Fair enough, though from my use case, which was mostly support, it worked fantastic.

Well that's cool at least.

I honestly don't know. Just figured that if I see them on Formula 1 cars with other despicable companies they most likely are horrible too.

Salesforce specifically? Global availability for 1000's of users simultaneously. While integrating with mail and VoIP services are easy ones off the top of my head. It's extremely expensive but a hidden cost on top of that is actually configuring and maintaining it well. The initial fine-tuning for large orgs will take years for example. But if it's done it's actually a joy to work with, especially if you switched from a half-baked solution like a graphical shell over a FoxPro database or something.

At a previous employer of mine the helpdesk side was integrated to it and it was brilliant. All calls and mails were autoregistered and after using it for a while more and better answer templates were included. (Templates we could modify with situation specific parts as well) The template approval process was another great example as technical experts from different continents were part of a review committee to make sure only good solutions were allowed, and after that local experts could add translations of the templates.

I'm sure there are many things morally wrong with Salesforce the company, but a well implemented instance of it is a dream to work with.

Dried pasta is far superior to fresh pasta for most dishes.

No getting your wheels stuck in tram tracks either. Not relevant everywhere ofcourse but in places where they have trams plenty of people fall and get injured because of tram tracks.

Basically the Muslim saying "insha'Allah".

While I'm a Verstappen fan I really want this to stop. It's not exciting and as an additional thing it might lead teamsvto leave their drivers out in dangerous conditions hoping to gain track position in case of a red flag.

17 to 1st, even under the conditions is amazing. What a race by Verstappen.

Do you honestly think they will use this race? I would think it's much too complex in racing which they usually avoid to bring interpersonal stories. (Not a complaint, it's a show about stories in F1, not about racing)

This has been going on under the current rules for a very long time. This time it benefits Verstappen while it's very often negatively affected him.

But I totally agree, the rule should be that 1 pitstop with a different tyre is mandatory. Red flags should never be allowed to negate the mandatory tyre change.

To be fair to Norris he knows he just needs to not crash and stay ahead of Max. Russell knew that and just needed to start well enough to make him nervous.

He's not really lost time to Russell and seems to be catching up now (lap 13). I suppose he'll try to pass if Max gets to p5 or p4.
