https://arstechnica.co.uk/cars/2017/04/formula-1-formula-e-street-circuit-law/ This would be rad as hell, but I doubt it will ever happen for F1. Especially now the Mayor is basically driving me out of my own goddamn loving town with the ULEZ.

Yeah, Pikes Peak is THE hill climb, like how The Indy 500 is THE Indy Car race and Monaco is arguably THE F1 race. It's the one everyone knows about and draws all the crowds and fame, but there's a lot of other ones out there if you know where to look.

GP predictor standings are out (and added to the OP), get 'em while they're hot! "The Worst Thread" league standing following round 2: China  New work laptop so you'll have to deal with my lovely MS paint arrows, but im going to start indicating positions changing or staying the same, along with how many places you changed. Problem is this week, drat near the whole time 10 shot clean from the bottom to the top (only the black ovals stayed the same), so i didnt have their old positions to compare to. Once the top 10 stabilizes i should be able to do more coherent position changes.

There are no hills in Holland, that's why Max Verstappen is the best driver currently in the game.

Rev. Dr. Moses P. Lester posted:Serious post it's depressing to me that this is not mentioned even in the slightest passing by any of the F1 media that I've seen. This should be talked about and Jos should receive some kind of social stigma for it. It's like NFL players who are all rapists and murderers and dog torturers etc. and all the team owners are racists and sexual assaulters but at least SOME of the media does mention these things some of the time and every now and then someone gets suspended for a week. You'd think the British media especially, hating everyone not from Britain as all Britons do, would be happy to lambaste a lowlander with a history of violence. I think part of it is probably because he's wealthy and a lot of the times the charges either get withdrawn or quietly settled out of court to minimise any public exposure. That doesn't make it right and I agree that more should be made of it; there's no smoke without fire and whatnot, but the F1 media rarely seems to occupy the middle ground between a circlejerk around a specific driver (UK/Lewis) or speculative garbage (Benson).

It's funny how they all went on and on about how Flav was tarnishing the sport by being slightly greasy and fixing one race, but you put an actual wife beater in there and not a word is said.

Fixing anything is the worst sin in sports, period. Doesn't matter what else you do, if you fix a game or race, you're banned for life. Unless you smoke weed in the nfl, then you're really hosed.

Let down hard by believing MCLRN can get Alonso to the end of a race and that butt rear end can follow a safety car. Brits are probably low on that list for refusing to list Lewis at the top somewhere. He's from Monaco which is BASICALLY FRANCE and we don't like the French much on average.

Holy poo poo, is that little girl in the picture ?I want her to find a good home. It looks like I'm going to have to retract my "cheering for Bottas this year" statement. Unless there was some technical reason why he didn't finish even close to his teammate, that was an exceedingly poor drive out of him. This will not be the man to inflict another year of shame on PooSham, not the way he drove that race.
