It IS a relatively easy drive - if you’re not a moron. For Joe Average though, there’s plenty of photographers that camp out on the sharper corners to post your shame for all to see, KillBoy being the most famous : https://www.killboy.com/

Let me counterpoint the apparently unpopular view then:

Look : even if the race had gone on two, or five, or ten more laps, Max would still have won, simply because Mercedes fucked up the pit call when the safety car came out, and Lewis was left out on-track on 40-something-lap-old tyres, while Max came in for new softs. Even if all the lapped traffic was allowed to unlap,…

..except if you look at the actual telemetry, Max was not braking before - or when - Lewis hit him..... he was trying to slow down to get Lewis to pass. One analysis of such :

Oh I’m going a lot further back than this race. It’s been evident all through this season. It goes back to 2015 and seems specifically to have a LOT to do with one of the stewards, Garry Connelly, who appears openly hostile to Max.

TBH if I was Max, I’d just say “fuck it” at this point and not even bother with the final race. I mean if the FIA give him 2 points on his super license for pulling over and slowing down to let Lewis past - as the FIA instructed - then there’s really no hope. Even my fervently pro-Hamilton friends and colleagues…

Did the Gran Turismo series ever sort out their abominable “AI” ? By which I mean the “AI” drivers being 40-ton bulldozers on rails, cornering at impossible speeds, and taking no account of you being there as a player? The “AI” cars would never do anything but take the exact same line, every lap, and if you happened…

Couterpoint - I’ve flown transatlantic 8 times, round-trip this year. Trust me, wearing a mask on long flights is not a problem unless the wearer wants it to be. The flashpoint is created by people who are selfish and arrogant and think that what they’ve “learned” in their TikFaceInstaTube social media echo chamber is…

Ballaban is just proving that FSD-beta is a glorified level-2 system and nothing more. Teslarati and all the fanboys refuse to accept this and will fight tooth and nail to argue otherwise, even stooping to such outright stupidity as blaming an “inexperienced operator”. Umm. A “full self driving” system means that you…

“Tesla influencers” = fanboy. “Influencer” is not a thing - that’s someone who publishes videos and expects freebies for everything they do.

He’s so petty and vindictive. Did you expect anything else? I fucking hate this douchebag. I just can’t support anything with his name on it any more be it Space-X or Tesla or whatever else he tries to do. He just taints everything now.

The problem with all of this is that US manufacturers (as did many in the West) looked at the Toyota LEAN / Just-In-Time model and said “that’s how we can save money!”. The difference is that Toyota made sure they could adapt to supply-chain issues with surplus stock on mission-critical items. Western manufacturers…

Probably. Although if you’re driving on our nation’s pothole-ridden roads, the chances of you being able to move that switch with any precision while driving are absolute zero.

TikTok “stars” are only “stars” because pieces like this get written. Stop inflating their egos.

Yes - welcome to the rest of the world. Now go and fill up in the UK and see what it costs. It will make Germany seem cheap. Then hop over to Iceland. That will make England seem cheap.

That whole Shaq thing destroyed what had otherwise been a great weekend. The vehicle was idiotic and had no place at an F1 race, and why the fuck was Shaq on the podium during the national anthems?
