He was fired, took the rest of the year off running dirt cars, and got hired by a different team in 2021.

She was a genuine contender for first woman WDC but never got the sponsorship to progress out of absolutely owning Jenson Button, Antony Davidson and pretty much every other F1 driver of that generation in Karting.

If a 20something year old racing gokarts against children is considered a genuine contender for first woman WDC then we've still got some ground to cover.

He has one. He streamed a bit during the pandemic and stayed silent the whole time.



German media is going nuts over allegations that former Merc employees now with the FIA are passing intel to Toto. I hope there is an investigation and the FIA does the right thing and hands the WDC and WCC to McLaren now, as the only lawful, and most poggers team on the grid.

I got a 'renewal' email from GP Canada to buy my tickets for next year. They're the same tickets I had this year which were really good. I don't think I'll go next year unless it happens to be outside of the school year but maybe I should buy them anyways to re-sell/gift/hold the seats for a future year.

I kind of don't want to bother with plunking down $900CAD for 2 3-day tickets but I also feel like I'll be letting something really special go. What does SA say?

Here's the view from my seats and you can see all the way down to turn 9.

And it does seem Ferrari is correct with their rules lawyering, that kind of technical change has to come through other channels. And nobody took advantage of the change because their cars could be protested due to that issue.

So at least the Scuderia got some kind of win this weekend! :dadjoke:

I'm in the same boat but with seats in GS1. I say go for it and renew, especially since they appear to be keeping prices pretty much the same (at least for renewals) instead of jacking them up due to the increase in demand. I wouldn't be surprised if they jack the prices up when tickets go on sale to the general public.

Typical cancel culture. Some wokesters get offended and that's the end of a career. That word used to be thrown around all the time when I was his age and it went both ways. The difference back then is none got offended and everyone carried on living life....

I love it when people latch on to a phrase they don't understand.

somebody with other poo poo going on posted:

Try to understand this: to Europeans, some English words do not have the same derogative meaning as to Americans or Brits.
Take the F*** word, for example. You will hear Kimi, Max, and German drivers say it all the time. They will get "briefed" afterward by the PR department NOT to say it again. The folks at Sky Sports go crazy and apologize on live TV when it happens. Europeans cannot understand why a word that is commonly used all the time can't be pronounced on TV. I heard Vips jokingly say F*** you to a colleague on TV at the Macau GP. The interviewer went into panic mode.
The same thing can be said about the N-word. Europeans hear it all the time in rap music. They think it's ok. Americans and Brits, who have a long history of slave trading, are very sensitive about it. Scandinavians, Eastern Europeans, Germans, and Austrians who do not have a history of the slave trade are less aware of its offensive meaning. Yet, the Global Culture is, sadly, dictated by the Americans...

Ah yes, we europeans who use that word as part of our daily vocabulary with reckless abandon.
