  1. Go tell the most competitive person you know to lose on purpose. Now, go tell any one of the 20 best drivers on the planet to lose on purpose. It's not an easy thing to do for the person telling them to do it nor the drivers themselves. It's against every fiber of your being as a racer to slow down and let someone by, and that's just in the vacuum of discussion. Now take Lando's last three races into context, put yourself in his shoes, and then pull over for your teammate. Did you do it? You did? Well, so did he. It's not PR perfection, but he's a human being that is willing to put his team first in the end. He's been mostly gracious about it, and even understands he lost the race off the line. Contrast that with Max's antics and I just don't see how you can equivocate. Was it frustrating to watch real time? Yes. Was it also inevitable? Yes. History repeats itself quite often in F1.
  2. Schumi brought a three-wheeled Ferrari back to the pits in a torrential downpour at Spa, all the while blowing his gasket over DC. That tips the scales.
  3. I think the general vibe is to own your imperfections, don't compromise, and party on. I'm nearing old guy territory, though.
  4. I think we do need to have a discussion about her parents marrying a Jewish man, though.
  5. The problem, of course, is that without reining Max in, he's going to keep doing it until there is harm. I just don't get it.
  6. That's fucking disgusting. I'm not surprised, but it's disgusting in a breathtaking way. My wife and I suffered a loss after waiting years to try and it was devastating, and almost broke our will to continue the process. I can't possibly describe my rage if someone went digging around my wife's medical history to find out why we didn't have children. Goddammit, these people are vile.
  7. My impression while watching it live and after the handful of replays was that there was no way he was making the corner. I don't think there's anyway he could have made the move stick - it was basically a more extreme version of his understeer into turn 2 that cost him the move earlier in the race.
  8. We Millenials thank you for your service.
  9. I'm sure you've seen the snowball on the floor of the Oklahoma congress? Checkmate.
  10. Magnanimous racing legend Lewis Hamilton saves Jos Verstappen's petulant racing infant.
  11. Was Verstappen even investigated for the dive bomb that almost took out Lewis? How does he not get a penalty for that? Wow.
  12. Poor Lando.
  13. McLaren falls short in 1-2 victory.
  14. Fernando is faster than you. Multi 21. Max/Kvyat in Singapore. Countless other team orders. This isn’t a brand new situation, guys.
  15. And yeah. Max the Driving Baby is back in force. You love to see it. What an asshole.
  16. You don’t slow down by three seconds when the race is still in the balance.
  17. The only guy left was Lando. It was over if Yuki didn’t crash.
  18. He'll play -12 the rest of the tournament and miss the win by one stroke.
