that bow artwork reminds of those old communist era giant propaganda wall murals.

“it’s a marvel Max has not turned out to be an even bigger asshole than he is.”

I really like Max until the last race. How many times has Checo supported him and helped him with his championship?

All I can say is between Jos Verstappen (https://www.auto123.com/en/news/former-f1-driver-jos-verstappen-faces-jail-over-wife-assault/4598/) and Sophie Kumpen’s (Jos’s victim) behavior towards Pérez, it’s a marvel Max has not turned out to be an even bigger asshole than he is.

That whole family and team that supports them is complete garbage.  

Betting on Latifi to fuck something up is like betting on Red and Black at the same time. 100%.

“Anyway. Is anyone else sad the Formula 1 season is coming to an end this weekend?”

The Si would probably be a much better fit for you, then. It’s over $10k cheaper, but you still get rev-matching, an LSD, supportive seats, a great manual, and ~200hp. Plus you won’t have to deal with excessive tire wear and all the negative attention that a Type R would bring. 

FWIW, Checo let Max through earlier on to attack Alonso. He could have held him back but was promised the position back if Max couldn’t make it stick (he couldn’t). Checo is a good teammate and significantly better than Max deserves.

It seemed like Max was maturing after winning the Championship but this seems like reverted back to his old Crashstappen ways this weekend.

Is anybody really surprised to see max is actually racing for team max and not team Red Bull? I’m certainly not. 

Okay taking bets now - what Italian brand was the offending vehicle?

Smells like a cash grab by the feds.

Yeah. I’d be lounging around my lair inside an extinct volcano.

That’s what I was wondering. Who reported the theft?

Seriously! This amount of money could have done a pretty good job of erasing his existence and going to live in a non-extradition country with a private security force and new identity. 

The part where he had $661K in cash also made me raise an eyebrow as to why he was still in the US and not some remote island, biding his time until he has a good enough means of laundering bitcoin sales. Makes me think he believed he got away with it and was too shook now knowing the current market value to do…

Stealing from criminals is a crime? I mean technically but...

Why in the hell was this guy still anywhere anybody could find/reach him?

Isn’t the statute of limitations 10 years on wire fraud? Whole thing should be thrown out. Just let him keep it.
