Also we should ban advertising car companies since people die in car wrecks daily.


This somewhat happened in Australia. They made laws that car companies couldn't show cars doing illegal things like speeding and doing donuts etc because people keep speeding and doing donuts etc.

Oh, gently caress yes. I haven't smoked for over two decades, but still think the McLaren Marlboro Senna-era livery is the definitive F1 paint job.

Also lotta tough goons ITT salty about having their smokes mildly mocked, lol.

No I’m more upset about the lost revenue from sponsor dollars.

Canada enacted that stupid styled tobacco package ban so all of our smokes are in generic muddy-green brown boxes.

Maybe they should allow smoking sponsors again but only if they have the visceral throat cancer image livery and the stark warning decals.

Now it’s obviously great that he was able to jump out of his burning car and emerge with only second-degree burns on his hands and has no lingering affects that would prevent him from continuing his career. And had a few of his cards fallen differently, it might have been a far more serious outcome. But as it was, it was more of a close call than anything near fatal.

And to borrow one of AJ’s favorite phrases, was it really “death threatenin’?” Not when you compare it to these guys.

It’s real great whenever you guys pontificate about safety n poo poo but don’t race or realize how idiotically top down it is under the FIA. meanwhile like four guys broke their ribs in my club karting last year, yeah the FIA really gives a poo poo about safety lmfao

Bring back the cigarette money so my mediocre enjoyment of this hit sport can somewhat increase, and screw the millions who will die because they saw Marlboro on the side of a car. And I am not even being sarcastic.

How about sprint races instead of qualifying.

Idk, free practice sessions are boring and only watchable on mute thanks to Crofty and qualifying is interesting only in the dying minutes of each session when everybody goes ham. I'd be keen to see if a sprint format shakes it up a bit.

With Karting what can you really do about safety anyway? Like the first 5 seconds I went out karting I thought 'lmao i could seriously hurt myself doing this' and then I forgot about it instantly

There’s plenty that could be done and karting was just one example. I think them doing gently caress all to spa after someone died on it in F2 is pretty criminal and there would’ve been a very different result if that accident was in F1.

don't they constantly try to murder each other in karting, like not "that's a risk of driving" but "he overtook me so I shunted him into a wall and tried to run him over"
