That’s not correct. If you read the rules, you’ll see the steward has the power to override the marshall, but not to override the rules.

Lewis was all class today, but I’d have liked him to make the following statement:

I didn’t find the last lap dramatic. From the moment it was determined that they would move the lapped cars out of Max’s way, his victory was set in stone.

“Meh. If rules and procedures were exciting, I’d read court transcripts instead. But, whatever gets people aroused is fine by me, I’m not one to kink-shame.”

By “compromise” do you mean just conjure up a solution that contradicts the established rules?  Because that’s exactly what Masi opted to do.

Without a stoppage, Verstappen had virtually no prayer of catching Hamilton. He might have made up some ground (though he was struggling to do that), but those tires are rated for 50 laps so a puncture was highly unlikely, and at the rate they were degrading, it’s hard to argue they were going to just fall off a cliff…

Who could have seen this coming, besides anybody.

1) You’ve completely missed the point and done it in a pretty obnoxious way.

That’s true.  I’m not sure what your point is, but it’s true.

Sure, but it matters where you work.

How old were your kids when you told them?

I’m a guy who likes cars and when I read that line about Lincolns, I thought, “Jesus, what an ignorant asshole.”

I know this is an extremely unpopular opinion, but I love Get Him to the Greek. I find it genuinely hilarious and moving.

The change wasn’t as tough as I expected. I’ve only owned manuals, but when I spent a year in my 20's screwing around in Australia, I bought a Holden Commodore with a stick for $500.

It feels a little disingenuous to point at all the times Verstappen got the short end of the stick without also including in the analysis what happened at Monza.

Verstappen must feel like a dead man walking.

I stand corrected about whether Dirty was a song or an album. Thanks.

The AV Club doesn’t write these articles for their own entertainment. They write them because they are a business whose product is gossip.

It wasn’t the media that made Christina Aguilera the “trashy bad girl.” While Aguilera is probably not that person, it’s exactly the way she and her team chose to market herself. Hell, she even named her album “Dirty.”

That’s reasonable.  What if their advice comes from a place of love and science?  Would you still ask them to “curb” it?
