He's from Chelmsford in Essex, think his accent is a result of attending an international school in Italy iirc.

Naming them after the execs would be better.

Obviously not really aimed at existing fans, but this is disappointing in general:

On the character front, there are lots of stereotypes that might feel lazy to some, although other film critics see it as old-school entertainment. Among other points, it's a bit of a shame that the impressive female technical director Kate McKenna – played by Kerry Condon – becomes the love interest and only builds a good car once told by Pitt how to do her job better by giving him something for “combat”.

You can definitely use a third party keyboard on iphone. They only force you to use their keyboard when entering passwords, which I can undestand their argument for.

I know it's technically true, but referring to Andre Lotterer as an ex-F1 driver seems wrong.

I reckon there was nothing wrong with Lance's wrist, after his temper trantrum Daddy Stroll told him he couldn't race. This wrist story is just to save face.

Probably going to see Bottas in the car then since Stroll isn't going to say he's not driving until the last moment.
