W Series might promote gender equality but you can still have the wrong passport. Another case of USA refusing to issue a visa for a Russian athlete. We've seen this with tennis players & the Eugene DL fiasco lately. Yeah, tell me more about women rights now

That's not the fault of the W Series though. At least not mostly.

I didn't say it was W Series fault. It's obviously US government fault. Gender equality is the popular agenda unless Russian passport gets in the way

If a Russian passport was the sole reason, we'd at least be able to have the GP without Mazepin this week, but alas, it was not to be

Formula 1 is run by an American company and Mazepin drives for an American team. US government will not hamper their own business on the international scene.

Despite all the NASCAR playoff gimmicks the best driver of the season actually won the Cup title. Kyle Larson really deserved that!

Bit of a boring final race, but yeah, Larson absolutely destroyed the competition this year  

 

And it wouldn't be the tiny bit 'fake feeling' of NASCAR if the entire Championship 4 didn't finish in the top-4  

 

Edit: I just see that Blaney passed Elliott in the end, wow.
