It's hard to say just how good Vandoorne is ATM.

I forget he's even racing until he's out.

Technically correct because Palmer didn't make it to the grid. (Also Erricson's worse, just more anonymous)

Ericsson doesn't spear into people like a rugby player every race though.

Which in fact is a reason why he's worse than Kvyat

So not only did they not bolt the cylinders together, their entire dyno is so poo poo that they couldn't simulate the g-forces.

Honda coming clean about everything just shows how incompetent they really are.

Like, are they trying for pity or is this them begging for Mclaren to drop them already?

Imagine if Red Bull picked up Dixon instead of Bourdais.

Formula 1 World Champion Scott Dixon would somehow not be the most fraudulent champion in F1 history.

Most boring? Certainly.

I'd rather see James "Hollywood" Hinchcliffe or Robert "Hideious" Wickens or Latifi from F2 than Lance Stroll.

Hinchcliffe is too fun for Formula One.

When did Lewis do that? For a second I had this vision of him hurling a wheel of his car, like a Pirelli tire, on the track.

Didn't he do it last year after his car broke? I mean, after one of those times his car broke?

I think he did it at spain last year and Valencia in 2012, Like nice job being a babby and loving up a steering wheel that costs more than my car.

Doesn't like Spaniards. For shame.

It is not. Croft and Brundle are two of the worst commentators in any sport worldwide. They are only "miles better" if by "US crap" you mean Phil Simms, and even then, that's a stretch.

Phil Simms makes me laugh with how inept he is. Croft and Brundle don’t. I’d watch Phil Simms ramble through an F1 race over those two.

I don’t like Silverstone, even when the racing is good there. Same with Hungary.

On the other hand; Spa, Singapore and Canada can all have terrible races and I’ll still be invested in it.

This last race was actually fun, so people complaining about it being boring just seem to be actively ignoring the action on the track. Which I will do next British GP.

Silverstone is good fun to drive.

I can believe that, I just don’t enjoy watching it all that much.

Bring F1 to Cleveland Airport.

Actually, just bring back Indycar.

Looking it up I think I'd appreciate it

What's the worst spirit you guys have ever had? My vote goes to Pitú - it's Brazilian cachaça, a fermented sugar cane spirit with a repulsive and neverending aftertaste

Cachaça is really temperamental, which sucks in terms of quality control. It’s also really poo poo by itself, and is either at it’s best with citrus (limes and oranges), or in baking.

So yeah, not the best straight alcohol, but there’s bourbon for that.


My favorite Cognac

This is correct. Turkey is the worst meat. It's like chicken but poo poo and much harder to cook. I moved to the US 5 years ago and every time I've had Thanksgiving dinner it was bland turkey and hosed up casseroles I've never even heard of, so my thanksgiving dinner would be a few slices of turkey, ham and some dinner rolls. Have Americans not heard of roast potatoes or something?

Get new friends to do Thanksgiving with. I roast potatoes and have some mashed potatoes so everyone can get what they want.

American Truck Simulator/Euro Truck Simulator 2 is a zen game where you put on a podcast/audiobook/music, chill and haul some poo poo.

I'm hauling a 185k lb transformer oversize load using the entry level Kenworth truck with some heavy cargo upgrades from Phoenix to some gently caress off place in New Mexico and it's great.

North or South? Northern NM is prettier. Lots of mountains and good curvy roads.

Hey, if someone wants to drive through virtual New Mexico, they’re saving the 15% chance that their car gets stolen. gently caress I wish I had that option.
