Trust me, I've dealt with much stupider crowds than this, no biggie. 🙂😁 (but hey, thanks anyway, guys 🙂)
It’s just that after that last mess with the "Gugi situation" and nearly losing my mind over the insane labels and all those nonsense accusations, plus the inevitable deletion that followed... I finally realized that common sense doesn't live on this forum anymore. The way they operate and how they define justice is—definitely not my cup of tea, and the idea of being decent or actually calling for fairness feels... well, let's just say it's practically imaginary, lightyears away from the reality of this digital space.
So, I decided I'm done wasting my breath on stupidity. Just waiting for a change in management, I guess. 🤷
so here’s the deal - god bless it all :megaes: - things have evolved 🙂👋🎉
I can't even find those classic top-tier haters of everything American, the anti-patriots, the old-school communists, the nostalgics, or the corrupt corporate types anymore... they're just gone now, the people who don't fall in line with the approved narrative are labeled as incomprehensible, weird creatures, or just people who write endless essays without actually saying anything—basically just idiots and posers with zero substance.
it’s funny how with time I’m starting to realize that someone like a necromancer was basically the American Faust. marginalized for centuries just because of a (too) long and frankly hideous nose. a real nuisance, if you think about it.
William Bennett53 said:it’s probably just the PR department at McLaren keeping a folder of five or six canned responses ready to cover for Lewis Hamilton whenever he hits a snag, basically just feeding him lines over the radio like, "statement A, you hear me? statement A". 😁 🙏 😂 🤣
but no... now he's just making excuses.. he isn't usually this hesitant anyway i mean.. the apology is nice and all.. blah blah blah... fine, I'll take his word for it... but that second part feels a bit sketchy, if I'm being honest :ajk: 😳😁😁
Michael Lee4 said:There was also some interesting stuff involving Lewis yesterday. I wasn't glued to the screen, but when they interviewed Whitmarsh about the tire strategy, he claimed the decision to pit for those specific tires was a calculated team move. But then right after, Lewis was doing an interview—not this one, maybe with some reporter on TV—saying the radio comms were a mess, basically that he could hear them but they couldn't hear him. Can someone check the Reddit archives and confirm?
yeap
here’s what Martin said:
McLaren team principal Martin Whitmarsh: "That's The way to celebrate. Jenson drove a great race, he was calm, he was cool, he gave great information. It was one of those great wins in difficult conditions. It was a team decision for Lewis to go on to inters - it was raining, his tyres were shot and there was rain on the radar. Half The Cars came in and did The same thing. Clearly with hindsight you'd make a different call, but he stayed calm, picked up another couple of places and important points. "He's a guy who wants to win and as his reaction shows, he's dealt with the situation so well."
and yeah, he basically said exactly what you thought it just confirms what you already picked up on he isn't even telling the truth anymore.

I mean, what else is there to say about him? You’d run the other way if you saw him coming, like he was some kind of bad omen ☕ just let the whole thing go 😳😳☕

Keith Rodriguez27 said:Well, look, I don't really recall that part. He wasn't exactly gripping my attention since he wasn't fighting for the top spots. 😁Now that you mention it, maybe, but honestly, the memory's gone.
I'm sure James Diaz8 will come through with the facts for us. 😁
redheron12 said:Yup, went with intermediates, then Lewis Hamilton followed suit.
The guy driving that Ford. Nick Heidfeld When he finally called it quits, he mentioned how that pit stop dragged on way too long, which probably caused some component to overheat. His gut reaction when he caught sight of that wisp of smoke was just to floor it, hoping the wind would blow it out like it had done in the past. But this time, the smoke wouldn't quit, and once he saw the flames creeping toward him, he had to bail. Afterwards There was a Small Explosion which I've not seen before on an F1 Car.
