How can you look at this beautiful piece of art, see the diversity of the drivers that have won (no one driver completely dominated) and complain about the season….

You’re a max fan, huh…

OptimalFunction

What a bigoted thing to say. As if other religious fanatics haven’t done worse. This was done to just an idiot. They were killing people and taking their homes…

I would expand the search to include union jobs since most pay a lot more than what you’re being offered and have benefits

Why now? Because Alpine is coming down hard on him. He said that he himself decided to take time away from social media to focus on racing when in reality it was Alpine that embargoed him.

They surprisingly do enforce the exhaust laws. Yes, plenty of BMWs/Benzs drive with loud exhaust in Glendale… still… but if there is an officer around, they will absolutely pull them over for that. Glendale PD doesn’t investigate fraud but it will 100% go after loud cars and tinted windshields. Almost everyday I see someone pulled over on Brand for car mods.

“I love living in the rural parts of the country because it’s safer compared to the city”

Rural America: *drivers trying to kill you at every moment.

They are driving a pavement princess, they are selfish… so blocking the intersection is normal for these assholes

James doesn’t a pretty good job of whoring out Williams to brands. One of their biggest sponsors is a Japanese heavy machinery company … why… but more important how!?’ I don’t think the majority of Williams fan base is in the market for a construction dump truck… but here we are, at a Williams fan zone with a construction dump truck sim.

The money doesn’t seem to be the problem but getting enough of the good engineers to stick around.

The fatigue…

This sub is glazing Max again… oof.

Max is 6th in the WDC, isn’t on this poster, yet every comment shoehorns Max into the convo. This year ain’t about Max, he ain’t a serious contender. F1 does not equal Max. There are talented drivers that have earned their points this year and are deserving that are not Max.

There will be a lot of complaining from Vegas workers as they rake in the big money.

I’ve been to the last three Vegas GPs and dude… the amount of money being dropped on services, products and tips is wild. High limit rooms are packed, restaurants are packed and tipped employees are doing well. All the uber black drivers I spoke to were super happy to have F1 because it’s non-stop work for them.

The downside is the increased amount of work to non-tipped employees (retail, custodial, etc). Some of the hotel restrooms around the track entry points (like the horseshoe), were being used… a lot. The custodians did such an amazing job keeping up with the work. I just hope F1 creates clauses in their contracts with hotels to take care of non-tipped employees. Forcing the hotel to pay bonuses/higher rates during the F1 weekend for non-tipped employees.

I know it’s extremely unpopular on this subreddit, but a Vegas double header weekend makes sense on so many levels. The weather is usually good (rain last year was extremely rare in the desert). The paddock is permanent, everything can easily be stored for one additional weekend. The stands are already built. Vegas can quickly provide all the necessary logistics to cater an event of this scale on a relatively last minute notice: a lot of hotels, a lot of food, a lot of labor, flexible policing, etc. The streets that need to be closed during the races are streets that normally see grid lock traffic almost every weekend.

Again, I know Vegas GP is the least favorite GP on this subreddit but it makes sense.

I can blame them if they close public land and public roads to the public while allowing only certain people to enjoy it. We had the civil rights movement to specifically end this.

Not the fast lane, it’s the passing lane. Calling it the fast lane encourage assholes like the one in OP’s video speeding up to prevent a lane switch.

Florida Fatigue.

Take away Florida’s statehood and give it to DC or Puerto Rico (if they want it). Besides alligators and copious amounts of illegal drugs, is there something in the Florida water? Is Florida what you get when you remove the mind controlling fluoride?

OptimalFunction

Sigh… I’m tired that this whole sub has become a Max sub…

Is Karen Bass allergic to listening, helping and serving the city’s residents?

No seriously, she rather see Angelenos die than hear that Burbank residents can no longer speed at 55mph in a 30mph zone.

Edit: wild that there are downvotes to my comment… cannot fathom anyone, right or left of the political spectrum still white knighting one of the worst mayors this city has seen. She somehow simultaneously pissed liberals, conservatives, NIMBYs, YIMBYs, pro-business and unions all while somehow killing projects during the eleventh hour that her office championed. A literal turkey sandwich would have been for this city because at least then the sandwich wouldn’t oppose the road repair the other city departments have been working on.

OptimalFunction

It’s not insane, I’ve seen rabid NIMBYs furious that the city wanted to build more housing. What’s insane is telling other people what they can and cannot do with thier own property! Like dude, it’s just 10 townhomes, not a skyscraper, not a weed dispensary, not a nightclub - 10 homes for 10 people.

I swear NIMBYs would rather a weed dispensary open up shop right next to them than rather a duplex be built in thier neighborhood.

OptimalFunction

Your point applies to all sports across the board. No one cares what kinda golf club, basketball material, or the technical stuff about a baseball bat. Most want to see an exciting game. Highly unpopular in this subreddit, but the regulations have been a hit outside of the technical die hard fans. Overtakes and close races >>>> pure flat foot v10 where the leader has lapped the second place driver.

Tf…? The America Cheeto loves oil along with the hicks that voted for him.

Can you admit that he is so stupid that he accidentally is pushing a liberal agenda because he has zero foresight.

OptimalFunction

Why do people try to excuse shit behavior with “must be dui” or “medical emergency” … most of the time pickup truck drivers are complete assholes. Their pickup truck culture is awful and dangerous.

OptimalFunction

Why do folks drive like absolute jackasses on roads with minimal traffic. They aren’t in a major 4 million+ city where traffic means traveling 5mph. What’s waiting 2 more minutes for the next light cycle?

(This is all rhetorical, I’m fully aware that suburb drivers are some of the most self center selfish assholes out there)

OptimalFunction

This is not an F1 sport problem…. The vast majority of fans are amazing folks.

Can’t name who was sending the threats because you’ll be censored here

Your comment is peak lefty LA NIMBY car brain.

The conversation is about how large cars, poor infrastructure design and car brain behavior is killing pedestrians but you instead stand on your soapbox to white knight pickup truck and SUV drivers.

Call them Daddy SUV, soccer SUVs, deadly SUV, emotionally support pickup trucks, a pavement prince… I don’t give a fuck. I care about my neighbors not dying in hit & runs caused by deadly machines driven by reckless drivers on LA city streets that are meant for all.

If these weird triangles discourage shit brained drivers from not cutting corners and keep pedestrians safe, I’m all for it.

OptimalFunction

Replace car with housing and suddenly everyone begins siding with the dummies that paid $100k+ for a Durango “minivan” LOL.

Scalpers get mad when they overpay and the gamble doesn’t payout. My favorite is when J Balvin messed with sneaker buying bots by pricing his shoes at $25k… fans got a discount code that brought it down to $250 and code would change.

All types of scalpers are scum

Great pictures but it’s hard to start a convo because the pictures are vacation pictures. It would help to see pictures of you doing your hobby/interests. For example instead of a picture with a fur coat in snow, one of you skiing. Instead of a picture in front of the Fleet Feet background, one of you running
