What other Motorsport requires drivers to go slower to reach the end of a lap?? Requiring teams and drivers to have a strategy is great, but this is F1, not chess. I’ll rename #F1 to #FSlow now, and skip Monza, it would be to painful to watch

What a disgrace… I’ve been watching Suzuka qualifying, seeing cars lift and coast on the last straights is so sad for someone that saw the Alonso overtake on turn 15, and Prost and Senna antics on the 80’s… #formula1 #f1 #suzuka

I find it sad to see Apple moving from great software and lousy hardware to great hardware and lousy software. Everyday I have to use MacOS gets me closer to go back to 2001 and switch back to some form of Linux, ideally running on Apple hardware

Hi everyone 👋 I’ll post this information to get some awareness to the Supercharger situation here in Portugal 🇵🇹 Tesla entered with Superchargers in our country since 2017, they were granted a permit to deploy them as an innovative project that would (and indeed did) boost the electric mobility in Portugal. But in 2019 legislation changed and with the pressure from other companies they lobbied against Tesla, forcing it to comply with tough rules (eg. Tesla SuC must send all data to the charging network administration organism, they should provide that all the SuC should be able to grand access to all energy providers, etc etc. Since that Tesla no longer could deploy more SuC or open SuC already built and ready to operate, also, they weren’t able to expand some sites to ensure more chargers in critical/main highways. The previous government wasn’t flexible to negotiate even a midpoint agreement. With the new government and the new legislation from EU AFIR we hoped to get the changes we need but still we don’t have positive signs as there is no palpable changes in Portuguese network. This is very dramatic because we buy and import a lot of Teslas, and as consequence the SuC is very stressed with constant cues and with no reliable options outside SuC network. Please consider this as a top priority for Europe not only for us (locals) but also for a lot of turists that visit us. Happy to help you Cheers guys
