Well Checo had been able to do the one thing Albon and Gasly couldn't, which is consistently finish one or two places behind Max (in both quali and the race).

That doesn't seem to be happening anymore, for various reasons. It was enough to get drivers canned mid-season before, but with a car this dominant and the rest of the field much closer, they're not under any sort of pressure when it comes to the WCC, so who knows.

Peronism is not a coherent ideology.

don’t pretend that the fall of the berlin wall wasn’t celebrated on both sides of the wall

The fall of the Berlin Wall and the replacement of a socialist government with a capitalist one are different events.

My point being primarily that support or opposition to state socialism in formerly (or presently) communist countries is not universal and not of a single character. Just like everyone who was cheering for the Berlin Wall to come down was not cheering for corporate domination or microplastics in their blood, not everyone who wants a return to state socialism is cheering for the Stasi or the NKVD to come back.

Ask anyone? Or just anyone who immigrated to the west? There's a lot of selection bias inherent in the people who most westerners talk to about state socialism.

So my wife and I do this thing where we try to have a meal or a beverage that's emblematic of the country they're racing in on the week of the race. This week we'll be going to a good authentic-ish English pub. They serve Welsh rarebit which I enjoy. And they meet my criteria for a good English pub, which is that the floor is carpeted.

Especially considering the car has so much pace he didn't even need to push it that hard.

Suffering from the Telltale disease. Pumping out more and more licensed games that are just a different coat of paint on the same game is going to lead to diminishing returns, I expect. Especially with a live service game, I have to imagine that at a certain point you're just fracturing your userbase.

This is all because they changed the carpet.

I don't think a tagline could unhype me more.
