People have been eating probes in the worst thread for the Clare Williams jokes for donkey’s years and I for one find it amusing that Mick jr clearly belongs in WEC when Ferrari’s whole Sainz based holding pattern is designed around him.

Who Ferrari 2023/2024?

Yeah, I was thinking as safety has caught up some they're likely just as fast as back then. Not as nice to look at though

I wasn't sure if I should post this or not, but it is bothering me so here it goes:

Last night, when I locked the thread - and I want to be clear about this - it was for the weird misogynistic comments about Kelly. There were some other bad posts around it, including casual xenophobic jokes, and it was just all headed in a very bad direction. I made a quick call to close the thread because I honestly was a little at a loss for what to do because I didn't want to come back to a thread full of weird sexism stuff. It makes me sad to see my words twisted when I tried to be clear that the thread was not locked for the horrible racism that happened against Lewis or defending the racist Piquet family. The thread was just going in an uncomfortable direction that would only get worse.

During that, someone decided to email me the following message from a burner account:

quote:

Subject: gently caress you oval office
"keep defending racists and you'll see what happens next"

So, that sucked. If you want to say that to me, please grow up and post on your main. :lmao:

Anyway, I come here to shitpost about F1 with friends. As an admin, I try not to use my buttons here unless it's an emergency or someone is seriously hurting the community in some way. I hope we can all just move on and discuss the terrible racism situation without making it weird - and get back to race weekend shitposting.

This thread isn't full of misogynists but I understand it might take some context to understand some of the jokes are coming from making fun of an era when F1 was way more openly lovely towards woman instead of the current secretly lovely

5 or so years ago in this thread I called my ex-wife “he” like it was 1986 just in case, but thread didn’t get creepy when they took away the grid girls and were very much pro-not ogling freezing Russian lasses dressed in teabags so It’s alright by me. The Clare Williams thing was just terrible terrible puns.

modern cars are probably just as fast when it comes to lap time despite having like half the horsepower due to tire technology alone

The thread wasn't closed because of people criticizing the racist lmao, it was because people were doing weirdo gendered poo poo about Kelly, who is almost assuredly a piece of poo poo, and feel free to litigate her being one but like come on "max tinged pussy", and paddock bike and it was just getting real weird and uncomfortable for women posters in the thread.

Recognizing that no one probably meant anything malicious by those jokes so no probes, but was just spiraling in a real weird direction.


Anyway, lmao McLaren.

Maybe losing a job that people dream of doing for being a racist is part of the "learning from your mistake" process? I don't get this idea that it's not possible to learn from things if you also suffer real consequences.
