What rot. So tell me, who else has finished in the top 3 that are still on the grid. Alonso, Hamilton, Perez, LeClerc & Max. That’s it.

So here is what happened. He became a legitimate 3rd & 4th place in 2 world championships. Horner brought on this kid (he’s a pretty good racer it seems) and gave him everything he could and clearly made it difficult for DR3 to be given the same opportunity. Having favourites and clearly making it known is never good for a team. DR left and went to Renault as a team with (apparent) potential and outdrove that car. When he realised the car was a dog he went to McClaren and their car was weird a.f. But still managed to win a race. Something no one has done in that car since Hamilton on 2012!

Finally he went to VCarb, where through no fault of his own, he was forced to crash the car or kill Piastri and injured himself. This year, his first real year with the car, he has had the race pace (I’ll give you the qualifying) over Yuki who has been driving this car for 4 years now! Failing to finish twice because of 2 incidents that were not deemed his fault. Unfortunately he now has a 3 place grid penalty because he overtook Nico H under safety car, when Nico overtook him under safety car earlier. That was an error in hindsight because his team should have clarified it for him.

Maybe go back to season 1 and start again. Clearly you do not understand Formula 1.
If DR didn't have bad luck, he'd have no luck at all

Not too dissimilar to the leaked"spy shots" of nearly every car every month.

Irs funny that they still do that do this day, and now we have "speaker sightings".
 
I wouldn't say he “Teased” anything.

-You can’t “tease” a product that nobody cares about.

Which begs the question of why Apple is throwing money at “fetch” when it will never happen?

Beats would only happen if Apple let them compete on specs and value compared to AirPods.

When and what Apple does next with AirPods is what’s happening.

Nobody cares about “AirPods SE” or “HomePod SE”, no matter how many celebs get paid to awkwardly lug them around.

Beats were hot back when Dr. Dre owned them and was pushing them like his retirement fund was depending on it.

But Apple’s acquisition of Beats and efforts to neuter them has killed all the hype.

Now Beats only ever succeeds at making AirPods look even better value.

I don’t get the hate on a portable speaker. People whined when the HomePod wasn’t inherently portable. I love my Anker Bluetooth speaker and use it more than either of my HomePods.
 
Can we get a gallery of just shots like these? 😆

Anyone else find it interesting that we went from listening to music on portable AM Radios to huge, lush, wonderful-sounding home-stereo systems and then right back to tiny portable, mono speakers again? Same with screens. From minuscule CRTs in the living room to LCDs the size of small countries, and then right back to tiny screens (phones and iPads) again.

Humanity.

You can't make this stuff up.

Well, you can.

But you'd only look stupid.

Yup. Dre made a fantastic decision to sell the brand. Apple absolutely murdered it, and not in a good way.

I just don't see the market for Bluetooth speakers. Who's using them? They're tinny and obnoxious. Even the more expensive ones. I had a Bose Bluetooth speaker that sounded okay until the battery refused to hold a charge, then completely died. I saw zero reason to replace it. I don't see other people using them either.

We still have large LCDs, but I'm fairly certain that women killed the nice big home stereo speakers we used to have. If I'm generalizing, I'm sure most women would rather see a single sound bar than a receiver and full-range speakers in their living rooms.
 
Honestly these celebrity sighting "teasers" are such great marketing. Who wouldn't want their consumer products sorta-but-not-really-leaked by celebrities? :p
People don't like celebrities, especially Hollywood ones
