I’ve been watching DTM for the last couple of seasons and kind of enjoy it. I guess like Formula E I get a kick out of seeing a bunch of drivers that never made it to F1 mixed in with a few F1 rejects.

Reminder that Nico is younger than Lewis and actually did quit F1 because he couldn't handle the work required.

I should also mention that a bunch of you foreign dudes should figure out how to pirate TSN from Canada for the next 8 days, because the Roar of the Rings is on and it's gonna be a straight up beat down brawl from start to finish. I'm betting it's going to be Homan on the women's side, and Gushue on the men's.

Going to be easily 10 times more exciting than F1 in Abu Dhabi

Apparently Kubica's performance in Abu Dhabi was some ways short of decisive: http://www.bbc.com/sport/formula1/42199674

The Martini sponsorship is not worth it. They aren't paying very much for a title sponsor, and the "one driver must be 25 years old" rule is an idiotic handicap no one else has to consider.

If anything Stroll's the impediment to Williams not being trash. He's taking up the seat that should be going to a talented youngster. Even without Martini's requirements, daddy Stroll would probably veto any talented youngster from taking the other seat and outshining his son.

Get this. My girlfriend went to order me some stuff from the McLaren team store given they are having a fire sale of literally everything. She ordered one of those grey team “set up tees” that Nando and Stoff wear around the paddock and in interviews etc. The package arrived this morning and guess what the gently caress McLaren ended up mailing her - a loving Mercedes AMG Petronas LH 44 Polo shirt :wtc:

Like, how the gently caress did McLaren have that on hand and mail it?

Last time Lewis won the SPOTY, he lost the WDC (got it stolen from him by a bunch of devious Germans) the following year. Ergo, since he didn't win this year, he's a lock to win the WDC next year.
