Racey Spice was absolutely correct when he shouted "Fix your car!" while Toto is crying to the FIA for a rule change.

Everyone else had made the adjustments, it was Merc refused to raise the car and lose pace to fix the issue. Benito and Horner talking after confirmed everyone else was against it, Tota was looking for the FIA to bail them out.

Perez reaction to vettel retirement had me laughing. Dude has the best facial reactions.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a dude look like a bigger lesbian than George Russell. Wow. He looks like he should be on the US Womens soccer team.

I kind of feel bad for Mick. Maybe it's the same reason I felt bad for Claire Williams. I also got into the family business, and I know how crucial having your dad around is and what kind of pressure there is to be your dad but also not be your dad. Frank was somewhat there for Claire, but let's be honest, he was an a-hole. A great a-hole, but an a-hole nonetheless. If you've ever seen the William documentary, you know.

Mick's dad was a GOAT, and with him being worse than dead, it has to be hard on Mick. That said, mick is at the highest level because of his name, which I think he knows. The Schumi doc with Mick saying he wants to talk shop with his dad is heartbreaking. He was in a tough spot in F1. Hopefully he finds happiness outside of being a top 20 driver. He's not meant for the limelight.

Eh what ?

Dude won f2 and f3.

He earned his chance on his own performance. He’s just not good enough at the highest level. It’s almost like he made it to f1 and that was good enough for him.

Anyone know a reputable site to purchase practice round or qualifying tickets to the Monaco or Spanish Grand Prixs?

Thank you.

I could see Mick doing better with a different team. Some drivers need a different support system to thrive and Haas isn't the type of team that wants to develop a driver. Hell, Mick has to go rent a simulator himself if he wants to train on tracks.

Nakita and Mick both made references into that in 2021. About how so many tracks they were showing up to practice having never seen a lap around the track. Has to be hard for new drivers.
