Yuki’s foray into buying NFT art came to an abrupt end when Carlos explained that people can simply right-click and save his image

Don’t look down there Yuki.

It disturbs me when you look down there and start crying.

Sorry I wasn’t aware of that if that is the case :(
I just rattle them off as they occur to me.

@broke1984 @nullapax Nope, you can leave as many as you like. The only rule is RaceFans employees can’t win COTD… (sorry @willwood)

Totally unrelated to the competition.
Is there a story behind this picture? It really looks like Yuki is emotionally torn about something here.
It even looks like there is snot hanging from his nose.
Hopefully it is just one of those freak pictures that occur.

My best bet is it was taken just in the right time. I have no idea where but it is a good photo for caption competition
Nulla Pax (@nullapax)
1st January 2022, 17:32
My best guess would be he was having a sneezing fit hence the snot and the screwed up face ;)

Don’t worry, Marko hated me too. You just gotta leave and use your talents to find a better drive… on 2nd thoughts, that won’t work.
Maybe try get Honda back again.

Pierre looks silly, and you look just as silly for copying him. Now if you promise to turn your cap around I’ll release my Vulcan nerve pinch.
