We need a vote on who's the best American. Is it Lewis or Otmar or Guenther?

re-watching the race and just got to the part where Sharl absolutely played Max like a fiddle, not once, not twice, but three times.
Played him extra hard on the third one, like didn't even use his hands, like just Jimi humping the mic stand with his guitar and still making great music with it

I think whenever we refer to Max* we should put an asterisk on the reference from now on. Like if we refer to the reigning WDC*, or the #1* RedBull driver, or if Max* qualifies on pole*.

Pleased to see the arch fiend Von Stapping exposed for his international crimes yet again. Very disappointed that the Fraudulent International Autos has elected to collaborate with his underhanded regime. Looking forward to the day when he will be confirmed in a very important championship decided in the Hague.

VSC is a highly fraudulent "safety" feature and any decent honorable motorsport series would just do what they do at LM24 which is virtual pit lane sectors. Shocking and criminal that Formula "One" rejects these obvious steps.

Solkanar512 posted:

How do those work, the affected sectors are under the pit lane speed limit with no passing?

There are sensors around the track and if an incident happens in one area, that area can be switched into virtual pit lane. So when the cars pass the sensors into that area, they have to be doing pit lane speed which is something very low like 30mph. If they're doing over 30, a sensor catches it and they get a fairly big penalty. Then when they exit that virtual pit area, they go back to normal racing. Makes everything very slow and safe in the incident area but allows the race to continue everywhere else. Very sensible and logical and reliable, as opposed to "driving to a delta" or whatever asinine contrived thing based on laptime math that F1 came up with just to be different from ACO/WEC. Which still allows for high corner speeds if the drivers want to do it -- I think -- which is dangerous and defeats the entire loving purpose of a "safety" mode to the race.

I’m pleased that this may have been forgotten already by the world, but yes F1 and more than one team, including McLaren I think, were selling NFTs. It was appropriate because all cryptocurrencies are fraudulent antisocial grifts harmful to society, as is F1.

The rules of course disagree
How so? I’ve been around race tracks enough to know race control doesn’t want any vehicle on track that they didn’t give specific permission to during a session. I’ve had tracks refuse me riding a moped around them even when sessions were closed and track was empty. It makes obvious sense to have tight control on what vehicles are cruising around.

Dude refused to kneel and then went around the paddock bitching about wokeness, even if it was just a gently caress you to lewis personally it still a dickhead makes.
Let's not forget Max's flagship chud performance, which was both on track and kind of off. I will recount:
- Ocon unlapped himself past Max in a race where Max was in the lead or somewhere very high up the order and not in danger of losing position
- Max furiously ran a highly aggressive maneuver to repass Ocon for no rational reason, which resulted in Max and Ocon colliding. Both of them either spun out or crashed out
- After the race Max physically shoved Ocon near the weigh-in
- After that Max called Ocon a p---y (do I have to censor that? I don't know how rules work). Max didn't do that in an angry emotional rant to one of his mechanics in the paddock, he did it in a press conference inside a quiet room sitting on a panel with other drivers talking to reporters.

As someone said, he's mellowed out a bit, he might deserve some credit for not keeping up that level of bullshit. But it shows that he was raised by a violent misogynist and works for alt-right Austrian oligarchs. I guess in his defense you could say he hasn't posted videos of himself assaulting women on his social medias? Bravo Max?
