This morning I remarked to my brothers how this was the first time in a very long time that we were screaming at the top of our lungs, dog barking nearby in confusion, at the end of a race. Pure excitement and […]

A bit surprised that ESPN would be the one to write perhaps the most eloquent take-down of grid girls, but ‘ll take it!

And grid robots?! Actually a genius solution hahah

@todfod , @john-h is right: Liberty is changing the target audience away from people like you, so you’re the one who is gonna have to tune out. Hurry up while you’re at it.

As for this statement:
If you […]

@sergio-perez I think you misunderstand, it’s not a reaction to a male-dominated audience in this situation, it’s a reaction to the very nature of being a model. The job entails to be objectified, and a […]

@hohum No worries, that’s why I pointed out how grid girls/models/brand reps are dressed to appeal to hetero males predominantly; It’s not very inclusive (morality and all, aside).

I’m going to get bashed for this.
At least you know what’s coming for ya. I seriously hope you’re just playing devil’s advocate here man.

The overall point is that having several human beings standing around d […]

@casjo beat me to the punch but I like where your head is at, haha.

In response to Mr. Bird, it is an extremely dangerous notion to “just conform like everyone else”. I realize this is just a ceremonial thing, but my goodness, his statement is out of some authoritarian dystopia. […]

With all due respect, @strontium, it would be naive to assume that current fans speak for future ones, especially if they’re from a completely different demographic. Liberty knows this, which might explain the […]

@strontium Well, Brawn has repeatedly and clearly stated the intention is to draw in new fans, so the utility of our (current fans’) responses is limited. Plus, if you continually cater to your base at the expense […]

This whole Ferrari thing is clearly analogous to being in an abusive relationship. Would we tell victims (F1) to appease their aggressors (Ferrari) because ‘they (F1) wouldn’t be anything’ without them (Ferrari)? […]

I can’t even begin to comprehend how tough its must be for Newey to grapple with the complex emotions related to Senna’s death. I commend his courage putting forth this explanation.

I agree Raph, pretty tough (I’m from the U.S.), but the best we can do is draw attention to the positives and share the good vibes! Hopefully FOM will help us out a bit too hahah

Overall a pretty great race! Even my non-race-fan friends took their time out from medical school with me at 2am to watch, which is really saying something. Will they be eventual converts? Who knows, but the combo […]

@sjzelli I’m curious, what is your definition of pedestrian in this context?

Bernie’s restaurant analogy is an expected spin on the situation, with the obvious benefit to his legacy. It can be a dangerous sentiment to get behind, though. I caution my fellow race fans to resist the elitism […]
