Feel sorry for Vips. A few years ago I thought he might have the talent to make it to F1, but he's trying too hard now. Too many costly errors unfortunately.

Due to the length of the straight, wouldn't NASCAR make Baku a restrictor plate track? :lol:

I'd watch it

"Welcome to lap 74 of the Baku 350, we've just had our 74th crash in the castle section"

They'd still waste several laps after each stage.

that could make it worse the braking into the first corner, some optimistic drivers coming from behind would just simply push the cars ahead into the runoff (considering they keep that huge T1 runoff)

Interesting how they went from wanting to cut costs in 2021 with a consolidated calendar to now having a huge calendar with rounds all over the world :o

What a waste.
Small tip for celebrities: if you play video games, stay anonymous (no mic, no camera), or better still, play offline single player games.

Political correctness gone MAD

You can't even use a racist term to be racist any more, what is the world coming to? :roll:

Seriously though, it's bizarre how almost identical to the Larson incident it is, you'd think people in all of motorsport would've learnt from that and it'd definitely be in the media training these young drivers are given as part of their way up the ladder.... :slaphead:

I'm probably getting old, but what's the point of publicly streaming your gaming session to the world if you're somebody with way more lucrative things to do and a public reputation? Can't you just hook up with your buddies and play without Average Joe watching you? And that wasn't even sim racing, they were playing a fps..

He said the n-word while streaming himself playing a shooter game.

The clip above was from Lawson's stream, maybe Vips didn't know he was being broadcast?

Because it's an easy way to build your audience of 12-19 year olds. They're the streaming generation. It makes you more likeable if you're having fun with mates playing video games and it makes you relatable to young people, as long as you're not dropping n-bombs.

I'll admit I've seen Lando play FPS with other comedy streamers and it made him more likeable for me.

I was expecting some full on rant and melt down, not that. But I know I know, racism is racism and it is unacceptable.....So now any time a black person says whitey or cracker are they going to be cancelled as well? Can't have double standards, can we......can we?

The connotations between the example you gave, and the way the "n" word is used, are completely different. I mean, you don't see a video gamer shouting "cracker" or "whitey" when he gets frustrated?

They aren't double standards, they are different standards.

And there isn't a centuries-long history of abuse, slavery and murder associated with the word "whitey".
