Hopefully none of them will be attacked by some creep. I know there’s only like 2,500 Qatari police officers at the fences around the course... “Sport has the power to change the world.

Plus it's not interesting enough to sustain a German GP when a German manufacturer collects titles like crazy. So I guess Germany doesn't love fast Mercedes cars enough. I honestly can't answer all those questions. I don't care about cars and think Formula 1 is boring + i think driving a car is bad for the climate, so i am boycotting everything that has to do with cars.

They come across so fake to me, with the constant smiles, the hairs, the pandering to the fans, which Bolt started. Our commentators couldn't stop talking about SAFP and Elaine's haires the whole night... They were nowhere until Bolt came and then everyone else after him in 2008 brought so much media/public hype, that i never liked. Even to this day, Jamaica rarely gets any negative press, even though their sprinters are just as shady as the americans. But they get a pass most of the time. Ok i get it. This is also the reason why i always hated Michelle Jenneke, Simone Biles and Katinka Hosszu. Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

You just said F1 is interesting and everyone loves fast cars? Now you say it's boring? I watch F1 since 1991 so listen to what I say. Spa Francorchamps, Budapest & Silverstone are the best attended F1 races year after year. If Germans won't come to athletics WCh in Budapest it's because the German team is in decline and there are low expectations. I'm pretty sure Polish fans will flood the place to take the spot vacated by Germans. The entire Europe will come here since Hungary is easily reachable from every corner of the continent.

Hopefully that will be enough. In Germany we have news about women being raped by immigrants almost every week. I also have to say that it is kind of disrespectful by all those women to walk the streets so late at night with almost nothing on. They are guests over there, so they should accept the dress code of the country that gave them such a warm welcome.

Yeah, before i was trying to speak from the perspective of an average guy, who likes nothing more than fast cars, meat and naked women. I don't think that the german team is in decline + it is difficult to say what state the german team will be in come 2023, but if that keeps german fans away from Budapest, then i am fine with it. Many german people have made bad experiences with Hungary (for example Hungary was very hostile when german people wanted to visit them about 75 years ago), so i think most german people wont be very eager to go there again.

It's funny since when I last visited Hungary I could communicate faster with the the locals in German rather than English That tells me Germans are visiting the damn place too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
