They’re coming home! The wonderful news we’ve been waiting two years for. The end of this nightmare.
This must be the start of a very different reality for the whole region. We all deserve better. L’chaim - to life

I’m not sure that this café, “Fournos”, put enough thought into how it looks when you submit your expense receipts.
For the non-Hebrew readers suffice it to say that we don’t have different letters for F and P and first time this showed up on a credit card statement I was a little shocked

Has F1 considered developing a special “rain tyre”? They could bring maybe 3 sets to every race for every car so that when it rains the cars can still go out.
Just a thought.

Spa is always affected by rain so why don’t they hold the race in the middle of summer?

Italian cycling champion Gino Bartali carried forged exit visas hidden in his handlebar and seat to Jews in hiding during WWII, & ultimately helped save an estimated 800 Jews from the Nazis.

“Nir's journey took him from a little boy with big dreams and playing with Lego to board rooms and making big decisions. It's a story of passion, determination, dreams and confidence, perhaps even naivety at times, as well as overcoming failures”

Saw the #F1 movie and really quite enjoyed it. If you accept the basic premise that a 60yr old driver who wasn’t even successful in the 90s could jump into a modern F1 backmarker and be competitive then all the other belief-suspending details are just that, details

Bought a couple of these postcard prints by Guillaume Lopez when I was at Le Mans. Really wanted his larger and very beautiful cutaways of the Alfa Giulia GT and Lotus 49 but they were too big to take home. These postcards will frame together nicely though. When you know, you know

Now that I’m no longer there I can say that I was at Le Mans over the weekend. Can’t get home because the Israeli skies are closed and it’s very difficult being away from most of my family while they’re sheltering from Iranian missiles but this is our lives now. Le Mans was great though…

I saw Brian Wilson play near Tel Aviv, 9yrs ago almost to the day. It was one of the most moving, poignant shows I’ve ever been to as he performed the whole of Pet Sounds after all that he had struggled with since first recording it. He was a true musical genius. We’ll miss him. Good Vibrations

With SandCats rolling out across London (according to the BBC, I couldn’t possibly comment), the question of the relevance of aesthetics on vehicles like this has come up again. You can read what I think about this at the link: www.linkedin.com/pulse/looks-...

Mercedes strategy at Monaco today: “we have nothing to lose so let’s take a massive gamble by not going into the casino at all and maybe the money will just fly out of the door at us while everyone inside drowns in a freak vodka accident”.
