    I hope Newey goes to Aston Martin. I desperately want Alonso to have a realistic shot at race wins again, as I'm certain he can still do it. Is Mercedes an exciting prospect to Newey? Probably not. Ferrari would be more interesting due to their history and prestige. But, as I said before, Aston would offer him the chance to build up a team into title contenders for the 4th time (after Williams, McLaren and Red Bull - I know the first 2 were successful before him). Surprised Audi aren't making a play for him too, he could turbocharge their entry. I'm uncertain about all this hype about Audi. New manufacturers rarely hit the ground running. Toyota didn't win in 8 years of F1. Mercedes took 3 seasons before their first win and 5 before their first championship. Audi do have good motorsport pedigree, but F1 is a different animal and breaking the hegemony of the big boys is not easy, and there's so many teams fighting just behind Red Bull already: Ferrari, McLaren, Mercedes, Aston Martin. Add Audi into the mix and we could have 6 teams fighting it out, which, if they're relatively equal, could be thrilling, or we could end up with Noah's Ark, 2 by 2 by 2 - no wonder they're talking about points down to 12th.

  7. Yeah, the guy in the Threads clip said something about that.

    It is. But do we want to see presenters standing still, with their arms by their sides? It looks unnatural. If they're cropped from the chest up, then fine, but otherwise I'm fairly certain it would very quickly become weird. Maybe we'd get over the weirdness and it would become normal with time. But movement maintains focus and concentration. I'm not saying they need to do drastic movements or move all of the time, I fully agree time and place and leaving room for emphasis. The point I was making is in the past, they got away with it by having them hold a microphone. Now their hands are idle. Sometimes they get around it by getting them to walk somewhere, like down a high street, or along a bridge.
  9. No, they don't. It's perfectly possible to stand still without fidgeting and waving your hands about.

    She has had (probably) bowel disease which is debilitating, followed by a major abdominal operation. And chemo can knock people for six. I'm hoping that the cancer cells didn't get a chance to spread.

    They used to be occupied by holding a microphone, but now it's all lapel mikes, they've got to do something with their hands.

    Is this akin to what the Princess of Wales tried with that Mothers Day image that backfired?
  13. At some point it became obvious that news reporters and presenters had been instructed to move their hands continually. It's very annoying and distracting, and the result is that they have nothing left to express emphasis when it's needed.

    Incapable of respecting the laws of their own country (which they have sometimes established), I understand that they don't give a s... of international rights.

    https://realrawnews.com/2024/04/klaus-schwabs-health-deteriorating-after-arrest/ “doctors question whether the maniacal megalomaniac will live long enough to stand trial for crimes against humanity.” Seems totally legit to me.
