Is it me, or is 'research' becoming extinct on the FP?

I feel like 10 posts in the last week were too soon (i.e. not even a Google search to look for more info), and had too many spelling/grammar errors.

The need/churn of new pages is what is driving it I think.

There was obviously some research, but if the 3mph info was included instead of ‘YouTube video evidence’ it would have save me a Google search, and making two posts myself.

Oh wait...that’s what they want!!!

I hope.

Yeah, I generally like Stef’s writing, but this..

I feel as if there could have been some workaround to make it happen for this test had Ferrari given The Grand Tour a longer leash.

feels like lazy journalism to me. A quick Google search of, “can a laferrari run in full electric mode” led me to this article http://autoweek.com/article/car-news/laferraris-all-electric-mode-has-never-been-secret , which even notes those old articles Jalopnik put out about the full-electric mode years ago. Not to mention that as a major automotive news outlet, I can’t imagine that it would be difficult to reach out to a Ferrari PR contact for clarification.
