SUCCHIAMI IL MIO CAZZO DA DIETRO, RANA RAGAZZO



2022 FIA Formula 1 WDC

For real, how did this douchebag end up as FIA prez? The last time we had a new one, there was a huge campaign and vote that took place, whereas with MBS he just seemed to...quietly inherit it? Was it just given to him or did the FIA actually vote this idiot in

He should go back to General Aladeen'ing in whatever fuckman rally he came from

It really is Balestre levels of aggressive incompetence. Mosley was a force for good and Todt was a safe pair of hands, but with any political appointment it's the slimiest turds with the biggest pools of dark money backing them that generally win.

From what I gather, the FIA is pretty amateur in its selection of lovely presidents compared to the mafia that is soccer's global and regional governing bodies where at least up until recently it was just open bribery, corruption and general shithousery.

There are now rumors Ford actually might want out

I dunno, feels like it's Horner/majority shareholders vs. everyone else? ...with FIA backing...? weird

Does christopher horner like vacation? because he has enough money to just go on vacation, forever. but he doesn't. so his mind doesn't work like mine, and i don't get it. he's a psychopath

This is also all distracting from the absolute shitshow that is Alpine. I heard one guy on a podcast do a "hot take prediction" during testing that Alpine/Renault won't be around in 2025 and that sure seems possible. Andretti buyout?

For the people who felt let down by the season opener. Go back and watch the first race of 2020

Absolute shitshow


- 11/20 cars made it to the checkered flag
- Max Verstappen out with engine problems
- Lando podium
- Cars overheating, tires coming off
- Latifi in his first F1 race 1 place from the points (see if you can figure out how that coincides with 11/20 finishers)

2020 was an amazing season. It was covid season and as stupid as it was that f1 happened i was very glad that it did. we also got portilmao, mugello and imola came back. hamilton won a race on 3 wheels, grosjean exploded. we got to see the bizarre sort of oval sakhir track

Other good season was the start of 2014 when the engines were totally new and people were sawing holes in their bodywork at Melbourne to try and get some cooling
