Max did well to get 2nd place after starting at the back of the grid. Great race though. Alonso had a good drive, I thought 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golfingboy Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 (edited) Oh my, just watched a very interesting investigative show here in Montreal. They were talking about the Pandora Papers, and specifically the financial affairs and tax avoidance of one Jacques Villeneuve. Now I’m not naive enough to think he is the only celebrity who ever utilized offshore tax havens, but still….What an eye opener. It starts with him attending a Swiss boarding school, where his classmate became his close friend and lifelong financial advisor who managed all the money. Did a Wiki, and do I feel poor…..tuition is 150K CHF/year, or $202K CAD. Basically the cutoff to make the top 1% of earners in my country, is what tuition costs at that school in the Alps He decided to come back to Canada for a bit, opening a three storey restaurant/club in Montreal and embracing his local celebrity status. What pisses me off though, is he declared income as low as $3,000 a year, even claiming a provincial tax credit meant for the impoverished. This for a man who had just finished a career with yearly salaries of $20M plus endorsements Was always a big fan of Jacques, we grew up about 15 minutes from each other, and my Dad was a huge fan of his Dad, who met a tragic end in F1. But seeing the greed that exists among the elite, when so many people struggle daily just to eat…it’s hard to be a fan of that Edited October 8, 2021 by Golfingboy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only the little people pay taxes." - Leona Helmsley Leona Helmsley will always be remembered for one of the most arrogant statements ever uttered: "We don't pay taxes. Only the little people pay taxes." A touching sentiment from the New York hotel tycoon widely dubbed the "Queen of Mean" but not one shared by a jury of her peers. In 1989 Helmsley received 16 years in prison for a wide variety of tax offenses resulting in several million dollars owed. And in a fitting bit of chronology, the judge ordered her prison sentence to start on April 15 — Tax Day! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to be very tight for the last three races between him and Verstappen. Wondering what Red Bull can pull out of the hate for Qatar. Great race though, I agree.Looking forward to next week.

Also, how come Red Bull was reported to change the rear wing elements when the car was in parc ferme but Mercedes car was disqualified earlier. I have my suspicions as o which team is favoured. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am pretty good of hiding away from the result, but because I spent all morning sorting out my Thai insurance and applying for the Thai pass, I came across a page on FB telling me that Lewis had won. I had watched the sprint yeaterday and couldn't imaging him winning, so was still quite excited to see how he managed to do it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golfingboy Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 (edited) Just saw some highlights, WTF was with Bottas almost getting clipped in qualifying? Anyway, my heart raced a few times, to maintain top speed they basically come inches from the walls, doesn’t look like too many soft shoulders on that track. Beautiful spot at night though, those petrol billions sure can buy some nice stuff. Wonder if Bieber pulled out of his concert, locals down here 🇨🇦 were pressuring him to do so over Saudis’ human rights. Oh well, I wouldn’t say no to $5m for a day’s pay either Edited December 4, 2021 by Golfingboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
