It’s funny that you say that I’m comparing apples to oranges when both examples involve the names of mass murderers and yours compares sports team names to a name used universally, but you do you.

Having grown up around race tracks, I can assure everyone that “paddock” is also a dirt-common term in American motorsports too.

Go to Charleston and find out if the locals stopped using the term ‘roof’ for the top of their homes. Are there any new businesses who have used this wildly insensitive term? This should also be a 2000 word article.

Honestly I had forgotten his name entirely which is how I prefer it.

Any reasonable adult who first hears of this story as “they named it paddock after the mass shooter!” would take 4 seconds on Google and learn the truth. Because the idea that a global racing series would name their garage area after a mass shooter is idiotic.

Well it’s mostly built for tourists anyway, so why should they care? And people dumb enough to think that a literal paddock is named that way after a mass shooter, whom very few others remembered the name of, kind of deserve to be ignored.

Wait until they learn about horse racing...I’m sorry but dumb people gonna dumb-this information is readily available on the internet. Who in their right mind would actually think F1 would name something after a mass shooter-and even if you think this was intended as some kind of poorly planned memorial it still…

This isn’t a cultural diversity issue. The meaning of the word is the meaning of the word, and it applies to more than just Formula One. In this very specific case a mass shooter happens to have a last name that is a noun. Acknowledge that and move on. The bigger issue IMO is that some people don’t recognize what the…

“...the locals think F1 has named that permanent building after mass shooter Stephen Paddock”

Good thing they didn’t give him a long term contract then.

There’s actually an ongoing argument that Ascari’s streak should count as 9 since the only race he didn’t win was Indy which shouldn’t count since no other F1 driver was going to Indy at that time.

The complex of turns leading to the banked left is narrow, quick, and largely blind turn after blind turn. The yellow indicator was in a part of the track where it was easily missed, and Piastri crashed in an odd part of the circuit litereally 2 seconds before Riccardo was heading in full steam. I think its what…

The next single player steam game on the top selling list is Jedi Survivor at #5 which has 1492 ppl playing right now, nowhere near the 6800 number the article claims is so low...  

It’s a single player RPG, and like the headline says it’s been 6 months after release with several high profile games that have launched in the interim and soaked up the limelight.

Do Jalopnik writers ever have anything bad to say when they’re invited on a paid review trip?

No I’m not, he is definitely not bad. He had a bad first half of the season, which is something that can happen to good drivers. The point remains that having bad first half of the season in an RB means you’re still leading the rest of the field, you’re just closer to them than you are to your teammate (which makes…

I don’t think you’d find anyone that would say Perez is as good as Norris. Perez might be as good (or slightly better) if the stars align and it’s the right track for Perez, but consistently, no way.

As an Alonso fan, and before that Mika, I’m familiar with the boredom that comes from dominance. While this RB is very dominant, as a team they’ve still got a ways to go to match what we witnessed from Merc in the V6 era. I guess what I’m saying is this isn’t new, it’s simply new fans complaining about an old problem.

Renault/Alpine is somehow making a name for itself for making bad decisions in the sport. From stringing along both Alonso and Piastri and then losing them both, to the engine issues. And it’s starting to bleed onto other efforts, Alpine is looking to race in Le Mans with an LMDh powered by a modified Mecachrome F2…

Just a clarification, Red Bull Powertrains has zero involvement with their current engines.
