It took staring at that (very good) illustration for me to finally get the joke. In fact, I think I had to try as hard as Theophany did reading poty's political thing. I don't understand why the comedian (lol) would focus on his nose instead of his very obviously Minecraft-square head. :thejoke:

It's like that old adage about how explaining a joke is like dissecting a frog. The comedian in question is more about immediate shock humour, but there was a degree of nuance I've no doubt I've inferred and overstated when the comedian's original intent was basically 'lol his Square head <insert sexual reference>'.

I am really bummed about DIffey Matchett and Hobbo not commentating any more. No other broadcast I saw was as good as them. Maybe I didn't give the BBC a chance? I seriously seriously do not want to watch Crofty and Brundle for two hours uninterrupted every weekend. This is a major step backward for F1. Never thought I'd say it, but bring back Bernie.

It'll be ok.

Once Palmer is arseholed out and Lewis gives up on F1 to become a Prince impersonator they'll either commit ritual suicide or calm down and start commentating properly.

The MGU-H is the most interesting part of it, and is what is allowing merc to reach 50% thermal efficiency.

A simple turbo 4 on the back and electric motor on the front would probably make it easier for new entries though.

Nobody ever seems to remember or talk about this but its that last lap fight between Big Bobby K and Massa in his Prime at Fuji in the wet.

Back two dumptrucks full of money up to Danny O'Dwyer and Drew Scanlon's respective houses. At least they would be entertaining and have an excuse for making the odd error in driver identification. Drive another 3 dumptrucks full of money directly to Are Jense and get him to do pitwalk/gridwalk/touchscreen/notebook. Make sure he always has a drink in his hand, Julian-from-Trailer-Park-Boys-style.

I'd put money towards that Patreon

EDIT: Also LOL at Americans having to suffer with Brundle and Crofty, especially Brundle's bitterness over Palmer and his cringe worthy Grid Walks

I don't normally get on board bashing outspoken drivers especially when it comes to safety concerns and such. I mean I'm a huge Sir Jackie fan....

...but holy gently caress does Grosjean actually finally define someone that really does whine way, way too much and really should just "get on with it" as they say!

Spicy take: I actually quite like current Fuji Speedway, it's a very nice place to watch motor racing and I'm excited to head there again for the WEC in a couple weeks. Also watching that lap there is so much temporary grandstand seating up at Fuji there, they must've had a ton of people. Understandable but still massive compared to how many people go for the next-biggest event.
