Can’t wait for this to be spun into a breathless headline about a TESLA recall (no need to mention any other automakers)

sure looks like it, then runs across a live pit lane without looking

Agree. It was too aggressive, against the rules racing (and he was penalized [albeit with no impact]) but saying he used his car as a weapon is hyperbolic clickbait. We’re not talking about dan ticktum passing the field under a yellow flag to spear an opponent he felt wronged by

verstappen is also sometimes considered belgian because his mother is belgian and that’s where he primarily lived growing up

Not to mention that professions like law and medicine have objective standards that must be met to practice. No one’s letting you perform surgery because you’re really good looking and a parent is a prominent surgeon without the necessary qualifications (that [arguably] compared to a profession like acting, requires…

as apt as ever

It’s nuts that this is continuing given lawrence stroll is not the sole owner of the team. How the hell is the rest of the consortium ok with competing with one hand behind their back? It’s not like lance is lousy at racing but a savant at car development or something like that.

A decent looking concept with a great powertrain but pontiac, like GM as a whole, it was a huge ship making a turn in the right direction when it got caught in a storm in ‘08.

In fairness, it’s a lot easier to delude oneself with “that guy painted the N word on his own garage” than accept and address “there are people ‘on my side’ who are too extreme”

ah yes, pages straight from the westboro baptist playbook

their “brand” is so fucked at this point that when i see the name i don’t think about environmental issues or anything related to it- just “oh, the jackasses who vandalize stuff”

where were you for the movie se-seven-en or the tv show numb-three-rs

yep, this is the equivalent of trump’s “i was joking when i said that” re: him saying something extreme and seeing that people didn’t react to it the way he thought

don’t know what this site’s boner/paid content arrangement with little car company is, but they’re $40k power wheels for adults that you can only drive around your estate

I agree on the aviation industry needing to do more to attract a more diverse base of talent, but it’s a bit odd that the same part of the political/cultural spectrum that’s fretting over the term “cockpit” becoming male coded considers “from the river to the sea” ok and ‘you just don’t get it, stop being offended’

completely agree on bathhurst. It’s an incredible race and a hell of a spectacle, but not really “global” enough to be part of the triple crown. I feel the same about considering something like the daytona 500

completely unrelated to the article but i grew up with the kripke family and my most vivid memory of them was that they had neo geo (and were fine people but still, i’ve never seen a neo geo in person since)

I feel like there’s a distinction between defending someone and observing the balance between editorializing and reporting. If you were curious about seeing a mark walbergh movie and 80% of a review was about how he beat the hell out of a vietnamese shop owner you may come away wondering if that was better left to a…

I’d get it if something like a camry owned by walker was being sold and people were excited by it, but this is a rare, desirable car irrespective of past ownership.

wait until a writer is itching to give their political opinions and finds a way to wedge “kind of involves a vehicle” into it
