It's not hard to avoid dropping n-bombs.  I manage to do it every day.

I don't honestly think I've ever said it.  I can't even say it when I'm singing along to rap or hip hop songs where its use is ubiquitous.  I just skip those lines.

I do, however, refer to myself often as a "honky gringo" so I guess I'm part of the problem, too.

It’s not silly at all. Without social media, streaming and people that want to get offended by everything these were not stories 15 years ago.  If it offensive?  Yes.  Would we know about it without the current culture?  Almost certainly not.  

You don't even understand what you're saying yourself, so I'm not surprised that you don't understand the argument. Here you make a good point that modern technology has created an environment where more people hear about offensive speech more quickly, then quickly recede back into your comfort zone that it's about "people (these days) wanting to be offended by everything."

You're very close to getting it and I wish you luck.

What a "silly" bar to hurdle.

Are mass protests the determinant for malice?  Do you think Piquet had ill intent with his words? Are there mass protests against him?

Let's take the most popular fora on the internet, what is the tenor of the reactions there?

Do you need to be explained why sponsors take the position they do?  Do you think I'm arguing about the action of the sponsor themselves?

What's silly about the point about differences in motivation, damage, and needing to be thoughtful in reaction and judgement?

Do you personally think what he said was racially motivated, and what do you think is appropriate punishment for it?

 

Don't be fatuous, berry.

You intentionally avoided the entire point. While bemoaning your belief that people overreact to speech you did so by drawing absurd emotional comparisons to murder and other serious crimes. It was a hypocritically laughable post and I simply pointed that out. A young man lost a job as a junior driver on an F1 team and now has an F2 job. Comparing that to people being in a murderous rage is absurd. If you don't want me to call your posts silly you should stop making silly posts.

You managed to avoid answering even a single question.  They’re not rhetorical. Try even the most simple, straightforward ones:

1. do you think hes a racist

2. should he be judged as one

Shockingly, Karun actually talking some good sense in FP1 re: ditching all the extra weight of batteries and turbos, and going to NA V10s running on sustainable fuels.

Hopefully this idea will gain some serioous traction.

I've been married to a Mexican woman and her family for 21 years now. My name has actually been legally changed to "Pinche Guero Pendejo".

My wife is half Cuban.  When I met her family in Miami I heard the word gringo mentioned more times than I’ve heard in the 40 years since.

Now that we’ve covered the what is a racist comment and wives heritage part of the thread can we move on to the fucking actual Silverstone updates. Please.

Oh and my wife is Irish and she’s a pain in the ass.

Nothing much happened in FP1 because rain. FP2 was dry, but fairly uneventful. It was riveting. Sainz quickest. Merc quicker because Silverstone, but still porpoising. Red Bull still finding their setup.

[wood 11,766]

Oh, and Natalie was extremely rude.

I think they found their setup. 1-2 in FP3 with Max blowing away the field. 

[TexEx15 17,949]

Wet qualifying. 

[TonyTexas 10,772]

Miserable weather for qualifying. Rain and wind. 

[texas08 1,599]

Major boos for Max in these post qualy interviews.

[blacklab 12,064]

enough with the racist talk, start a thread in CR if you want to discuss.

[Levi 2,668]

Carlos Sainz!! 

[Hawndoh 2,409]

Brits were going to boo Max regardless of anything. He beat their boy.

[williemackgarza 1,826]

Crazy finish to qualifying.

[kevwun 16,438]

Max and Leclerc both did 360's in Q3.  Both kept their cars on the track and suffered no damage.

[utee94 16,088]

Fred at 7, just imagine what he'd be doing in one of the top cars.

 

 

[kevwun 16,438]

Weirdest thing is that Latifi does well in the rain.  He's a wreck waiting to happen under normal conditions.

[Amos Moses 795]

He’s the George Costanza of F1.

[Anton Chigurh 3,335]

We had flexy wings, now maybe we have flexy floors.

From a German AMuS article, translated.

In their investigations of the planks and subfloors, the Technical Commissioners have apparently discovered that some teams are deliberately playing with the stiffness of the huge floor slab. When the FIA threatened at the last meeting of the technical directors that the middle part of the floor should be uniformly stiff in the future, Red Bull and Ferrari went to the barricades.

The competition suspects that in both cars the ground deforms at certain points, thus increasing the tunnel effect under the car. So there should be enough air between the chassis and the base plate that the floor can move. This could generate significantly more downforce and would explain why the two outwardly so different cars are so much better than the rest.

Have they mentioned Ton Cruise is there?

[TonyTexas 10,772]

Should be a very interesting race with iffy weather for at least the first half of the race. Tire and pit strategy will be the determining factors. Which doesn’t bode well for Ferrari as they seem to always make the wrong choices. 

[ConferenceRoom 6,214]

Martin misses a chance to interview Mika and finds a Liverpool player instead. Good lord.

Seems longer now for an update than when Grosjean crashed…

Damn. Hope he’s ok.

[Buzzrock 15,136]

Just now an ambulance?

[texas08 1,599]

He’s still in the car. Damn .

[kevwun 16,438]

I hope it's because he's ok, but stuck in the car.

Woo hoo!
