Well, the story is not realistic at all. But at least it was believable to me, as in: it’s not completely impossible.

Combining tactical rule breaking and unsportsmanship with the most unusual accidents and incidents that have happened in F1 in recent years is… a choice. It makes good entertainment.

The story of Brad Pitt’s character himself and the rookie as well I actually enjoyed watching. Was surprised by that.

Insofern sehr spannend was die Beamten hier Aussagen… klar gegen den Hauptangeklagten, dass dieser grundlos Gewalt angewendet hat. Aber dann wiederum sich selbst schützend mit “der Bürger hat einen Gegenstand auf mich geworfen, ich musste ihn zu Boden bringen”

Both Max and him have repeatedly said the same on this and it always confuses me because of the age difference. It must be something like Hulk still doing karting besides his single seater climb up

For me personally it seems like Oscar really 100% thought that penalty was bullshit, and he didnt realize what a dangerous chain reaction he caused by the sudden breaking as the safety car lights turned off.

So now we’ve seen his demeanor when he thinks he is being treated unfairly. Which is different from how he usually behaves. Pretty human.

When was the last time Max was so happy for another driver? I remember something similar last year or the year before? was it for Lando’s first win?

I think saying “their culture” is way too generalizing. The problem is that they had their traditional way of living, and ever since the 1700s the governments all over central Europe have gone out of their way to destroy that. Treating Romani, Sinti and other “traveler” groups very much like how natives were treated in the Americas - their children taken away, families broken apart, languages forbidden etc. That has created a broken community/society. What laypeople might consider “their culture” is not their traditional culture at all, it is a result of their original culture having been destroyed by modern societies.

Obviously the status quo is a huge problem and the main factor in that are Romani people themselves. But I’d argue that it is really hard as a kid growing up to figure out a way that works in between problematic adults in your community, actual racism, reaching a good point in the main society and still not losing your roots.

Max burying his possibilities of getting out that RB contract

Accelerating under red flag is something that they need to punish harshly

Oof the moment Bearman does a stupid red flag pit lane crash, he does a mega Q1 lap

The developers of Fedi software have different philosophies. Some developers are just not interested in implementing and supporting all kinds of AP actors, kinds of media, ways of attaching media etc. Because they want their software to focus on a certain thing.

Others want to implement everything and interconnect with every platform.

Non-heterosexual people exist?

Also: this is food. It rots. It’s simply not possible to move surplus food to other countries that easily, even if it was a good idea (which it isnt)

He seems to have at least some support with the voting national automobile clubs, I assume european ones. (Which is what Sainz sr didnt manage to get)

Also interesting from the article:

Mayer is the son of former McLaren team principal Teddy Mayer, and has held leading positions in US-based Champ Car, Imsa and the American Le Mans Series, as well as stewarding across many of the FIA’s championships, including Formula 1 for 15 years.

He was sacked by Ben Sulayem last year after representing the Circuit of the Americas in a “right of review” hearing into a fine levied on the track following a crowd invasion at the end of last year’s US Grand Prix.

Mayer was one of a series of senior officials who have been fired by the FIA in the past 18 months

Erik van Haren (who is considered close to Verstappen’s personal team) has just posted :

"Many stories and rumors are circulating again about Max Verstappen and Mercedes. The interest from Mercedes is there, and that is also known, but according to my information, there is no official offer, and Verstappen has therefore not said ‘yes.’ "

He added: “We’ll probably know within the next month or so. Nothing definitive yet”

“As far as I understand it drivers have very limited impact on the development of the car these days.” Haas people have publicly said that Hulkenberg joining them enabled them to finally get the kind of feedback needed to solve the issues they had had for years. Maybe that’s an outlier case but I believe the ability of a driver to give feedback for car development is valued.

Das /Dach im Communitynamen steht für “Deutschland Allzeit Chommunity”

@OP: Es gibt hier afaik nachwievor die Guideline, dass man im Post sichtbar machen sollte, um welches Land es geht.

It seemed like quite a few drivers were not improving anyways even without the yellows

“Keep moving the goalposts”? Mate this is my first comment in this comment chain. And it does make a difference to me personally if someone said something before a very public turnaround 5 years ago, or recently after this change
