I don’t know what tickets for FP1 costed but I’d be pissed if I stayed up that late, spent however much money and got to see a few minutes of action only to be literally kicked out with police escort.

The videos of sphere face watching cars zoom by make me chuckle.

I knew Vegas was gonna deliver some good comedy at least. We’re already off to a great start.

Downforce on a race car is, in part, another word for suction. If the covers aren’t fully welded to something that’s not going to move, then the covers are going to move. Happened in an Indy race in Baltimore about 10 years ago. It’s part of the cost of a street race - every single cover along the entire course needs…

If I were Ferrari, I’d be suing the shit out of the race organizers for their shoddy track ruining a very expensive PU.

This is the ultimate injury. Break your car due to the track, and get penalized for it. 

They weld the manhole, water, sewer covers to the ring. Ring will pull up out of the asphalt. 

3 Supervisors including a Suit. One Union worker

The grid penalty is the ultimate insult after a defective track ruins your car and costs beaucoup Euros to fix.

That sucks doubly so because it was through no fault of his own.  Also kind of curious how it happened, was the cover not seated down all the way and the bottom of the car clipped it?

Someone should probably tell the rich that workers banding together to present formal address of grievances is the alternative we worked out a long time ago to breaking down the factory owner’s front door and beating him to death in front of his family. I feel like they forgot.

I always thought men were so insanely competent and cool headed and women were the ones who’d snap and cause wars or whatever

he is a very strong and fearless man

People like this are in positions of power.

It’s performative bullshit so the knuckle-draggers who vote for him will think he’s a badass or something. 

In some other far away time, this would kiss off every single blue-collar Joe from ever voting ‘R’ again.

Sen. Bernie Sanders the *unlikely voice of reason* ??!  He’s been the nearest thing to a reasonable voice I’ve heard from the US senate in literally decades.

What kind of hillbilly, cousin loving name is Markwayne?

His whole little speech that included the statement about changed demeanor felt like a poorly written, cringe worth high school principal trying to demonstrate their power in a shitty movie.

This fragile performative “masculinity” in going to get a lot of people killed. Gets a lot of people, already
