To be honest it reminds me of when the Premier League changed logos and everyone hated it for two months and talked about how much better the old one was and now nobody even talks about it anymore because it looks fine.

It might be my americanism speaking but I can see why they did the new logo if only for the merchandise. I'd actually buy like, one of those track map hoodie mockups they have pictured there (especially an Abu Dhabi track map hoodie as a gag gift for F1 Thread Secret Santa)

Here is your non-personal PM: Wehrlein is a whiny little bitch that won DTM by driving rather good for couple of races, then demanding other drivers backing up to give him DRS constantly so he could become champion. AUDI sent an Audi to kill him, but failed (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zsd4vjJND24&t=20s, and then fired the guy who drove that Audi). So he won, ended up in F1, and yeah....there's that.

He might not be as bad as Palmer, but I still think that a good year of Formula 3 plus a DTM championship (where basically seven drivers did everything so that he won) might be misleading.

That's my meltdown of the day

I didn't know anything actually happened in DTM op.

My main memory of that incident was that it was the only interesting to happen in DTM for like 10 years and everyone got banned for it or something, presumably for the sin of having something actually happen in a DTM race

I actually have heard DTM has been OK the last few years though apparently nobody goes to the races anymore. Also the rise of WTCC and the NASCAR xFinity/Nationwide Series mean that DTM is no longer the worst racing series on the entire planet.

They should just move the MotoGP Japan race to Sugo, where the Superbike race used to be.

Between about 1996 and 2000 there was a good argument for World Superbike being the best racing series in the world.

The 2007-2010 period was also quite good (and SBK 2007-2010 was definitely better than MotoGP was in that time period FWIW).

What is the difference between the 2?

Superbikes are based on production motorcycles while MotoGP chassis are purpose-built prototypes. More or less: MotoGP = F1, Superbike = GT racing.


That's why MotoGP adopting road-bike-relevant 4-strokes hurt Superbike so much in 2002.

Dorna more or less bought World Superbike and deliberately ruined it in an attempt to boost flagging MotoGP grid numbers. (Aprilia and Suzuki returning to MotoGP was more or less a direct result of them loving with the SBK regs, I think the only holdout is Kwak at this point) The Spaniard fraud company must be destroyed.

Hot take: William’s haven’t been very good for the last half of the season because Claire has been off on maternity leave, Frank can’t travel, and Paddy Lowe isn’t known for his leadership skills. This has left them somewhat rudderless during a race weekend and things have gotten slack.

Hot take: Williams haven't been very good because their drivers are an elderly brain patient and Lance Stroll.
