if lewis were the first openly gay world champion he would be famous and marketable beyond his wildest dreams. for that reason alone i cannot believe that's the thing he'd get a "super injunction" for.

So what do you think he would get one for (not being antagonistic)

Lewis unusually quiet on snapchat except for a single, solitary update


I hope there's no actual drama going on around him taking part at Monaco, mostly because I'd quite like to see the snap's he'll (maybe) be taking of the area :v:

Well, yes. Lewis being benched because he got into a fight in a club over a gay sex tape someone has of him with his "security guard" friend would be a beautiful thing.

So either you're clutching desperately at straws trying to hype up a tabloid story that has about as much credibility as your CV when you claim you got more than 3 GCSE's, or you're stopped-clock-correct and therefore coming into the thread trying to tell people they shouldn't like Lewis Hamilton any more because he's gay. Of all the people in this thread that I actively disagree with you're the only one whose posting I can't stand. Can you just gently caress off?

Are we going to get some video of this. I had some of last weeks trackday but it just has several slow warmup laps in the wet and then mostly a shot of b-pillar because the go pro I borrowed had a crappy mount.

F1DriverQuidenBerg

I can post some practice video when I can mount it on the side bumper unfortunately the FIA approved mounting point creates a ridiculous amount of vibration, I looked at the last race video and wasn't very good. Might be able to get a gif out of me flying off the corner after the straight trying to take it full throttle.

I went go-karting in Portugal a couple of weeks ago, a nice out door circuit about 1100m long. 390CC Go-Karts, no fire suit, just a helmet, no safety video or any bullshit, just straight out for a warm up, qualifying and then a 25 min race.

I had been up late the night before drinking hard, including quite a few shots of the grappa-like moonshine that they love in Portugal.

After about 10 minutes of the race itself I had to slow down and not push hard because I thought I was going to throw up in my helmet.

fun times.

still less embarrassing than Jedit at the goon karting though.

Goon karting was great. I remember finishing my qualifying lap and thinking "That's got to be top 5" and then being 15th out of 30 or whatever, 3+ seconds off the pace. Does anyone still have the paper slip from that?

Do you think F1 will have an openly gay driver before or after an openly female one?

I've been at it just over a year now and it really does becomes a battle driving those things past ten minutes, especially in the heat.

I'm completely out of my depth since they put a minimum age on the higher weight class so I'm now racing guys 5-10 years younger than me that have been doing this their whole lives.

What's the story with Jedit and goon karting?

Pirelli think the new ultra soft will be a viable race tyre for monaco and the teams seem to have picked quite a lot of them. In case of late safety car break glass or does it last longer than predicted?

How often does Monaco get re-paved? I thought street circuits were normally pretty rough on tires.

I think Pirelli heavily implied that it was a "Monaco" tire when it was first announced, so not that suprising. They said something to the effect of "We only expect to see it on some street circuits"

A bespoke Monaco tire could actually make the race interesting.

I'd like to see a tyre that's not so punishing with the flat spots, degrade normally lap by lap but not punish drivers for trying daring overtakes. It was somewhat ridiculous that Ricciado's tyre punished him by exploding a few laps after his one serious overtaking attempt, had he been successful then it still would have gone bang, but instead of a pit stop gap between him and the guy behind he would have had Seb right on his gearbox which is the wrong kind of exiting imo.

It might have helped if I'd sat in a kart before.

Anyway, it was a moot point. Just as I was getting the hang of moving the thing without pulling a bootlegger every ten yards, my wrist started to feel weak and I had to pull out before I lost what control I had. Turns out I have hyperextended tendons in my left wrist and I'd overstressed them.

This raises an interesting question though: is Mercedes sabotaging Lewis because he's British or because he's British and they think he might be gay???
