This was quite a nice change from the usual content. Thank you.

That would be part of it, but I imagine the other part is the association with a Russian oligarch isn't super great at the moment.

are they finally admitting that he is so bad that the only reason he is one their drivers is because his ties to Uralkali? 

If he is dropped, he will just crash leaving a parking lot. 

Jalopnik talks about boats, planes, helicopters, trains, trucks, tanks... just about anything with a motor. This is interesting content that I frankly wasn’t really that aware of. I’m not sure what your beef is. 

Not competing with a site that doesn’t exist yet...

If we seize Russian oligarch assets, it might solve the housing crisis in the U.S.

Your side note is about how Russians aren’t allowed to race under their flag (or compete in any sports under their flag, see olympics and the Russians competing under ROC - russian olympic committee), due to a huge doping scandal that was orchestrated at the highest levers of power in Russia.

with clouds of doubt surrounding this year’s Russian Grand Prix in Sochi...

DNF most likely. 

Good for those drivers. Absolutely something all the drivers should commit to. F1 needs to cancel, and do so because it is the right thing to do, not because they may be forced to because of economic sanctions. F1 seems to rarely do the right thing until too late, so we will see.

UEFA is already backing out of St.Petersburg 

Good for Vettel and Verstappen.

“and the federal tax credit is not a discount; I don’t care what anyone says”

It’s not extra-legal, and it’s not just about the whims of the party in power. The emergency act needs parliamentary approval, which it has received.  The protesters had plenty of notice that this would happen and those that chose to remain can live with that choice.

I think the punishment fits the crime.

I’m gonna buy one and turn it into a mobile vaccine center.

Good. Fuck them.

It’s like they’ve hijacked the word “neutral” and decided it doesn’t mean what it used to mean.

So dude has at least one ex they’re embarrassed to have ever dated.
