Re: 2024 Bahrain Grand Prix Free Practice & Qualifying Thread

Will Hamilton be asking Mercedes to change his cockpit position back? Oh that's what actually interests you in respect to Hamilton, making jibes. You realise Hamilton isn't some kind of religious deity? People are actually allowed to pass comment. Hamilton made a big song and dance about the cockpi...

Re: FEEDBACK THREAD

Perhaps it's just me and my monitor, but to me, the shading between adjacent nested responses in a posting seem just a bit too similar, making it tricky to follow attribution in some of these horribly long interchanges. Could the admins perhaps increase the contrast just a little bit? How about now?

I guess it's before you started with the polls Mod, I started some as well where people needed to make their own lists.
Yes, but that was DOLOMITE - the ranked poll system was then introduced to save him all the time in having to collate the information in an Excel spreadsheet.
