Anyway congratulation to the two real honest Italian teams, Minardi and Alfa Romeo on their performance on sunday

Worth noting that the only honest Italian team is Scuderia Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri, because Ferrari are not honest and Alfa is Swiss

No, he sucks. Vettel rudely chinked left to make Leclerc put himself in a worse position for the next corner, and Charles just let Vettel hit him.

Despite starting really badly I’ve enjoyed this season since Austria. I’d honestly say it’s the best of the current Turbo era.

Totally agree. It's gone on too long, though. Interlagos had this strange vibe, like extra time in a footy match. I can scarcely believe there is one more.

It's not a typo, there's more than one meaning.
https://www.dictionary.com/browse/chinked

The verb form is to make a small gap larger or smaller.

The calendar should be 16-17 rounds, ending either in Suzuka or Interlagos. I’d compromise on 19.


Too many rounds, too many lovely tracks.

No you meant jinked: "to move quickly or unexpectedly with sudden turns and shifts (as in dodging)"

you just made a dumb mistake (which is fine) and are now getting defensive about it (which is funny) to the point of making poo poo up. much like vettel did when he jinked to the left.


unless of course you actually view what vettel did as "filling in the chink between himself and leclerc" in which case that's super wierd and i'm giving you too much credit. It's fine to not be a native english speaker and make mistakes, just be like lewis and own up to them in a mature and #blessed fashion

In English, past tenses of nouns are often used to create a verb for a related action.
For instance, you'd identify a gap in a curtain as "a chink in the curtains". If this annoys you, you might ask someone to "[un]chink the curtains".
I went to a private Grammar School, comprehensive boy.
Granted I've basically never heard the same word used as a slur, so saw nothing wrong in my construction. I won't use it again if people hear the slur first.

Also lewis got shitowned in that race lmao

agreed my friend! I trust we're using the old english dialect version of "shitowned" that derives from the French "chiteaun" meaning "extremely #blessed and determined in battle" ?

Cool, I used to get the slur on the regular. Outside of specifically the saying "a chink in the armor" I hear it as such.

Also thanks to espn even that got a bit hosed up.

What did you do that for?

This reminds me a bit of a /r/f1 thread I read where some Americans got uppity about the word oriental; the writer was british where it commonly means 'of the orient', but like SA it's predominantly American so probably easier to think about what you type, rather than risk being called racist when you explain what a word means.
