Red Bull are the ones to catch after the Austrian team won their first World Constructors’ Championship since 2013 last time around to end Mercedes’ recent eight-year dominance of the sport. As a general rule of thumb, all teams will announce their new cars, complete with new liveries, before early testing begins in late February in Bahrain.

“Did you feel depressed after your first practice debate?” asked the Tennessean. “God, yes,” replied the man from Arkansas. “I finished fourth in mine.” In the last three decades, American presidential debates have evolved into a high-risk form of low political theater.

Because state statutes allowed for both companies to be fined as much as $10,000 per violation, Facebook and Google potentially owed millions of dollars to the state for the hundreds of ads they had run for local and state elections....
