Can't we just call it a week and not resume for safety concerns pretty please? Just want a safe race and all drivers unscathed.

I wish we could honestly, but as it was previously pointed out:

Never seen a sport so disconnected with what its fans and even its own athletes want …

Not everyone is pleased. Enemies are made.

And in Formula 1, where Cash is King, pushing against the status quo can come with a hefty price.

Feeling cruddy rn y'all. Had to skip out on a night market event (first market this year I've had to cancel) because my house is currently infested with ants and I just found out my poor kitty baby has fleas. So I'm getting a lift up to PetSmart in about an hour and a half to go get flea treatment shampoo, combs, a flea collar, and lots of treats. Poor baby is wanting pets and to snuggle in the bedroom and we just can't let him until this problem is dealt with. This year's been awful for bugs in general, don't believe the bullshit about Canada "always being cold" because where I live it's basically Florida in the summertime, I'm talking 35-40 degree (Celsius) heat with 80% humidity. So far this year (in the new apartment we moved into) we've had to deal with flies, june bugs, spiders, pill bugs, beetles, moths, and now fleas. I feel like the majority of them are coming up from the basement below, it's not an occupied space, just dirt and concrete, but there are vents in on the main floor connected to the basement and I'm willing to bet that's where a lot of the critters are getting in from, especially the ants.

I'm feeling really bad for my coworker and pal who's now having to run the table by himself, but the last thing I need is to be sitting in the sun talking to people for 7 hours when I have 122315832908 other things to be dealing with that are far more pressing. I don't have anything new to present so at best I'd be selling a couple stickers. The weather called for rain and thunder yesterday and it didn't happen. They called for rain today and it didn't happen. At this point you can't trust a single thing our weather report says, just assume it's gonna be hot and humid always u.u So glad Kisu'lk felt that this particular body in this particular point of human history was the perfect place for my spirit to go /s

I'm having to do all of this, btw, with no debit card because I'm waiting on a replacement one to come in the mail after my last one expired. Thankfully my partner's been lending me his but man, it's really inconvenient and it's taking fucking forever for it to come in. I gotta switch to the branch in town because I can't keep dealing with doing everything from my hometown bank in a whole ass other province LOL

Wish me luck y'all （；´д｀）ゞ

Paying for things with cash feels so different from paying for things with card. Like stealthy and less guilt inducing. Who knows about today's treat mini egg purchase? Not my bank, no, no. This is between me, God, and the lovely lady at the till.

F1’s inability to know what the fans and drivers want is truly astounding. Like every time we practically scream at them that we want the historic tracks/actual race tracks or more teams they go the opposite direction

honestly its clear that they don't like care as much about the entertainment aspect as much as they claim to. they do all this shit to pump up the entertainment factor to bring in and cater to new fans while completely ignoring the OG and older fans that kept the sport alive before Liberty took over.

but then its like sales and profits still override the 'entertainment' theyre pushing. its all capitalism at the end of the day. cash is king

🎶we couldve had it aaaaaaaaaaall* 🎵

*any of the amazing interesting circuits already existing instead of this disgusting shit in vegas

Esteban on his race and his mental resilience.

He got ill by lap 15/16 and he threw up for two Laps ("bon appetit").

I mean; he seems to be able to laugh about it now. But honestly, I think there is nothing to laugh about. The FOM and the FIA should always provide a safe environment for the drivers to drive. They are incredibly competitive people. They will get in that car, no matter what. If we are saying that we red flag a race due to heavy rain (when visabilty is poor or there is aquaplaining), why do they not interfere with these kind of weather conditions? It is not normal for the drivers to be that destroyed at the end of a race and for also that many drivers to go to the medical centre afterwards.

"ᶠ¹ ᵗᴱᵃᴹˢ ⁿᴱᵉᴰ ᴬ ᴾʳᴼᵖᴱʳ ⁿᴬᵐᴱ, ˢᴼ ᴵᵗ ᶜᴬⁿ ᵇᴱᶜᴼᵐᴱ ᴬ ᴸᵉᴳᵃᶜʸ" cries @tumblerina69 who thinks that the most important thing to succeed in one of the most expensive sports on earth is a name.

Having to read people complaining about the name under every post of every platform is getting tiresome. We get it you don't like the name, now move on.

Besties and worsties, here is your daily reminder that formula 1 is expensive as fuck, if a sponsor who is giving his own fucking money to a team wants to call it "ass on wheels F1 racing team" then good for them, and teams will have to comply for the simple fact that they want MONEY.

And honestly, the legacy thing is such a stupid ass statement, the 3 teams with the most "legacy" suck. Ferrari is 1 step away of becoming a benchmarker, McLaren has 1 win and has to copy everybody else's design to succeed, and do we even need to talk about Williams?

No shade or hate towards those teams and especially the engineers and mechanics who work on those cars, but people need to go find another hill to die on and leave the rest of us alone

The current dominating team is owned by a marketing company

Williams sold its soul to private investment

McLaren is still recovering from the spygate fine. They have a second mortgage on the MTC. Zak Brown is out there hustling for sponsors. Every single inch of his car, even the wheels, are covered in sponsors

Ferrari apparently used to let itself be led around by Santander

Everybody does what they have to survive in this sport
