Has anybody brought up Spa yet? I bet I'm the first to think of it.

Got any deathsticks?
If it's warm enough it could be a spa day.

F1 youtube put up a video of battles at Imola and the 2005 Alonso Schumacher fight was on another level. I also think that the camera work from back then is a lot better than the current stuff. Really sells how goddamn fast they're going.

Just thinking about what to do with all the money I don't have.
I stumbled across this on YouTube and found it rather...disturbing.

I mean, the video and advertisement for whatever they're selling is cringe enough, but the top comment was particularly alarming.



I thought it was kind of a joke, but maybe I shouldn't be surprised that fans referring themselves as the "Orange Army" might be domestic terrorists.

The Dutch supporters going en masse to huge sports events are being called Orange Legion (and I guess army in some occassions) for decades and are known for being all friendly and cozy singing along without realhostile intent (ofcourse there are alcohol induced incidents to find if you really want to). It's mainly a football soccer thing but some now and then you see this happening in other disciplines as well when Dutch tend to perform well. They're mostly harmless, glory seeking family event trippers. Fanatical club supporters and hooligans or even amongst serious sport fans who know what's up look down on those happy chappy dressed up clowns and being associated with the Orange Legion/Army is in these circles is an insult

Nice strawman chief

But seriously, i do think that Dutch success in F1 do attract a certain type of lovely male audience. I mean, i see it in front of my eyes the way these degenerates comment on my son's red bull cap combined with his ferrari hoody. Auto sports over here tend to be dominated by white lower educated conservative males who hates Hamilton

Keeping tracks away from places likely to flood would mean no racing in the Nether…great idea let’s do it

Ahhhh its always great to see people comment about Spa and how Max got illegal points rewarded for a faux win. But Lewis also got free points for third place. They rather ignore that because it begs the question who got second place ? Was it Bottas or Checo ? No it was George in his shtbox Williams who demolished Lewis in his rocket car in Q3. And we all know what Lewis did in Imola that year on raceday on a damp track. All in all Lewis benefited greatly for being awarded points for an extremely lackluster qualification and probable disaster on raceday in the wet trying to catch Max just like in Imola that year. We saw last year just how phenomenal Max is around Spa.

Latest bulletin from the air force says this is not the worst and it will continue for at least ten days. Unless the FIA mandates air independent propulsion, i don't see any viable options to race.
