Lap 8. Terrible first lap for Lec. Had to pit for a new front wing after clumsy contact with Gas Running P18. Sainz running P10. Ver leads from Ham and Nor. #StyrianGP#ForzaFerrari#F1
Lap 20. Sainz looks like he's just going round in circles. Making no impression on Tzu. Lec P16, 4.3s behind Gio. Ver 4s ahead of Ham with Per on softs a further 13s behind. #StyrianGP#ForzaFerrari#F1
Lap 40. Sainz going pretty long on his first stint. He'll still be behind Tzu when he does but with much fresher tyres. Could work out pretty well if he goes onto the softs. #StyrianGP#ForzaFerrari#F1
Lap 43. Sai pits comes out ahead of Alo and Tsu and within DRS of Str. That's something!!! Great strategy it turns out!! #StyrianGP#ForzaFerrari#F1
Lap 70. Ham may have saved McLemon bacon by holding up Sai. Looks like we'll have to settle for P6 and P7 which is still a great result all things considered. And with Ric probably not scoring points, it gets better. #StyrianGP#ForzaFerrari#F1
Ver wins. Ham. Bot. Per. Per. Nor. Sai. Lec. Str. Alo. Sai would be my driver of the day. That first stint was immaculate! #StyrianGP#ForzaFerrari#F1
In the past, strategy has been an Achille's heel for the Scuds. That's the second race this season when they've wholly impressed. #StyrianGP#ForzaFerrari#F1
At the front, good to see RBs putting the Mercs in their place. Ham has always claimed he wanted a challenge. Wonder how he's enjoying it now. Looking and sounding quite dejected. #StyrianGP#ForzaFerrari#F1
HAMblePieTime!!

Question: When one applies for a replacement document online on @eCitizenKenya and the system says it is ready, why does one need to pay to print out a physical copy of the form in order to collect it? GoK already has the digital copy, no? Seems like a bit of a scam to me.
Also, if the document is ready, why not send you a digital copy that you can print out? This idea of having people spend hours to pick up "original" documents seems most anachronistic for a GoK that used to describe itself as "digital", no?
Presented my form and now waiting in a large crowded hall for someone to call out my name (no one tells you exactly what it is you are waiting for) and I shudder to think of how folks who are deaf or hard of hearing are expected to navigate this.
Question: How many of the people making the decisions about the terminus actually use mathrees? Seems to me the purpose is to clear mats out of the CBD for the convenience of a tiny, wealthy minority with cars.
Nairobi is still, at heart, a colonial town that believes in segregation and resents the influx of poor miros into its centre. That is why it pines for a mythical glorious past (when the miros were kept out) and hates hawkers and matatus muddying and ruining the colonial fantasy.
We must remember how hard odieros fought to keep miros out. They built Nai without public transport as it was only meant for odieros with cars. They kept miros in slums (which were periodically demolished). Miros needed a kipande to walk its streets. Little of that has changed.
Perhaps this from Lord Colyton in the UK House of Lords on 15 July 1963, the month after the first #MadarakaDay, offers some clues. Basically, he says it was about allowing institutions to find their feet before full independence. A trial run of sorts. api.parliament.uk/historic-hansa…
Mohamed Gani shows how, despite its impressive democratic achievements over the last 30 years, Somaliland's electoral system still struggles with representation of women and minorities. theelephant.info/op-eds/2021/05… #SomalilandVotes
