Agreed. VR, much like AR, has plenty of industrial and scientific use cases. It could be good for consumers at some point but it has to get cheaper and less bulky.

Lmao at the same old institutionalised hate for good young drivers. I remember everybody saying how Hamilton was too young for binning it in China and how Vettel was a binman for hitting Webber at Fuji. Stroll has the potential to be a future WDC and he laid down a pretty loving clear marker this season.

Lance Stroll getting a podium in a bizarre race in Baku is definitely the same as Lewis Hamilton nearly winning the title in his first season. (it was also a joke at 1500, guy who repeatedly posts about how he's not watching a race while it happens, saying "just watch the races")

Stroll was at least better as a rookie than Magnussen, who also fluked a podium and is unbearable as a person.

Speaking of young drivers, there are currently 3 seats still available. We think Williams are going Kubica but my Wild Theory is that they are waiting to see if Sauber get made the Ferrari/alpha jr team as if that falls through there may be more money to be had for one of their young drivers before they commit.

Like right now my high projection for Stroll is that he becomes an Andrea de Cesaris-like driver who's widely derided but ends up getting a 15 year career as a relatively safe well-funded option for a midfield team.

Stroll is actually hot loving garbage and will never amount to anything. Please ignore my previous the PMs were coming from inside the thread. Stroll isn't even haphazardly fast like Pastor was where the speed was there but with zero control so it was always a matter of time of who he was gonna torpedo into next. Stroll is just slow poo poo rear end from a poop.

Felipe Massa is a decrepit old fraud with a brain injury and if you get outscored by him in the same car you should, IMO, immediately lose your FIA Superlicense by rule.

Williams would almost certainly have won a race since 2014 if they still had Pastor Maldonado. I am not trolling. He won on merit in the 2012 car which was a far shittier car relative to the grid than any of the Williams-Merc cars.
