Don't know if it's funny or concerning that Yuki is so completely aloof with the sport/the history. He also didn't know Monaco practice was run on Thursdays.


Yeah I saw that as well. He didn't seem to give a shit. Kinda weird.

Would not be surprised at all if he is in Super GT next year. :whistling:

To be fair to him though, Ive been working in bike shops since I was 15 (over 20 years ago) and couldn't name one team or rider in the Tour de France this year. I love being a mechanic and could probably build an e-bike from the bare frame, while hanging upside down and blindfolded, but I just give zero shits about the sporting side of it all. With that said, him not knowing he needed to be at work on a Thursday instead of a Friday is pushing it a bit lol

The F1 race in Florida is completely and totally racist toward all black people. Yuuuup. I hate the shit that is considered a "news" article in this country now. Claims are made but without citing facts or details. But hey, mention race and you clearly can't disagree with it unless you are an oppressive racist.

To be fair having a race in a residential area was always going to cause issues, but pulling the race card is new one

"noise levels generated by actual Formula One race cars in past years" -it would be interesting to know whether this independent study was including pre-hybrid cars.

as for the environmental concerns, an NFL game probably produces more emissions that the f1 race will, and most of those emissions will be from the fan's vehicles and not the racecars.

this article was written by the councilwoman who voted against the approval. the rest of the council felt these issues would be mitigated enough to vote their approval. that said, formula 1 is definitely elitist, predominantly white, and it's debatable whether any revenue will benefit the local community in any direct way. her being someone who has very little knowledge about motorsport, i can empathize with her scepticism. hopefully, she will change her mind and her concerns will be mitigated once the event actually takes place

Singapore's been called off. A double header in the US is a possibility.

That shit in Miami is ridiculous on so many levels.

Disruptive traffic and unhealthy conditions... OK, so, the 8 NFL games every fall that pack the stadium have absolutely no impact whatsoever then right? Idiots.

Meh. No problem with two US races, but they could have chosen a more interesting track.

The only other track in the USA with Grade 1 is IMS and that would become the smallest track on the calendar except for Monaco.

Doesn't COTA seem to throw up a good race 50% of the time? If so, then the odds would at least be better.

Mazepin might have to take a break from his career. His father just told he has 1 year of mandatory military service pending and the Russian government isn't willing to clear him from his duties. If this stands, he has to do his duties until he is 27. He is 23 now.

well he basically doesn't need to put a foot in Russia, so is better to give up Russian GP and race the other races

I guess is a fair trade

or his dad might use his connections to free him from the military of the motherland

Nobody says no to Mother Russia, who will then use it as a massive propaganda piece. There will be staged photos of badass Mazepin doing badass things, while the reality is he will probably be sitting behind a desk somewhere playing Minesweep and Solitaire.
