  1. It was 1-6 for the longest time. 1-10 seems reasonable to me.
  2. Fuckin’ Ferrari fans, I swear.
  3. Jimmy Clark is the goat, no question.
  4. Yeah, but you've been on that train since he "pulled the strings" to get Danny Ric fired, so that's the way it is I guess. Once you've made your mind up about someone, that's it.
  5. Well, I don't really give a fuck about any of that so I guess we're at an impasse. Oscar operates on deadpan, so I don't really buy it, but whatever. I don't care who comes in first or who comes in second for Macca, the important thing is the team is back in action.
  6. The only thing that wasn't inevitable was Lando actually letting Oscar through. I mentioned three or four incidents earlier in the thread. Some move over, some don't. As much as I dislike Max, I don't really have a problem with him not moving over for Daniil. I understand it as a competitive person. He's a prick for a lot of other reasons, though. Lando is a clean racer that fights (mostly) fair, and is a pretty good guy off the track. He just needs to have better starts.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. I think the general vibe is to own your imperfections, don't compromise, and party on. I'm nearing old guy territory, though.
  10. I think we do need to have a discussion about her parents marrying a Jewish man, though.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
