After a streak of good performances and impressing in the EL, Wolfsberger AC have lost their manager to Barnsley FC. A bit of a weird move to leave in the middle of the season and right before important domestic league and EL matches. Not to mention he first joined the club in June... I could maybe understand if it was a huge improvement but he's taking over a club that's bottom of the second tier?

Oh this is juicy. But imagine if Ferraris are found to be clean while FIA finds something illegal in a rivals car would be hilarious.

Ah that's a good one. Think you'll enjoy it!

I'm due to rewatch Coco around Christmas again... Which show?

Sorry for your loss Alan.

Not in Cambodia, they are actually more expensive there (due to import tax) and I wouldn't trust the quality in most shops to be honest. Better off taking a flight to Bangkok or Singapore or even Kuala Lumpur for a better deal. But I'm currently back to Europe for a while so I have more access to electronics at better prices and will definitely make use of that before I go back. That Dell I mentioned is currently at around 1300€, I will look for a better price still.

Well my Christmas present for myself might be sorted then...

If I can get a laptop then I definitely prefer that; I think I can even get my boss to take over a part of the cost as I'd be using it for work anyway in that case. How do these two look? DELL G5 15 5587 i9-8950HK/16/1TB+256GB SSD/GTX1060 6GB LENOVO Legion Y530 i7-8750H/8/512GB SSD/GTX1050Ti 4GB

I looked around and a 1000 Euro should get the job done I think? If that's the case then I'm fine with it but my main concern and a big donwnside of a PC is transportation... a console I can easily put into my luggage; especially something like a PS4 Slim. Whereas transporting a PC tower between continents is quite a bit problematic...

I don't expect many changes... that will be the last year of the current regulations, so there's probably going to be more about subtle changes than completely new concepts. I really hope though that we'll get a tighter battle for the championship next season with the three top teams being quite close to each other at this stage.

Yeah I believe he was 42 seconds behind Max before the safety car happened (on the same number of pit stops) if I'm not mistaken. He seems to always come alive at the end of the race when the car is light but struggles on his first stint with a heavy car. Mind you, he's still a rookie who was thrown into the seat in the mid-season so he certainly deserves a chance and everyone's more lenient with him for a reason. But he'll need to improve significantly to keep the seat imo. Also back to the mechanics - the pit crew did even better than I thought. Another world record

I thought he wasn't that great until he had a great restart after the safety car and managed to overtake Vettel and then defend his position despite both Ferraris putting pressure on him. However, he was fairly disappointing at the start of the race were he couldn't overtake Bottas with DRS and then failed to keep up with him despite the car being great today. His racecraft is fine and he's not afraid to get into battles but his raw speed isn't great... Will be interesting to see if he improves next season.

Also good to see Alex celebrating together after missing out on the podium.

Can we also talk about how great RB's pit crew is? Two 1.9s pit stops for Max today

yeah my neighbours probably hate me too

Ah fuck it I'm buying a new PC then. A question: am I better going with a new PC or a console? This is just for gaming as I work solely on my laptop.

Not yet - but I'm looking forward to it...

That's a nice commercial...

I think that's still the plan to be honest. An RB was already one of our priorities in the summer before the injury crisis hit and this new contract extension is only for one year anyway - so I definitely see us getting another RB to replace Theo in the near future. But I'd say it definitely makes sense to keep him - he's still a decent reliable fullback and who knows if we manage to sign someone proper given the state of our budget.
