[Vergne] has been part of the Red Bull Racing Junior Program, which is notorious for being a frankly brutal ladder to the pinnacle of motorsport and for picking favorites.

Even F1 related, he could never get rid of the stench that was attached to his actions during the 2005 US Grand Prix weekend.

Or, you know, we could just make the top 10 a one lap shootout. Problem solved, AND as an added bonus it’s a better format.

Same. Had heard a lot about Train to Busan in recent years but never got around to actually watching it.

And what if someone causes a yellow flag, which is much more common? Make another seperate rule for that? Not that it matters anyway, since nobody will have tyres left for another fast run. Doing nothing and just moving on from this non-issue is also an option.

Giovinazzi isn’t close to that level. Nice guy, but Kimi is making him look good. I’m not sure he’ll get another season. He already got lucky that Shwartzman has strangely regressed in F2 after a strong start at that level.

Yeah, but that’s also Monaco. It always feels a bit chaotic after the race since there so little room for so many people. I actually quite liked it, seeing Verstappen celebrate with his girl and his team. It’s not often we get to see the ‘human’ side of these guys.

I honestly don’t care that people criticize his talent (or lack thereof), his heritage, or (particularly) his personality. All valid complaints, no issues there. And anyone asking “can you drive as well as he does” should be dismissed right away, because it’s a dumb argument to make in a discussion about any public…

Well, that’s not an excuse, is it? Didn’t Elizabeth just do a post on journalism ethics?

I don’t think racing has been sexist at all, at any point honestly. Now, whether it’s nature or nurture (let’s get get into that argument), fact of the matter is that women have generally been encouraged from birth to be into ‘girly’ stuff. Anything car-related was generally not considered to be part of that. In the…

Didn’t drive a Grand Prix, so I don’t believe he qualifies. But if he did, he’d be up there, certainly the worst since the turn of the century.

Also, a safe that locks ‘forever’ after a second failed attempt to open it seems like a bad idea.

Same, though I expected the worst due to the director involved.

Spoiler alert: it doesn’t get better.

There’s 7 and only 7 that have a case for the GOAT title. Schumacher, Fangio, Clark, Hamilton, Stewart, Senna and Prost. In that order, though ask me again tomorrow and I might totally shuffle the top three.

To be fair, Coulthard was a really good wet-weather driver too. But I generally agree with what you’re saying here.

For me, it’s Schumacher, Fangio or Clark. Hamilton’s probably #4 if we make it a Mount Rushmore thing.

Verstappen and Sainz both have their birthday in September, and that Interlagos race happened in October.

Well, it seems like Mercedes has the edge at Tilke dromes, where there’s a lot of flowing medium to high speed corners, whereas Red Bull looks stronger at stop-start tracks. Baku could be a strong one for Red Bull, and while they were unlucky that Canada got canceled, they got lucky that Turkey also didn’t make it and…

Oh, you’ll be happy to know that for a few years, they actually let these stars interview the drivers on the podium.
