since that last contact, you're clear. In your case, you won't be stuck in isolation after November 15, 2021.
I’m stuck in isolation because of a VACCINATED person who started showing symptoms and tested positive on a PCR.

I feel like this whole thing is just one big setup for more questions... so I’m just gonna throw this out there:
Supposedly, I’m a close contact of someone who was testing positive—they were fine on Friday, we last spoke on Thursday, and then suddenly today I get notified that I need to quarantine. We work together in a massive corporate office downtown. Apparently, the health department guys handed over my info from the workplace.
Is anyone from those public health agencies actually going to reach out to me—via email, a phone call, or what? How often are they going to be breathing down my neck? Am I really expecting the police to show up at my front door?

In my estimation, what would be the most secure and reliable course of action? I would truly value your perspective on which path offers the greatest stability. 😁
I find myself tethered to her on several upcoming projects over the next six months, though I am quite eager to move on as soon as possible. Thank you. 🙂
This is certainly an intriguing situation to contemplate. It seems to me that men generally find navigating social dynamics with women to be more intuitive, and perhaps they ought to carry themselves with a certain level of grace and composure when in their company. At least, that is my humble observation. I wonder, however, if there are any other nuances or perspectives one should consider to truly grasp the full complexity of the matter?
At my last firm, I was also surrounded by two women, though we didn't have to collaborate much. Since I was the new guy, I got sucked into their little bubble where it was just the two of them—and man, those first six months were brutal. Constant ignoring, passive-aggressive jokes, the whole nine yards. It wasn't until one of them went on maternity leave that the other had no choice but to actually tolerate me. After a month or two, we actually became decent friends. Being the youngest there helped a bit, too.
But that's irrelevant to this specific mess. I just wanted to comment on that "blessed" part. 😁
I could go into more detail about the situation, but it'll turn into a novel. I laid out all the essentials in my first post. 🙂
Just a quick addendum to my first post.
I recently grabbed a coffee with an outside consultant who shares our office space and works with us occasionally. He’s in the room constantly, so he sees everything that goes down.
He’s actually the one who brought this up to me—I wasn't fishing for sympathy or venting or anything.
His take? They’re likely just jealous and terrified for their jobs because this young guy joined the team—someone who works faster, knows the software inside and out (including the legacy stuff they all use), speaks fluent English, handles clients well, and actually wants to learn. Basically, he thinks they're just protecting their territory, which explains why they're treating me this way.
There's a massive age gap here; they could practically be my mother.
They’re the type of people who find everything difficult and complain about every tiny thing. If they ever have to actually *do* something instead of having it served to them on a silver platter, it's eye-rolling and grumbling all around...
And they’re exactly the same with each other. To anyone watching, they seem perfectly lovely and sweet to one another in a professional sense, but really, they're just looking for ways to step on each other. It's basically garbage wrapped in shiny cellophane. They'll play nice right in front of the boss, then immediately try to pass the buck. Usually, the youngest one takes the biggest hit, but now that I'm the new kid on the block, I guess I'm the latest target.
The petty bickering and the ego trips don't bother me that much, honestly. What really gets under my skin is how they withhold information I need to actually finish my work. They won't give me a full explanation; they just toss things at me vaguely right when I'm trying to learn something new and need them to walk me through it.
I can grind through one more year at this company, and then I'm out.

I’m curious about this too, though I’m looking at it more from a guy’s perspective.
I feel like I’ve walked straight into a lion's den. I have to deal with three women almost every single day at work, and honestly, I can't decide which one is the worst. Being the youngest guy in the office doesn't help—the vibe here is just toxic.
I swear, I don't know whose ego is bigger among the three of them. When they actually bother to explain something or try to help, I barely get even 20% of the info I need. Then I end up busting my ass all day trying to finish a simple task, mostly because I have to redo things ten times over just to satisfy them—and every single time, they just roll their eyes if it isn't exactly how they envisioned it..
A lot of the details they leave out are crucial for moving the project forward, so then I get blindsided by the managers who act like I’m incompetent for not finishing something when I never even had the right data to begin with.
I actually brought this up to my boss, and he basically told me he shouldn't get involved because it would just make things awkward, so I should try handling it myself. I gave it a shot, and things seemed a little better for a minute, but it was just an illusion. It went right back to the usual nonsense.
It’s pretty obvious they can’t stand me either—probably because I’m the junior here and I actually know how to use the modern software we use. I work faster and more accurately than they do, which apparently makes me a "problem" in their eyes. The difference is, I don't walk around with that aggressive, ego-driven attitude they have.
Right now, I’m not working on anything with them, but there’s a massive project hitting my desk in a week, and I can already feel my blood pressure rising.
I don't really have a choice; I have to work with them, and I'm even supposed to be learning from them. It's a nightmare... and I still have a full year left at this company.
