The toilets/restrooms at restaurants (or at least many fastfood restaurants?) are often shared and used by both employees and customers. It grossed me out a bit a bit at first, especially as they are, in my experience, quite often pretty filthy. So all the nastiness customers drag in could potentially be picked up by employees.

I've been to BKs and Wendys' where I left the establishment as soon as I entered, just because the whole place looked and smelled like somewhere you shouldn't eat. I suppose these were more often than not in pretty rural areas..

While on the toilet topic, I've found public restrooms at e.g. gas stations and shopping malls to often be, uh, less than inviting. I think I've seen more overflowing toilets on a 4 week vacation in the US than I've seen in 40 years over here, in northwest Europe.

To be fair, I've driven east/west at least 10 times over the years, so I've been to a lot of public restrooms and the bad experiences tend to stay with you for longer than the good ones.

He's hopelessly optimistic.. I wish I could shake some sense into him.

Oh yeah, I agree, it's not a good excus. I guess I just find it a tiny bit silly that McLaren are even bringing this up. Yes, it's a point taken away from Lando, a point that could end up mattering come end of season. But, it's also just one point. If some other team had squeezed in a fastets lap it more than likely wouldn't have been mentioned.

And, I really don't find it completely implausible that Racing Bulls' primary motivation was to send Ricciardo off with a fastest lap attached to his stats, although I'm sure they considered how it would be a nice gesture to RB, as well.

If McLaren had a sister team they would of course never have done such a thing. Absolutely not.

Having Danny go out with a fastest lap is a valid excuse, if it even is an excuse. He's a likeable dude and it's not unthinkable they just wanted to send him off with something in the bag.

Sniff really is the worst kind of "friend", isn't he.. Moomin doesn't stand a chance in life, hangin' around him.

He said he needed a partner.. I bet he's his about to get Moomin involved in far more serious crime than picking flowers.

Oh, I was betting on them just giving up - "fuck it, we tried, let's take the rest of year off guys..".

It seemed almost inconceivable that they would simply forget it, so yeah, this explains it.

Craig scarborough has some interesting thoughts on why Mercedes' "zeropod car" struggled so much.

 

Given how the headline ends with a question mark, the answer is no. But it might be a significant part of the package.
