Because cheering for or hating a team instead of a driver is lame.

 

Hendrick still had Jeff Gordon who was probably the most popular driver once Bill Elliott retired. It didn't help Johnson basically denied Gordon a couple of extra championships (2007 is what especially comes to my mind).

Yes indeed, all the cheering comes from his father's legacy! NASCAR will ride this kid as the new poster boy for the next couple of decades ;)

My thoughts: "Nope, I am not gonna let the fun of Elliott's awesome win get sucked away" :d

There's an F1 thread for this :d 

 

(I didn't say that about Alonso because that's about more than just F1)

 

Talking about Alonso: rumours are he might drive IndyCar next year, next to his WEC schedule.

Thanks! :yes

I wasn't sure to put it there because the thread was named "Formula 1 FIA World Championship 2018" and this involved the 2019 season.

    • I really hope Nordic Combined doesn't get scrapped. Actually, I believe the Winter Olympics should keep growing with new sports and disciplines (3x3 Hockey, Ice Cross, Speed Skiing, Ice Climbing), otherwise they won't feel like a true celebration of sports like their summer counterpart.
    • In fact, well, no. Hockey is extremely physically demanding, I even think it is the most physically demanding winter sport of all. I mean keeping more than a minute on ice is just cardiac. The shifts are there for a reason.   25 players rosters are absolutely justified. You must have 4 lines to keep the stamina the whole game.   Hard to persuade people who never watched hockey though, I can understand your point, but sadly, the point is wrong
    • Stats are ok, but the time she losts on the range every time... My point was that she is more likely to make us losing the olympic relay than to make us winning it.  
    • I'll jump on the off-topic with an unpopular opinion - ice hockey isn't so stamina demanding to justify 25 people rosters. And it doesn't have big playing fields like football or rugby for example, where you'd require so many reserves. 15 field players + 3 goalies should be good. Or 18+3 at max. But 25 is too much imo and the constant substitutes are too much as well.
    • But her shooting surely never was horrendous, or even bad for her standards.
