Very cool. Good luck on the way to the finish!

Social media has failed us.

How wonderful, thanks for sharing!

the userbase comes off as a walled garden

I’m smoking weed about it.

I agree it’s super weird with the most recent race on top

This is beautiful!

Interesting. The songs I post here are all from Spotify but it’s a mix of longtime favorite songs, random Spotify suggestions, and most commonly, things that come up when I start the “radio” option for particular songs. There isn’t really any method to the madness. Odd coincidence!

Let’s go with the safe assumption that Spotify randomization sucks major anoose.

The whole sport is a human rights nightmare, yes. F1 is not beneficial to the world or its inhabitants, I’m well aware.

I’m not about to use a meme community for grandstanding about it, but you do you.

I don’t think being a reserve driver is unreasonable and they tend to hang around the paddock anyways.

I think Nico Hulkenberg is a perfect example of why it can pay to keep in contact with F1 teams when everyone else says your career is over. That isn’t a skill comparison, just an example of someone playing bench warmer after their career in F1 was “over” who still made a comeback.

F1 has certainly seen more ridiculous things.

Too late because of team errors, too soon because of team errors. McLaren has to get on top of the operational and strategical errors for either driver to have a shot at a WDC. The field is too close throughout the course of a season to squander away so many opportunities.

I’ve been a McLaren fan for a long, long time.

I understand what you’re saying and I respect that point of view.

Having said that.

You shut your mouth and let them have this. If it’s McLaren dominance into the new engine regs you all just need to hitch to the nearest Lando or Oscar bandwagon and hold the fuck on.

It’s been interesting to see the “shine” come off as his incredible run of success in F1 falters a little bit. I think Toto is a decent person and also a very emotional person. For a while all he really let us see was happiness or anger. After a few years of struggling to get back to the front Toto seems to be much more willing to show his feelings in real time instead of through carefully worded statements to the press.

It’s been a good thing imo. It’s cool to see team principles, owners, etc being a part of the team as fans and real people, not LinkedIn versions of people. Not that my opinion matters but it makes F1 more fun to watch when you see the people at the top just as hooked in as we are. Clumsy Zak Brown high fives make me laugh just as much as a Toto stink eye.

Mmmmm yerbandherb…

The same way they are covered now.

He isn’t wrong but at the same time that’s doing a disservice to not only Mick but also someone like Alex who has made his comeback run with Williams after being tossed around at Red Bull…

For all the calls to put Mick in the seat I’d ask why Toto, an often vocal supporter of getting Mick back on the grid, hasn’t filled the Mercedes vacancy with him? I think the truth many fans don’t want to accept is that the team principles just don’t rate him as highly as the fans do, even with his success in other series.

In a way it’s sad but it’s the nature of F1.

Idk if this is some misguided insult or a legit question.

There is zero need for monetization and corporate bullshit to infiltrate Lemmy. People see an opportunity to get in on the ground floor of a newer social media and are quick to stink it up with the same old shit. Fuck that, I’m sick of it.

Lemmy does not have to be a carbon copy of the worst parts of the internet to survive. It is not a requirement to be a reddit clone or a cash generator or be profitable to be usable.

I saw, I was just venting frustration at that specific viewpoint.

It’s annoying that the same tired tactics are being applied to every corner of the internet.
