this take is a solid fucking yikes. E:E is a shite series teetering dangerously over the edge into greenwashing. hell, F:E is a more viable series, and i think F:E is half-baked and way overhyped. E:E could dissappear and i wouldn’t bat a fucking eyelid. we can do SO much better than this. and we should be.

Per the headline: No, it doesn’t.

Yup. “Racist” and “White Nationalist” have become so watered down that the terms are essentially meaningless now. 

“White nationalist” has been watered down so much that it’s basically a meaningless term at this point, thanks to people like you who apply it to anyone they disagree with at every opportunity.

That’s always been the issue with events, it’s not driving around in circles that does it, it’s the air freight, sea freight, maintaining the courses and in the case of popular events - the sheer emmisions from travelling spectators.
 100,000 fans heading to a football match are a formidible use of energy.

I still think they’re going about it wrong. If you want to get people excited about EV racing, do what FE’s doing and sell tickets to an event people can easily get to. I’d rather see them do pack racing in a stadium than romp around a rally raid stage. 

That might be “some” of the reasons for some people, but the vast majority of people are not for that. It’s the mandates and the freedom of choosing their own personal health decisions without coercion for their right to work.

On-To-Ottawa Trekkers fought for equal rights based on their lived experiences while the Freedom Convoy is based on conspiracy theories swirling around lifesaving vaccines at worst, or just a contrarian “cause I don’t wanna” attitude at best.

Over here is where we drape white sheets over vaguely car-shaped objects

This is good fun, but the chance of anyone, let alone the boss of red bull, seeing anything with technical value on a factory tour is 0%.

Bradley has never written an article where the underlying intent wasn’t to be a a dick about something.  

The asterisk will slowly fade away over the years. Particularly since -no matter how strong Lewis finished the year- Verstappen was still the best driver over the full 2021 season.

(with an asterisk)

Yeah, get that the hell out of the post, Brad. Verstappen won fair and square. It’s race control that deserves the “assterisk”.

This.  If he wasn’t going to race this year, he wouldn’t have signed a 2-year contract.  Now if Merc’s car sucks horribly this season, he might call it after the season’s over, but he was never going to quit over 1 questionable call that didn’t go his way.

He was never going to quit, this was some bullshit drummed up by Merc to aid them in their arguments with the FIA.

I agree! You missed my point: Red Bull dealt with the same shit and won. They played the game better.

could have staed goon the whine ass

90% of the reason to get a Hilux is for the bulletproof Toyota drivetrain. That is gone here, and you’re left with some Frankentruck dually-looking thing with a SBC.
