  1. It's pretty great - I wouldn't complain much if it didn't use to cost me 40$ a month. Fuck
  2. Followed closely by a 12$ price hike for the finger painting channel.
  3. Is this still the case? Wood's question had me looking at the regs and I couldn't find anywhere that expressly required the use of the covers until... 17.5.7 The use of a PDC is mandatory and the particular function of that PDC must not be by-passed, replaced or complemented by another component.
  4. As close as I could find. « 3.13.7 > Only one wheel cover per wheel should be rigidly attached to the rim so that it has the same rotational speed as the wheel to which it is attached and forms an aerodynamic seal to the rim. » « In order to provide visual information to spectators, the FIA may require that each of the four hubcaps described in article 3.13.7 be fitted with a rotating LED display panel.. » They look pretty terrible imo.
  5. Keep those boards to yourself bud, whatever you wanna do in private is alright by me. I said more than my share on the old Shag thread - It was a lot harder being a Lewis fan back then. The truth of it is I stopped smoking last month and I'm fucking bored so here we are again.
  6. He's pretty damn funny on Twitch too. Would love to see him get to the top.
  7. Man... I think the first person on here to start telling people to shut the fuck up was you. 99% of the posters on this thread were looking for an honest conclusion to a great season of racing and didn't find it - and as has been discussed most don't have a dog in the fight. Pushing the meme pics & tears narrative is fucking weak. Try harder.
  8. But that damned Lewis Hamilton was wearing calfskin boots! Didn't you see?!
  9. Unfortunately I don't see two-way comms (or public ones) going away any time soon. It's an entertainment goldmine and it's now an entertainment-first sport. It's the candor of an NFL Films player mic combined but turbocharged. I would absolutely agree that the RD should be free of any outside interference - even put an intermediary between himself and the teams. Anything to avoid the cringey back & forth (from both sides).
  10. Absolutely. We're Texas fans after all - no more tears left after these few years.
  11. I think you're being deliberately obtuse here. Two very normal procedures were done in ways that, to my knowledge, have never been done. This was a lot more than a gentle massaging of grey areas.
  12. LETS GOOO
  13. He didn't pit the VSC because they liked the track position. They were right - Max didn't gain close to the 16 seconds he needed to catch him. He didn't pit the SC because they aren't going to give the championship leader the fucking lead with 5 laps to go, and a track filled with machinery and debris.
  14. I think he's an arrogant, petulant prick who happens to drive for the biggest cunt in the sport. I was always going to be salty with a loss but hey, the lead they earned let him drive the way he drove and he's a really fucking fast driver who out-performs his car. If he was faster today then hats off. I wasn't prepared to have it manipulated the way it was. I'm really pissed because of that. Probably overly so but whatever.
  15. I mean if you're arguing he should have followed the rules of the sport I completely agree. If he felt the track was safe then let them overtake on lap 1 of the SC. Hell, maybe lap 2 or 3. That's his choice to make in the rulebook. Alonso et al. were arguing for this very thing to happen for integrity's sake. He officiated the race in a way that would have to end under a yellow flag. Rules don't permit him to allow only a few hand-picked cars to overtake, and then bring the SC in a lap early.
  16. I'll take a true freshman with a limp and walking cane over Christian Jones.
  17. It was good clean, aggressive racing - I enjoyed it. I'm sure it was the last thing he wanted to deal with.
  18. It's not what anyone wanted but they made their bed in Spa
  19. Didn't know you missed me! I'm flattered - be sure to follow
  20. FIA Court of Appeals - Apparently CAS is almost entirely for doping oversight.
  21. Did they have a window that I'm forgetting? Certainly wasn't after the VSC. It's not like they could go for it on 4th down to cement the game - I think the race management was pretty great. Be careful what you wish for - They're all whiny when they're fighting for the top. Maybe D Ric being the exception - hard not to like him.
  22. He's got nothing to stand on. Why not give Sainz the same chance? It's very reasonable to think he might take the win while they fight it out - was he not a leader? Competitive integrity is gone.
  23. Protest #2 not upheld. A race directory just made up the rulebook and decided the champion in probably the most partisan way imaginable. A year of racing rendered meaningless for one lap of artificial DTS drama. Truly a masterclass of incompetence by Michael Masi once again and it's the sport as a whole that suffers. What a fucking embarrassment. Off to CAS I guess - nothing will happen.
