Barretto: Sources suggest Ricciardo would be Red Bull’s favoured driver to replace Perez if required either mid-season or at the end of 2024 campaign, in c/formula1@lemmy.world

Maybe RB sees something in Daniel that we don't. Let's say he's been given the same car as Max, I doubt that DR would be anywhere near Max's performance.

Checo is an exceptional defensive driver, proven race winner this season too. Why gamble and replace him with a driver who left them years ago?

We've done this and the account was later taken down with Netsafe's involvement. Thank you!

Brown is a very bright CEO. Toyota is proven time and time again as a formidable manufacturer. It would be amazing to see Toyota making it's return into F1.

A lot of people have mentioned serving time frame for time penalty and I agree.

I really like points penalty, damn.. that'll cause a stir!

This Wiki article might help.

My 15 year old sister informed me last night that someone is pretending to be her on Instagram. The impersonator uses her photo as their profile picture and uploaded insta stories and photos of her with penises drawn on her face. This is probably the work of an teenager who dislikes her.

This person also contacts her friends through messaging service and harrasses them.

Instagram had declined her request to shut the account down on multiple occasions. I have tried to contact several grey hats online to locate and identify the impersonator but we're finding out that such service isn't cheap at all.

What should we do in this case? Thanks in advance.

EDIT: 30/9/23 Thank you for all of your advice and recommendations. We took screenshots and made a report on Netsafe's website They scheduled a phone call with her where she was able to explain what happened.

The bully account was finally taken down and Netsafe had 100% to do with it. They sent my sister a text message with updates on the case.

We think we know who the culprit is. They're a group of boys from a school in South Auckland. All of them covers their faces when posting on Instagram, we think we know why.

Anyways, I've made sure that my sister is keeping herself safe when online especially when it comes to posting photos.

Thanks again everyone.

Right wing politics in New Zealand? in c/newzealand@lemmy.nz

As others have said, more central leaning. Violence is on the rise with gang activities and rising living cost when compared to yesteryear. Insaying that, I have not witnessed any gang related activities apart from their motorcycle convoys.

I like Danny and Yuki, but I think Liam deserves a seat. That's a waste of talent right there.

Oscar is for certain going to be McLaren's number one driver. The quicker Lando realises this, the better. Forget 2024, but 2025 can definitely be the year he moves to one of the bigger teams.

If you invest in the stock market and expect companies to be making large profits all the time then you're going to be very disappointed. That's not how it works. There are financial reports, market regulators, analysts. History tells us that awful companies with shady practices would always get caught in the end, no matter how big they are.

Everyone should invest, but investors should always do their research.

Lawson undecided on second season of Super Formula in c/formula1@lemmy.world

[–] SouthernCross@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago

There's no point for him to stay in Super Formula, regardless whether or not he wins the championship. It's merely a "waiting room" for RB's talent pool and RB is wasting his time if they order him to stay for another season.
