So you’re saying the borders that the UK already had control of before, it now doesn’t have control of and never did? Wow this Brexit thing sounds like something worth voting for

Luckily a new dawn will break on 1st January 2021 and the oppressed masses of the EU will see what true freedom and greatness looks like. The sun will once more shine brightly over the Great British Empire and we will conquer the world, freed from the shackles of straight bananas, Teutonic legislatory overreach and our 100% British Pork sausages being mislabeled as 'emulsified high fat offal tubes' in the European export market.

bgreman posted:I paid the $3/month for the F1TV archives access and am working through the 1981 season now and it's interesting. Different cars are appreciably different looking and there's slightly more overtaking than now. It's a great season. Everything from 1980-1991 is excellent. But yes, early 80s safety standards sucked rear end, the most idiotic is the aborted first start of the Belgian GP that year. Passing was also easier, which gives me a little bit of hope for new GE cars. Isn't in nice that they can follow? Frond fucked around with this message at 18:21 on Dec 21, 2020 |

bgreman posted:Jfc the start of the 81 Belgium GP. I see they left that in. Stohr had a bit of a breakdown after that and left racing. It's funny when you see them bouncing. They had to be thrown into corners more or less - very physical to drive, which benefitted guys like Keke Rosberg, Gillles, and Arnoux. You can also watch Renault gently caress up repeatedly in real time. I'm of the opinion the RE20/RE30 could have been championship winners if Renault would pull it's head out of it's rear end and stop making repeated dumb mistakes.

bgreman posted:The older races basically all have a one hour "In Review" condensed race package. Some also have a misleadingly named "extended highlight" package, which is 20-40 mins. A few of the classic races have the full event available (81 Britain and 81 Vegas for example), which becomes more common as we approach the present. I think all seasons from 2008 on have all races fully available. The "In Review" packages get a lot shorter in later seasons (Australia 2005 is only like 15 mins). Service vehicles too. Cars being ditched was because it was safer to leave them off line/off track honestly - you don't wanted to be murked by a car going 300km/h+ while retrieving a stricken one. Interesting. I've downloaded all seasons from 1980-1994 so I've got all the races, but they are variously in English, German, Portugese, Spanish, French, Italian or Japanese.

Although sometimes it's pretty apparent he had it in for Italians - Patrese mostly but others as well. Oddly enough though the best quality races I have are the Fuji TV ones. Nearly flawless

I mentioned this in the watch thread and I don't remember what the answer was but isn't it true that Hamilton is a sub brand of a massive Swiss conglomerate of watch brands who only bought the rights to the name "Hamilton" after the actual Hamilton company went tits up in the 70s and they are Hamilton in the same way Royal Enfield is Royal Enfield so saying they've been "making watches for 93 years" is rather shameful capitalist propaganda which regards money as truth. But legally they did have the name before Lewis was born.

Lewis probably knew nothing about it, he has managers to handle his rights. They just tried to register his name for a lot of goods, to see what sticks 3 years is not long in cases like this Oppositions at euipo are straight forward and pretty cheap This is such a nothing burger that I will just finish my post with Faaaaaarrttttt

Buying some heritage and prestige for your company is nothing new. SAIC bought Rover and MG for the heritage of selling piles of trash with warmed over K engines slotted in. At least they’re being faithful to British Leyland’s origins.
