I’m going straight in there with the controversial ‘I’d change the 2021 result’.

At least, I would change the decisions made by Masi at the end of the race. Not just straight up take the title off Max.

But I know that’s not really the spirit of your question. So to follow that, I’d just get rid of sprint races.

No shit. What team would say ‘nah, we’re happy with that, we’re just going to leave it.’

Of course they’re going to aim to improve all aspects. Just like all other teams.

The yellow red and blue look like they’ve used the spray can tool in MS Paint.

I think your first doing a stupid is buying a 750 for your first bike!

That’s like Steve jobs saying ‘you’re holding it wrong’ about the iPhone 4…

His responses to me appear to be from someone who has one of the greatest achievements ever accomplished to his name and there’s a tonne of people who don’t believe him and keep questioning him about it over 60 years on.

Maybe holding your phone would be a hint you want somebody’s number? That’s all I can think.

100% of the people who spam the same shitty joke format about dying to dad jokes die.

Basically, yes. You can get a lease for cheaper, but have no option to buy. PCP you have the option to buy, but few people actually take it.

It means a lot are driving cars they can’t really afford.

Say you buy a car for £40k, finance it on PCP and you effectively make payments against a £20k loan. At the end of the agreement, you can buy the car for the remaining £20k, or hand the car back. Often the car will be worth £20k-£25k. Most dealerships will say ‘hey you can just take this new car’ and they get a £25k car for £20k. Dealerships make more sales of new cars and make more on the 2nd hand cars. Meanwhile those paying don’t actually own anything at the end and have continuous payments.

The only saving grace is if the car is worth less than the outstanding amount. If the car is worth £16k and you have £20k outstanding, you can just hand the car back and walk away. You aren’t obliged to buy the car or take out a new loan.

You can also pay off the finance yourself for the £20k, then sell that car on to get the £25k. But no one does because it’s not convenient like just taking a brand new shiny car.
