But he'll probably come back like most F1 drivers do when they retire early.


I don't think he'll come back. He just doesn't seem to be a Michael Schumacher type of guy IMO. Could be completely wrong, though.

He doesn't have the competitive fire. Main reason he got champion is that Hamilton blew it.

Ozil and Mourinho as well. :lol:

I feel like most ultra wealthy people use these tax havens so I'm not too surprised, if every tax dodger was exposed I think we'd have a Red Wedding on our hands. It runs deeper than any of us could imagine.

Özil and his shady dad always striked me as tax dodgers.

Another terrorist attack in Germany. This time in Berlin. Similar to the one that happened in Nice earlier this year.

The fact that people on both sides of the fence are so eager to politicise these tragedies is a sad indictment on the state of society.

What may be even sadder is that these acts of terrorism almost feel expected now. The cycle is like clockwork at this point. News of an attack emerges, details are fuzzy. News stations and the left in general pray that it's some kind of neo-nazi/white supremacist/loner thing, the right pray that it's Islamic fundamentalists. Of course it's usually the latter, but there's so much obfuscation of important details via biased news and social media that it's impossible to get a clear, lucid take on the events that transpired.

The victims become pawns in an ugly political game.

Great post, 100% agree.

12 people died, even more are still fighting for their lives and many people/media outlets/political parties have nothing better to do than praying that it was/wasn't a refugee who did all this. It's **** up.

Nothing will change in Germany because the political system is so messed up in the country.

You have Merkel who isnt really a Conservative like her party should be but instead she's basically a more left-leaning German version of Hillary Clinton. She doesnt even like Germany. There's that famous clip where she throws away the German flag at a victory celebration.

The only alternative to Merkel is a government with communists and that's the reason why she has been here for so long and why she wont go away.
