  1. Even that scene doesn't really make sense. Jamie and Cersei were at the top of the pile of bricks, they weren't standing on a pile of bricks before the roof collapsed... why weren't they at the bottom? And if they wanted that powerful on screen moment of him finding his brother and sister and mourning their deaths... they probably should have killed them in a different way, as opposed to revealing it in a way that... really just doesn't make sense. Whole lotta continuity errors in a show that was once famous for it's fantastic writing. Honestly, it's a huge shame. The cast and staff of the show deserved better than the sloppy writing it received in it's last season (I'm willing to forgive the standard of previous seasons, I think Season 7 got a lot of slack from fans despite pacing and writing issues... because the expectation was it was a season setting up more for the final season. HBO shows and unsatisfying final seasons, though. I don't know why I expected anything different.

  4. Well it costs a LOT of money and there's little to none direct return of investment (i.e. teams aren't making profit); the main reason why car manufacturers participate in F1 (or any other motorsport series) is usually marketing and engineering. Marketing/advertising one is obvious but it can also be a double edged sword - it can boost road car sales due to exposure and success, but it can also bring your reputation down if you are a major manufacturer and fail to build a competitive car that delivers. Engineering aspect is a bit more complicated as some technology developed for race cars can be relevant and innovative in road cars too, most of it isn't directly transferable though. For many brands financial cost of running an F1 team just can't be justified. We might get more major car manufacturers joining as engine suppliers under new regulations though. Many major manufacturers have taken part in F1 in one way or another in the past. Talking about the ones you mentioned, Ford actually developed the Cosworth engine in the late 60s that was very successful and they also competed as a team in F1 under the Jaguar name until 2005 but then sold its assets to Red Bull due to rising costs and little on-track success. They were said to be somewhat interest in a potential return due to hybrid technology which is highly relevant to their road cars but only if there are budget caps as they still consider it too costly. On top of that, they run a successful GT programme in IMSA and WEC and participate in NASCAR and rally. BMW spent numerous years in F1 too both as engine supplier and as a team (with Sauber) but in the end the costs were deemed to high and they now concentrate their efforts in touring and GT cars. Chevrolet target audience is pretty much the US so it makes more sense for them to participate in IMSA, NASCAR and Indy instead of wasting money on a global racing series that aren't too popular in the US compared to the domestic motorsport events. Bugatti doesn't even have a racing programme; their cars are just luxury hypercars showcasing the technology. Many brands are now focusing on Formula E simply because the electric technology is more relevant and so they can use the series to develop it for their road cars. Plus it's also much cheaper. That's also where I could see Tesla in the future instead of F1 as to be fair there's just no point for an electric car manufacturer to join a internal combustion/hybrid power unit based racing series...

  6. You'd think after Antoine 'le wacky fortnite guy' Greasman doing it all the fucking time it wouldn't be so cringe anymore. Some thinks are just inherent.

  8. The panenka was stupid and he'll be the one in the limelight who missed but he wasn't the only one to do so. Gutted for @Toinho though. What a season and it's a shame it had to end like that
