    According to Pete Windsor, a friend of Newey's who worked with him at Williams, he has turned down the offer from Aston Martin. As I suspected, we're just awaiting confirmation now but it appears he's Ferrari-bound.

    Cause a commotion? He never did. One of those crashingly mediocre British performers who pose as beatniks and appear in videos with desert roads and artfully run-down gas stations.

    Here's my "statement" sounds a bit portentous - he could have just said: "this is what's going on" Aye, good spot - might keep an eye on this one.

    Death Anniversary Thread

    Ruth Handler died on this day 22 years ago, aged 85. - Handler would found a plastic furniture company with her husband Elliot. Due to falling sales in World War II, the Handlers would begin making dollhouse furniture, and in 1945 the company was renamed to "Mattel". The dollhouse furniture sale success led to the company fully entering the toy market. - In 1956, Handler would visit Germany, where she would notice a doll based on a comic book character named "Bild Lilli". She would bring one home for her daughter to play with, and noticing the absence of adult-aged female dolls in toy stores (girls would tend to play with baby dolls), decided to redevelop Bild Lilli for an American audience. Three years later, the doll would release, Handler would name it after said daughter- and the rest is history: Barbie's boyfriend Ken would follow in 1961, named after the Handlers' son. - Handler would have a mastectomy following a diagnosis of breast cancer in 1970, and would develop her own prosthetic breasts under a new company, "Ruthton": They were known as "Nearly Me"s. - Handler would resign from Mattel in 1975 after she was reported to have made fraudulent financial reports; she was fined and had to serve 2500 hours of community service. - Handler was later diagnosed with colon cancer and died from complications of surgery treating it. Interest in her surged following the 2023 Barbie movie, where her spirit would be played by Rhea Perlman.
