Where is everyone who spent the entire race talking trash about Kim Kardashian? 😬

It is quite possible that the inferior engine they are installing—one might wonder if Ford is to blame here—also comes equipped with a less effective launch control system.😁

We will take action, thank you.

Why did nobody bother responding to the PM when Frank went through the trouble of pulling the entire cascade of posts together just to point out the blatant trolling? Trolling is essentially the deconstruction of any meaningful debate; it’s nothing more than an attempt to incite conflict. And as Frank demonstrated quite clearly, that is exactly what was happening here.
As for the examples you've laid out, there's a certain inconsistency at play. On one hand, you seem to want to equate the protesters on the Potomac with the veteran community—even though we are actually dealing with a small, albeit vocal, group (which, if we follow your own logic regarding how you categorize those who disagree with you, could be explained quite precisely). Yet, in your very next sentence, you feel entitled to dismiss their arguments as "sick," regardless of whether they are well-founded or not. That simply isn't how discourse works.

Mercedes clearly struggled with tire degradation, and let's be honest, Hamilton isn't exactly known as a master of tire management—unlike someone like Button. Isn't there a much simpler explanation here? Perhaps Lewis simply had to drive well below the car's actual pace just to keep those tires from falling apart prematurely?

Perhaps you might consider opening this discussion in a more civil and debate-oriented manner; if you do, it might actually go somewhere. With an introduction like this, one can hardly expect much of anything from the thread.

Wrong thread, folks....

Kimi did a fantastic job, truly fantastic. The entire race was overshadowed by Sebastian Vettel’s massive victory over the dominant Mecam, so his performance kind of flew under the radar, but the man started in 11th, got caught up in some contact right at the start, and had to pit for fresh rubber (not to mention he spent a good portion of a lap limping along on three wheels, losing precious time), yet he fought his way back to finish fourth. I was genuinely impressed with what he delivered. 🙏

gentlemoose57, stop talking nonsense before I lose my patience and shut you down. We all watched the race, and what you’re doing right now is nothing more than blatant trolling. If you really want to keep going, feel free to pivot to discussing something utterly trivial instead.
TBF, you shouldn't take the bait every single time. 😉

I'm really just poking fun at the people watching the race live who seem totally oblivious to what's actually happening—specifically the reality that Vettel is going to have to drop down to those two-second slower tires within just a few laps. 🙄

Last year, Ferrari had the best driver in the world, yet they were stuck fighting for 5th or 6th place. This year, with a driver many consider a fraud, they are actually threatening Mercedes-Benz for the lead. In my view, they are the winners regardless of how this concludes. 🙏

Patrick Bailey4 said:Why is everyone getting so worked up? 🤣

Hamilton does this all the time; it's just part of his routine. ☕

edit: actually, word on the street is that Mercedes expects Rosberg to be considered overrated too.

He does, perhaps. But routinely? 🤣🤣
Regardless of who takes the win, I just want every victory to be this "routine," if only to ensure F1 doesn't lose its audience. 🙏

What an incredible revival for Ferrari! 🙏 🙏 .s
Serious respect to the team for this massive leap forward in both engineering and driving talent! 🙏

It’s honestly pathetic how some people still choose to boo Sebastian Vettel on the podium. 🤣

wanderingharbor492 said:First of all, they actually need to win, which, if I’m being honest, doesn't look likely at all...

As it clearly shows, that much-criticized four-time champion really has nothing left to prove. He is a superstar. 🙏🙏🙏

Amanda Kelly said:Vettel's in the lead. 🙏
He’s got a nice, solid gap.
It's basically drowning out everything else happening on track right now.

It’s slowly becoming obvious that moving over to Ferrari was a brilliant move for both him and the team. 🙏 🙏
No one can complain about him winning in a dominant car anymore, and Ferrari has clearly flourished; if this trend continues, it’s a win for everyone involved. 🙏

According to you, the race is actually starting in 21 minutes?
If that's the case, then Formula1.com has completely botched the timing... because if it's currently 8:39, their schedule suggests we still have 1 hour and 21 minutes left until kickoff.

wanderingharbor492 said:It looks like they're probably running on British time...

Heh, they've corrected it now...



Someone made a pretty significant blunder at the top level. 🤣

Yes, because you asked for it. 🤣

wanderingharbor492 said:It looks like they're probably running on British time...

Perhaps, but why would they have the exact same time as us over there? They've messed up; someone is going to lose their job. (Or is it still too early to tell... 😲)

When does the race actually kick off? 🤣
I completely miscalculated in my head, so I sat myself up in front of the computer yesterday just a few minutes before 6:00, only to realize the thread here says it's at 8:00, wanderingharbor492 just posted that it starts in 45 minutes, yet Formula1.com is claiming it's in 10. 🤣
It looks like Formula1.com might have screwed us. 😬

Perhaps after the race concludes, they could host a poll to determine who truly walked away as the biggest loser of the weekend. 😳
