I LOVE this.
Absolutely love it.
Set out the rules ahead of time, tell people clearly how they will be judged, and now let them compete within those rules.
This is the very essence of sport.
I hope this sets a precedent.
Great move from the #f1 stewards.
Football referees could learn from this - show players a highlight reel before the match, explain what will be allowed, what gets a 🟨, and what gets a 🟥
The problem for Manchester City is this:
If those leaked/hacked emails are real, they are guilty. Their own words prove that they knew they were cheating and did it anyway.
But what if those emails are fake?
Proving a negative is, generally, hard.
But anyone who knows about email journaling and compliance archiving, it’s pretty easy to prove beyond a reasonable doubt if those emails were fake.
So the longer this goes on, the less likely it is that they can do that.
8 years?
Guilty.
The whole world was supporting England, and we decided to give them the full, authentic experience.
Only 694 days until Euro 2028!
“Football, like any other sports, relies on rules, which are the basis for fair, honest and transparent competition. Sometimes rules are open to interpretation. In this case not. […]
When the certainty of rules is no longer guaranteed by its guardians, the integrity of the game is at stake and the credibility of a competition is undermined.”

I don’t understand the #BritishGP confusion.
The rules are clear and simple.
If lapped cars are allowed to overtake, the Safety Car comes in at the end of the following lap.
Yep. Sure. No questions. No concerns.
I wonder, who would win between the FIA and FIFA?
FIA passes proposal to end presidency term limits by majority of more than 90% - BBC Sport bbc.co.uk/sport/formula1/art…
Great idea, but whilst we’re wishing, can we also:
- finally plant a magic money tree, solve all future budget problems
- repeal the laws of thermodynamics, solve the energy crisis
- get Oasis back together… oh, wait, no, that one’s already fixed. Sorry, it’s an old list!

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
China’s CCP used the exact same “protect children from porn” excuse in 2009 when it forced Green Dam Youth Escort onto every new PC, which also censored political content and monitored users.

I wish everyone who posts outrageporn would include #outrageporn so that I could mute it.
Sorry folks, I probably don’t care about what is bothering you.

#BOUMUN – 67’
The referee’s call of no penalty for a challenge by Truffert was checked and confirmed by VAR – with it deemed the contact was not sufficient for a foul.
…I now realise the times are truncated, not rounded.
So a gap of 6.499 is shown as 6.4 ☹️
Still, happy to say that the app and F1TV feed are stable, great job for a first race of the season 👍
Thank goodness for @f1multiviewer 🙂
Hey @jockowillink, I recently listened to podcast 41 with Tony Eafrati.
Now I’m reading Extreme Ownership, and every time I see the letters BTF I can’t help smiling 😀

My question: who the hell were these people who bought a zoo, closed it down, and planned to kill all the animals?
They sound like villains from @TheMuppets movie!

🤹🏻 We're going to pass a law saying that we're allowed access to encrypted data.
🦹🏻 Awesome! Thank you!
🤹🏻No, it's not for you. It's just for us to use.
🧑🏻💻 That's not how encryption works. If you make a back door, 99% of the use will be by criminals.
🤹🏻 It will be a magic back door that criminals cannot use.
🧑🏻💻 There is no such thing. Right?
👨🏻💻👨🏻💻👩🏻💻👨🏻💻👩🏻💻👩🏻💻👨🏻💻👩🏻💻👩🏻💻🧑🏻💻👨🏻💻 Right.
🤹🏻 We are passing the law anyway. But we'll add a caveat that you only have to let us use the magic back door if it really exists.
...
🤹🏻 Hey, Apple, we demand you build a magic back door to let us access encrypted data, belonging to anyone, anywhere in the world, at any time. But, don't tell anyone about it.
🦹🏻 Awesome! Thank you!
