The f1 circus was mentioned in passing compared to the fancy treats offered by the robber barons.

wicka posted:What possible motive would he have for trying to cover it up, bud? It doesn't benefit him in one single way, and now it's an even bigger story because the dumbfuck had to involve himself. It pisses off Liberty and fucks with their marketing the sport as this highly progressive thing by making this poo poo drag out longer. If I was trying to do the only thing avaliable to increase FIA revenues and Liberty told me to gently caress off then I would probably be equally unsympathetic to any issues impacting their business model.

I don't have MBS' thought process so I don't know why he actually did it. but if you're asking me to explain why he would support a mysognist POS then as you can see I've got like a million different explanations as to why MBS might be inclined to do so.

Vando posted:Jos Verstappen is a terrible human being but he was a legitimately decent driver, no way was he anywhere close to Alliot tier. He dragged some absolute dogshit Arrows cars into the points, back when the points only went down to 6th. Alliot also did that in even worse Larrousses what is your point? Alliot also had to prequalify which Verstappen never did.

I could see why it was pulled so quickly, good things aren't supposed to exist these days. Speaking of which, that race loving sucked and I look forward to 2024 being just as poo poo as 2023. No safety car, no mechanical failures, no crashes, just the perfect procession we've come to expect.

Wow. Horner is seeing what it's like to be Donald Trump . Hopefully both get revenge. If this is a maneuver to get Horner out of his position at Redbull then the FIA has a much bigger problem on their hands then the original problem of some wamen being yelled at making their " sport " look bad. It might be a piranha club but this I would think is a step too far if it comes together the way the speculators are talking. Maybe making f-one go down the commie route wasn't the best idea. 🤔
