All other drivers are ultra-committed and want to go on to the late 30's except Nico and before him Mika Häkkinen.

He also knows that to beat Lewis Hamilton; probably the best driver in the world; he has to be fortunate (as this year when Hamilton's car broke down all the time) and race at a level he struggles to be at.

I have my doubts regarding this 'family reasons' thing. Fatal accidents are ultra-rare these days. It's not like MotoGP, where I'd genuinely believe it. Speaking of MotoGP, Valentino Rossi will do his 18th consecutive season there next year. I'm not a fan of his, but that's commitment!
Mika Häkkinen's career cost him his marriage and the near-fatal crash early in his career left a permanent scar to him. And as he truly hates publicity, so being in the constant spotlight annoyed him.

I understand Nico's decision. He has a small kid and wants to spend time with his family.

No, wait...

edit: I started to wonder what Mika Häkkinen is doing these days. Apparently in June it was revealed that he's getting married.

Saudi woman pictured not wearing hijab faces calls for her execution | The Independent

What a brave girl that is and what a hellhole that country is...

"our friends and allies" as Bushy Wushy would say. Disgraceful. They're leaders are just as bad as Iran if not worse!

And the Saudis are one of our main export partners in weapons. In Sweden there would probably be a huge sh*tstorm in the same situation. Here it's like "yeaaaaaaaaaaaah, uhm, we'll look into that... maybe..."

You should be greatful having such a good intelligence partnership with the US. I wish we would have the same.

But I'm not surprised. Speaking frank isn't really in fashion in Sweden these days.

Oh, and about the defence... classic:

They're our top exports partner I think. Seems like they're one of the main export partners of pretty much any country that sells weapons and they sure make good use of these in Yemen.

Yikes. How much weight on each workout? None of that for me as I don't train legs.

I remember reading an interesting article questioning what makes a school system great. They talked about how South Korea and Finland score highest on tests in the world, but they also score highest on student unhappiness and stress as well. Sweden, although we've started scoring kinda low on the tests recently, on the other hand has got the happiest students in the world.
Can't find the article though.

Yes, France is the top supplier of the Saudi military. Quite a few countries refuse to sell to them, but France and Finland among others just turn a blind eye. And it's not like I would care. Like senator Clay Davis from 'the Wire' said: "I'll take any motherf**kers money if he's giving it away".

That is true. While the education is top of the world, the facilities aren't. Schools are old, sometimes riddled with mold, facilities outdated and not up to the 21st century, the school system is very authoritarian and not very student responsive.

But still:

Must be very low weights, I do about 40 sets each exercise and it nearly kills me.
