he got terribly unlucky.

Its very expensive to use a safety feature? That's insane. 

Thank you Captain Pedantic. Way to entirely miss the point. 

Masi told the teams that lapped cars would NOT be allowed to overtake at 18.27, and then changed the decision to allow some lapped cars to overtake at 18.31, and track clear was announced at 18.32.

Even if they got out of the way immediately, it would have given Lewis a couple of seconds and a fighting chance to at least get past one DRS zone, as it was he was a sitting duck.

But that’s part of the problem; Masi announced the lapped cars wouldn’t be allowed to unlap, RB shouted at him, and he changed his mind within a few seconds, giving Mercedes absolutely no options.

This went beyond “a bad call”; that would assume a contentious interpretation of the rules; here Masi effectively stacked the deck against one driver, and actively ignored the rules using the basic defence of “the Race Director can do what he likes”. You can’t run a sport that way.

FIA is now as credible as WWE. How the fuck can the race director change the rules literally on the final lap? Which make no mistake, is exactly what Masi did.

You’ve never met a British or Irish person have you? Taking the piss is our default social interaction; but the trick is to be able to take it as well as give it.

One thing the last few years have shown me is that cognitive dissonance is much more powerful than I thought, and people will defend the indefensible all the damn time. Max could machine gun Lewis as he drove by and people would still back him on Twitter; “that’s the sign of a true competitor” or some such bullshit.

If she’s so likely to get shot, why is she putting everyone else in harm’s way? And let’s be clear here, an F1 grid is private property with its own pretty extensive security; the chances of someone getting a gun in there, even in a country as ridiculous as the US, are vanishingly low.

Better looking than an ID-4 (and the RAV-4 for that matter), but wholly uninteresting when compared to an Ioniq 5. But to be honest, who ever expects Toyota to be a design leader? 

There are only two things wrong with the iPace, a. Its way too expensive, and b. For the first couple of years of its life you just couldn't get one because JLR had some kind of battery sourcing problem. By the time that was resolved the iPace had been forgotten about by the market, and looked even more expensive…

I would honestly give no shits. I live in Ireland. American corporations do shit like this all the time:

The i3 and i8 were only “too early” because BMW abandoned it’s electric roadmap and restarted the plan half way through their lifecycle; so they were stretched out while BMW awaits new product. The “failure” was BMW’s bean counters didn’t believe the construction methods used by the i models were sufficiently…

I’m really been trying to give it the benefit of the doubt because I applaud brave design and I actually like the interior a lot, but...fuck no. Its not just the grille, its the fat arse, the weird lumps and bumps and the proportions are just, off.

They should have asked the community if anyone wanted to run their forum for them; its surprising how well that works.

He only “had the line” if Hamilton decided to understeer off into the outside gravel trap. Its a tightening curve (90 degree right then about 80 degree left); he didn’t have the line in a million years and he was never ahead anyway.

2nd. Dublin brought in 30kph limits across large parts of the city a few years ago and its horrible and stupid, and Paris is vastly larger;  they're going to hate it. And while I can see the desire to reduce the number of cars in Paris, an awful lot of them are owned by city residents who use them to get out of Paris…

A number that can be easily slashed by 2/3 by stricter driver training and better road design, as has been done in plenty of countries with traffic densities as bad or worse than the US. Moving from intersections to roundabouts could cut deaths in half on its own.
