Re: Therapybox
And as an update to my last post, my mum died yesterday at 1:30 am (Friday 12th). This was 5 years ago now. Life moves on, but the pain of loss doesn't. "What is grief if not love persevering?" Indeed. I think I posted back then about it getting better, which over a distance it perhaps do...

Re: 2024 discussion thread
I'm pretty sure if Russell had simply spun off into the gravel Alonso wouldn't have received such a hefty punishment, if at all. To me, it looks like Alonso got fingered because of where the Mercedes ended up, as if that was down to anything other than bad luck.

On a separate note, I didn't know the full story on that guy either until your post inspired me, ghoulishly perhaps, to do a bit of fact finding.
