Marshals usually get those bits.

Most of an F1 team's money, particularly at the back, comes from sponsors. Sponsors want TV time, more than anything else. After all, no sponsor is going to proudly say that their team finished tenth in the championship. So they're relying on viewers spotting their brand on the side of an F1 car dur...

Doing multiple tests would quickly clear up the answers, getting three successive FPs is so unlikely, 0.000008, versus three TNs 0.91 at the other extreme. Sorry, I think I'm missing something. If you do the test three times in a row, given that your three outcomes are all positive, the probability...

Absolute scumbags that attacked a vehicle which had a family and a two year old baby inside it. And the worst part? Off duty cops were part of the biker gang and did nothing to stop the attack.
