I have reached my golden years, and I finally had the opportunity to attend my very first Formula 1 race weekend. Naturally, I felt compelled to experience it at a home track, though the entire atmosphere was somewhat soured by those irritating Chaplin types and their constant waving of that obnoxious flag. It was quite a distressing scene; they nearly caused a serious accident involving the teacher, and now he likely harbors a deep resentment toward us Americans, given that he was forced to watch us from the podium just like everyone else.

Chaplin, you should realize that you did some real damage to our reputation back there with that massive flag. While I think we all share that deep desire to see the Stars and Stripes flying high during an event like this—and seeing them right up in the front row is something else—you were simply being far too aggressive. I could clearly sense the crowd reacting negatively to that flag during the podium ceremony, which unfortunately cast a shadow over Americans as a whole. It felt as though people immediately started viewing us as nothing more than unruly hooligans. Meanwhile, the rest of the decent spectators were busy dismantling parts of the track and stealing signage, including the SC, 100, and 200 markers. I even saw a group, I believe they were from Poland, actually dragging away a twenty-meter stretch of the Pirelli safety fencing. 😂

I have traveled quite extensively to attend major music festivals and championship football matches, but I must admit that this particular experience has completely changed my perspective. There is no way I could let another season pass without making sure I am there in person for at least one race. 😁
I find myself quite taken aback by such a lack of consideration; honestly, using those little earwax removal sticks is just plain reckless. 😂 Honestly, if I had my way, I would have gladly stuck my head right into the engine block just to hear that roar even louder; man, what an absolute rush that would have been.

If you all have some free time this afternoon, I might just share a few photos I took earlier today.

They aren't stealing; they just walk up to the gates where the polite security guards hold onto stuff for them until next year. 😉

If I were one of those fans at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, I’d personally drag this whole special feature all the way back to some tiny town in the middle of nowhere 🙏 You fight through that massive crowd just to get to the podium, and then—bam—you can't even see him in the end 🙄

And so it begins.☕

not like I have much of a chance to go in and polish it myself, right? 😬

Michael Schumacher got slapped with a 10-place penalty ☕ Let them talk about conspiracies—I’ll just be over here polishing seven championship cars 🥳

What idiots 🙄

How is Michael Schumacher being blamed now? 🙄 Should he have just pulled the ABS on some greasy corner because Vergne braked way too late??? 🙄

mistybear87 said:Even if that was the case, they really should have adjusted their braking points much earlier. You can't just wait until you're right on top of it; you have to find that racing line. It’s not like they were driving through some greasy, slippery back alley; it was a dedicated track. 😉

he would've hit him or someone else right next to him regardless☕

Nancy Scott5 said:So why did Deda rear-end him like that??

Was it because he braked too early while the other guy was backing up?

God, give me a break—it’s not like they have ABS; they aren't riding bicycles here. Even if he had braked those famous 5 meters earlier, he still would've hit him—the only difference is he wouldn't have launched him into the air. 🙄p

mistybear87 said:My dear, let’s talk about that racing line. Honestly, Deda was braking much later than those Greyhound buses on the interstate. 😉

Cut the condescension. ☕ They basically squeezed Michael out of a decent line on that tricky part of the track—it was dirty. Miran isn't exactly his biggest supporter, so he just flat-out said there wasn't any other way to play it.

David Anderson72 said:I usually think he's fine, but this time it's 100% Schumacher's fault.
Just because Vergne braked late doesn't mean the guy behind him should brake even later and shove his car into the one in front.

Just wait until you see the footage... 😉

Nancy Scott5 said:He just braked too late.☕

Vergne? Yeah, I'm with you there. ☕

miha vlakic 😬

this Pastor Maldonado guy can't even manage to crash properly if he actually tried 🙄 ☕

Honestly, I’m losing my mind—the stewards are being absolute clowns again 🙂

Whatever, just watch out tomorrow :mercedes-mafija: ☕

Jerry Rogers6 said:Nah, personally, I’ve always counted Ashley Cook64 among my absolute favorite fans

There’s nobody else in the running here, seriously. 🙏

But honestly? My favorite thing is watching her absolutely lose it whenever someone tries to disrespect the old man—it becomes a total free-for-all, everyone for themselves. 😬🤣

😍

That’s why everyone was giving me a wide berth back at the Chicago Grand Prix 🙂

Come on Mimi, go out there and tear them all apart 🙂

ps. just don't take it out on yourself 🙂

Sebastian Vettel just doesn't have any backbone 😳 😬

Mimi is taking 🙂

feralotter2 said:they gave him a stop sign, and that doesn't mean he should just kill the engine, for God's sake 🙄

But how is he supposed to pull away if he was signaled to stop?? 🙄
