China Trip - Shanghai (April 19, 2009)
in Formula 1 ·
Felipe Massa has turned into a total crybaby.
A driver with that little ceiling just doesn't belong at Ferrari.

In what way?🤷😕, by chugging beers?🤷😂😂🤣

Sure, their Sheikh might be sitting on billions, but even a regular guy there gets a pension equal to his last paycheck after just 19 years on the job. Plus, a decent house! Meanwhile, the Russian has a bottle of vodka, maybe $200 in wages, a $50 pension, and a million-man army. Honestly, you gotta wonder who's actually winning at life here.

Russia doesn't have friends (except for those irrelevant Mexicans). 😍
Russia is staring down a demographic collapse and a legitimate military threat from the West (who clearly have their eyes on Siberia and its massive wealth).
Russia can't be a friend to the West, and vice versa, because their interests just don't line up. The West is practically broke (are they not?), so there's zero chance they can compete fairly with Asians. Plain and simple: the Asians are running circles around them. Their only lifeline is looting Siberia and Russia itself, but the Russians aren't about to let that happen.
On the flip side... Muslims aren't facing any real danger from Russia. Sure, the Chechens fought the Russians, fueled by Saudi Arabia, but we all know whose interests that crowd in Riyadh is actually serving. Besides, Chechens make up maybe 1% of the global Muslim population, so their struggle isn't a universal one.
What I'm getting at is that Russia has already burned its bridges with Muslims; they aren't a real threat anymore. Quite the opposite, actually.
Most Muslims don't like Russians, just like most Russians don't like Muslims.
But hey, interests align when they need to, and the cooperation keeps rolling.

Nah, whatever, everyone’s free to cheer for whoever they want, but honestly? It sounds totally ridiculous when Ferrari fans hype up Massa this much while simultaneously dragging Kimi through the mud... if you actually watch the races, there's a massive gap in skill when it comes to the Finnish guy.☕
