i reckon next race or the one after, it's just a broken thumb so nothing too bad, he's come back from worse

i used to be a bit anti-marquez but having watched his documentary on netflix it's definitely changed my perspective on him and i appreciate him a lot more

i'm a miller fan at heart though

marquez is the people's favorite to hate which is sad
he's one of the goats

my family's been fans since he started in motogp (not hard since he won his debut rookie year)

Track day went really well. Wets give an absolutely tremendous amount of grip. Was the only person out on the track in my group for the first three sessions so had a good time learning all the lines and getting a feel for the track

What's the purpose/entertainment value of watching f1?

F1 is a highly technological sport, cars driving at 300kph with the best racing drivers in the world.

A lot of drama and great racing, when the cars are competitive with each other it's fantastic. Also part of F1 is teams trying to loophole every rule possible to get an advantage over rivals.

What's the purpose/entertainment value of watching f1?

Watching our Magic Alonso get fat Ws, eternally hope for a 33rd and the engineering part of it, and things going fast too. Rest is sadly increasingly diluted nowadays, though it still has some charm on certain tracks.

Getting kind of boring to see the very prominent thematic lately, I guess. And the money, because who doesn't love racing in countries that violate certain rights you advocate for am I right. Maybe recently it's getting a bit closer.

Still not a bad watch on occasions. Not the same as when we had v12 or v10s with the whole new hybrid loophole but it's cool nonetheless.

Photos finally came through from Donington, don't expect and knee dragging, hanging off goodness because it was my first time on track in the wet, as well as being on wets and they handle so weirdly, especially when the track is drying

Dilano Van’t Hoff, a driver in FREC, spun out at spa in the wet, and another car flew into his side

It’s just been announced that he passed away

Pretty much 1:1 how Hubert died

Fucking tragic
