The scale of Red Bull’s advantage in Belgium has left rivals scratching their heads, as the team have been fairly tied with Ferrari on clear pace for much of 2022. But while theories that Red Bull were profiting from the introduction of a lightweight frame were dismissed, the Milton Keynes-based team pointed to one element that seemed to play particularly into their hands. As the teams have to run at a higher altitude range at Spa because the cars can’t run too close to the ground because the compression at Eau Rouge risks hitting the floorboards on the track, this meant some of the RB18’s power was excessive....

Dockery said the seller – Paradise Development Homes Limited (PDHL) – had almost the same name as the developer and a private lender called Empire Finance would provide mortgage finance. For Dockery, who is Black, the terms weren’t indicative of much, but rather one of several major red flags that prompted him to post a warning to a Facebook group for members of Toronto’s Black community interested in real estate....
