Pretty sure people just go to Phish shows to buy hallucinogens.

I was thinking about this the other day, do you think everybody working at Philip Morris smokes? Would be cool to get a job there but I don't want to start smoking again.

A few years ago my employer sent a team to meet with them in New York. Even though smoking is banned indoors in NYC, you could smoke anywhere in their building.

I'm watching 2011 Australia where they start the broadcast with a moment of silence for lives lost in Japan (Fukushima) that Martin Brundle talks over in its entirety (explaining the moment of silence).

It's quite incredible that someone can be doing something so badly for so long.

e: 2011 is also the year of HD broadcast resolution. huzzah.

I'm a Marlboro livery traditionalist. You can't beat the classics (aside from that yellow Marlboro lights one Keke drove for like a year or something )

The awful Penske IndyCars ruined the Marlboro livery for me

2021 season re-watch status:

Forgot Marcipan. Everyone is making GBS threads on him from race 1, including the commentators. The only driver they will straight up shittalk.

"Ooh there goes marzipan - was afraid he wasn't gonna spin this race"

He is also so consistently poo poo that Mick shines so much in comparison its ridiculous...

Yes, and lap 1 is overselling it. He crashed in turn 3

The formation lap lasted longer than his entire race.

Yeah, might be the one where Croft, et al. were laughing at the Mazispin joke.

I can confirm that while 9/10 doctors will tell you that smoking is unhealthy, 10/10 will admit it's pretty loving cool.

I work for a different Big Tobacco company and the number of smokers is only slightly above average.

Long ago you could smoke anywhere in the office, now we just have smoking rooms in all offices.

Also I have some gossip on Big Valt!

Lady I work with is friends with Valtteri's girlfriend's mum. They are big into cycling like Valt/Tiff is.

Apparently he loves helping out at all the events she enters, if he isn't racing himself, and loves interacting with fans and is just an all-round great guy. She said there has been maybe 1-2 times where he has been avoiding interacting with people and that was just a case of pulling his hat down low, and even then would still stop with fans if they spotted him.

Also apparently loves joking/messing around with people at the events as well.

So, as we already knew, much like Sir Lewis, Big Valt owns!

yeah f1tv streams all of them, but they dont tell you about it so the easiest way to get alerts about them is by adding them to your calendar through this service
