Me seeing the headline about this video earlier: “God, who gives a fuck about a few hundredths of a second? Next article please.”

My life goal is to get my employer (whose name half overlaps with the name of the sport and whose logo is identical to the Woking team’s) to sponsor or outright buy an F1 team (I’d take FE as well, but the synergy is not quite as great). Now that the cost cap is in place, I feel like this is going to be a much easier…

I believe Formula E’s contract with the FIA bars F1 from going this route until 2048.

Yeah, but adjust to per capita.

I have a very irrational love of Grosjean, so I'm right there with you.

This has been a marvelous year for Woking though—Sainz has a really good shot of finishing in the top 6, and Lando “Meme King” Norris is a wholesome delight. Could we see them in the top three with Mercedes power in 2021? Here’s hoping!

Omg. You mean this IS a thing.

The build quality will be legendary.

I don’t think that’s necessarily true, but I’ll keep an eye on this page for next season:

Looks like Jalopnik is taking these spoiler complaints so seriously, they’re sacking Mack and sending him to write for Road & Track.

Best of luck, Mack. I’ve been really enjoying your F1 coverage and seeing your byline every Saturday and Sunday. When your internship ended last summer, I wasn’t convinced you actually existed in any more corporeal of a form than as a communal byline for all the Jalopnik staff’s worst takes, but I’ve really enjoyed…

Re: Qualy — Classic Verstappen. Gets pole, still decides it’s worth ignoring yellow flags to try for an even faster lap. For a driver with such immense and obvious talent, his judgment (and concern for human life, as we could have had a Maldonado incident all over again) is atrocious.

We should all be so lucky.

Yeah, I’m struggling with this one because I feel like it was kind of a shameless attention grab from JEV... but he’s not entirely wrong. And I love F1 *and* FE so kinda have to reckon with all the demons of each sport (F1's environmental impact, FE’s desperate marketing gimmicks, and both sports’ shady dealings with…

Yeah, but is he? Promoting veganism while lending his image to promote Petronas, shaking hands with / legitimizing despots, and being the reason for the season that millions of fans drive across their respective counties (and sit in massive jams) to get to venues to see him race... That’s gotta add up to a whole lotta…

Take one:

I’m devastated that Audi has dropped the Benetton color scheme. Sigh. At least Techeetah is still gold and Envision Virgin is purplish (go Sam Bird!)

No level of NIMBYism will ever match the Parisians who lodged a noise complaint against the Formula E race. https://jalopnik.com/politician-is-mad-about-the-thundering-engines-of-the-f-1834416746

They got the Montreal ePrix shut down as well. https://www.theverge.com/2017/12/19/16792468/formula-e-montreal-race-canceled-mayor-plante

Speed Racer was completely inaccurate, and it really ruined the film for me. The esses weren’t added to Thunderhead until years after Rex died (don’t even get me started on the twist), so how could you have that ghost race?
