The only way that Alonso comes back is that he still drives for MCLRN and lol at that.

Has Alonso mentioned Sato at all at any point throughout his time at Indy? Heh.

Also, I just realized that there were probably a handful of WW2 vets at the race today and it must have done their PTSD some good seeing a Japanese man win the race.

It was a Tilkedrome before Tilkedromes existed. It has that Istanbul design philosophy of "let's borrow a bunch of cool corners from better circuits", while forgetting to include anything as unique or memorable as turn 8 to give it its own character.

If they can't fix the racing at Monaco, then it's probably time to admit that F1 has outgrown the circuit and they should move it elsewhere.

This used to be how it was for years. I can't say I minded at all.

Monaco was always very hard to overtake at. Always.

There's a haint in the foothills of NC; the haint of the #3 chevy. The rich have formed a holy alliance to exorcise it but they'll never fucking catch him.

I would legitimately be angry if they went back to Magny-Cours. gently caress that place.

The only experience I have with that track is the f1 game from like 2006 on the ps3, and I'm getting mad thinking about it.

Paul F Tompkins twitterered that Frei is a German name.

I like the early years of onboard cameras when there was like, one designated "onboard camera guy" for the whole year which is why every onboard from 1986 is of Johnny Dumfries and every onboard from 1987 is of Satoru Nakajima

This is apparently the very first onboard camera used DURING A RACE (before people throw all the other footage at me) in F1.

No, it just means you're more autistic than I am. Also just realized I have no idea what Alboreto even looked like and now I will google his visage and attach it to this post.
