Formula One needs a star American driver for the sport to truly take off in the US

That's what the U.S. need. We've got to get a decent American driver running in Formula One. And as soon as that happens, I think the US will just take off even more.

The sport did take off significantly due to 'Drive to Survive', even without a major American driver on the podium, but Horner's point about a US star remains a central goal of Liberty Media.

Jake Marsh is the most accidental alpha I have ever seen

Jake Marsh is the most accidental alpha I have ever seen in my entire life. That's what makes Jake the true alpha is because none of this is intentional. It's all natural to him.

This is subjective social commentary on the office dynamic.

It should be easier to hit a shot if you are seeing three hoops like LeBron James claimed

Actually, if we're actually going into LeBron's brain and seeing through his eyes, shouldn't that make it easier to hit the shot if there are three hoops? It should have counted. he said he shot at the one in the middle. It went in the one in the middle.

Hot TakeBasketballHotSarcastic
Physiologically, seeing triple would not make shooting easier, but within the satire of the show, he's arguing the literal logic of LeBron's claim.

The Lakers will repeat as NBA Champions

I think, unfortunately, the Lakers are going to repeat. what you saw in the second half when he's – even though he's never going to be 100% again, [LeBron] just decides, like, oh, yeah, I remember I'm LeBron and I can go to the rim whenever I want and I can dominate this game.

The Lakers were eliminated in the first round by the Phoenix Suns in 2021.

The F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix will be the biggest sporting event in the world in 2023

I think it's gonna be the biggest sporting event globally this year. I really do. I think that the interest and the hype around that race, I mean, a Saturday night race down the strip in Vegas, who doesn't wanna be there?

The inaugural Las Vegas GP was a massive financial and viewership success, though 'biggest globally' is subjective compared to the Super Bowl or Champions League final.

F1 teammates in Europe generally hate each other because they are each other's biggest career threat

Call a teammate in Europe, they fucking hate each other. Because it's the one guy that's going to kill his career. So they play team, but the reality is they both want to beat each other.

This is a subjective claim from a team principal with decades of experience; it's considered an industry standard view in F1.
