As a resident OG Lance Stroll fan (I'm talking since 2016 here lol). I have many thoughts about the race and The Penalty.

First, I do think it's valid (if a bit harsh). Although Lance clearly didn't have anywhere to go and couldn't have reacted in time to stop the car, he still crashed into another car, something that could have resulted in injury and did result in damage and a DNF.

I look at it as if someone was pushed wide and overtook off the track. Even if the only way for them to get back on the track was to overtake, it's still looked at as an off-track overtake and is not allowed. The driver would either have to give the position back or get a penalty. Just because the driver overtaking was forced to make an illegal move doesn't mean they're exempt from the consequences.

Besides that, going into that corner, all those cars should have had more space between them. It was just luck that Lance was the one to get caught out and hit Riccardo. Thus, he's the one the FIA had to make an example of.

Sorry for my ramble, I have many thoughts 😅

Like four cars are folding up like a goddamn accordion meanwhile two corners back Yuki is being spun around like a fidget spinner all UNDER SAFETY CAR CONDITIONS

Nothing will convince me that Lance deserved a penalty when Ricciardo himself nearly crashed out the driver infront of him as well.

If anything the drivers should have been investigated for how close they were before the Safety Car was officially ending.

“Lance is rude. Lance is a dick.”

Okay well you try being constantly asked by media in a crowded, echoing space if you’re having problems with your confidence after you’ve shown improvement that has been ignored. You try being kind to people only to have the kindness thrown back in your face and vitriol said behind your back. You try facing back handed commentary and snide remarks about your future. Day in and day out, you try having article after article slandering your name being put out simply because people hate that you have money in a sport where that is the norm.

I’d be fed the fuck up too. Lance shouldn’t have to play nice for these people to treat him with the bare minimum respect. He deserves his seat, and I’m sick of it always being questioned if he does.

Loving the touch of hysteria in Lance's team radios. Live laugh love

Only thing to take out of that race… at least he’s not at Alpine. ❤️‍🩹

Silly Lance is back after 10 years !!!

Carlos nodding his head and then saying “NO”, is my favorite thing EVER!

damn ok lake superior

the Federation itself as a concept is so funny because the founding members are

the Vulcans, who have been friends with humanity for years but don't seem to actually like them all that much, instead regarding them with a sort of perverse fascination usually reserved for virology labs

the Andorians, who were fighting the Vulcans for like a hundred years

the Tellarites, who don't like any of these people and whose cultural trait is arguing, and

humans, whom nobody knew existed until last century when they shot themselves into space on a heavily modified nuke, invented world peace and won a fight with the nearest imperial superpower

like imagine you're the Romulan Empire and these weird monkeys who've barely figured out interstellar travel show up on your doorstep in the equivalent of a shipping container with missiles strapped to it, kick your ass in front of everybody, and then start a friendship club with 3 of your neighbours who all hated each others' guts until like a year ago. now I understand why every Romulan on the show is so angry

"they're using my trick against me... i'm going to go and get him" carlos sainz how does it feel to be the funniest motherfucker in an already hilarious race

"Lando 0,8 behind with DRS"

"Yeah, it's on purpose"

That's a thing Alonso would do, and it's so fucking clever. Carlos you really are a Fernando fanboy!

La'an being like "I feel music bubbling up inside me, I will immediately go into my room and not come out until it has been expelled." and then immediately going to Pike to tell him the concerning news, then when Pike's having his spat with Batel being the one who has to get up to turn off the signal. My sweet, emotionally repressed girl is like "RED ALERT. EMOTIONS ARE HAPPENING. Shut it all down!!!"

My brother's girlfriend had HPV, so he went to get himself the HPV vaccine. There is a fee to pay (nothing much, something like €87) but it's completely free if you're in one of the "at risk" groups.

"What does that mean," he asks. "It's free if you're gay," he's told. "Ah. Would I have to like, prove it, or...?" "Just put in a check mark here."

My brother is in no way, shape or form attracted to men, but also he's stingy as it gets. So now he's officially gay. Congrats bro.
