there is not enough "lol" in the world

I don't know exactly why, but I can guess that that it's Lewis attending fashion shows, and instead of thinking "what a cool man" designers have gone "race car driver! Good idea!". So now instead of diamond studded suits, high fashion has decided that it would be cooler for him to turn up in his actual race suit.

And rivals.com punning, evidently.

A rivals.com pun is a nickname used to childishly insult a sports player or team, such as referring to the Dallas Cowboys as the Dallas Cowgirls, or the Boston Red Sox as the Boston Red Sux. This brings absolutely nothing to any sports discussion other than annoying fans of that particular player or team, and using one is a probatable offense in SAS.

This is the right opinion to have. DannyRic treats F1 as seriously as you're supposed to; not at all, but it's a good laugh.

But seriously, gently caress Red bull.

Does anybody have any experience with the team hospitality centers during race days? I'm going to London in a couple weeks and was thinking about heading to Mercedes-Benz World for the Monaco Grand Prix, but was just curious if that would be a tremendous waste of time. I also saw that Williams hosts a viewing party as well at their headquarters, but I can't imagine what in the hell that involves that makes it worth £200. Mercedes price of free is pretty appealing.

Do it! Friend of mine has been to a few of them including the last Mclaren one. You get a goodie bag full of free stuff when you leave and cake. It would depend where you are viewing the race from, it may be a room with just the fans and TVs in it, or it may be hanging out with actual staff. I would pay the £200 for Williams because gently caress sitting in a room full of Lewis fans and watching a race with them.

Malaysia? It's 15 mins in and iirc it was a hosed up out of order starting grid, then Schumacher binned it at the start and had to crawl back for a new nose cone, the chain reaction of his crash caused someone to boot Montoya (crazy bastard) up the chuff and he had to have his rear wing replaced, and this is why they are last and second to last on that timing screen picture.

Not to be confused with the 2002 Malaysia race where Schumacher barged into Montoya and FIA decided to penalize Montoya for getting hit by a Ferrari.
