Renault has filed an official protest against the design of the Racing Point RP20, which a lot of people see basically as a copy of last year's Mercedes - that might lead to issues regarding the legality.
Typical F1 politics. After two races it's clear Racing Point is the "best of the rest" - hell, with Ferrari sucking they're Top 3 on speed. And that makes other teams' angry. This protest won't go far IMO. We've seen this bullshit before.

SPM blew the strategy and lost the win. Should have put O'Ward on blacks on the last stint. Those used reds were gone in the last few laps.
Still only one Mexican winner at Elkhart Lake!

The one time the field is actually together, since normally there's a couple of guys hanging back 30 meters behind the rest.
Daly was right at the back and managed to crash into someone anyway. I kinda miss Helio Castroneves trying to jump every restart and cause a wave off

I'm convinced every summer olympics' top 10 medaling nation (+Norway for WOG) has similar secret programs.
Norway made sure the symbicort doping is legal. That can't be undone. The spanking they took at the 2009 World Champs in Liberec made the beast angry!

I bet the guys in the back got the Green Flag call and O'Ward simply didn't go. That's the issue with these slow starts. You bunch the field up and mayhem happens.
Will Power punted Hunter-Reay off and wheel-banged Rahal into a crash few seconds later too. Nice one!

Road America Race 2 starts in ca. 40 minutes. It's always tough to predict the green flag time in these US races
They have 2,5 hour window before Kentucky NASCAR Cup race starts.

Since it's not Russia, the so-called Western World will do everything to cover up that something was iffy about London 2012. We all know IOC won't open the LA 1984 Games can of worms especially when it comes to Carl Lewis who admitted to using doping on record ca. 20 years ago already. UK would probably like everyone to forget about Wiggins and Froome but cycling is Top 3 of the dirtiest sports in the world where even the TUE excuse looks suspicious. However I'm still waiitng on the Mo Farah/NOP deal. That threat is still real even though British Athletics has fired just about everyone in charge of the federation at the time. Let's see if that works!

I have seen boring races before, but jeez, this was boring. First and last laps were interesting and a one lap fight for 2nd as well, that leaves 68 boring laps
Ok, watching Perez was at least alright.
C'mon! By modern standards that was 6/10 race. You don't remember the utter borefest at the Valencia Street Circuit for instance? Not to mention some of the Catalunya classics nobody remembers anymore

Ferrari waited two corners to fuck up their race

Scott Dixon goes 3 for 3 in Road America Race 1. Championship looks as good as over already. Newgarden stalled in the pits after leading half of the race and finished 14th. Race 2 is tomorrow.
Alex Palou gets the best rookie finish of the season in 3rd!

If I'm not mistaken, he didn't actually quote Hitler. Which is not making it any better, because he did seem to think he was actually quoting Hitler. Dumbo
More like a genuine racist. You can't sell me a 30 year old person doesn't know who the fuck Hitler was. Americans don't care much about non-American things but Hitler made plenty of noise even NFL players should know what's up. This isn't "Africa is a country" type of dumbos

And they used to degrade this forum too
But as I said before, the Youtube findings thread is still useful
Not enough cynicism here to be this bad
And I'm a guy who LOVES cynicism

Except the people of Hong Kong who the world will turn their back on.
The so-called world has a habit of turning back on other people if juice is not worth the squeeze. Tell me how many troops Great Britain and France send when Hitler invaded Poland in 1939?
That's old news but hell, nobody gave a damn about the Roginhyas lately either. Nobody cares about the civil war in Yemen. Nobody cares about War in Donbass
The list goes on and on... Hong Kong needs to take a number and wait in line. Their goose is cooked

It is something like 49,5 % of People, 49,5 % of China and somewhere about 1% of Republic. Although, there might be more of "of" than of Republic in that country.
Bottom line is, China is the second biggest global economy in the world. Communists have mastered how to play the capitallist game which is even more impressive if you consider Mao's tenure dragged them even lower than the Soviet Union's communism. Nobody's gonna die to keep democracy in Hong Kong

Hong Kong is no longer Hong Kong, China. It is Hong Kong, People’s Republic of China. The IOC should throw out their NOC.
Neah, IOC won't annoy China before the Beijing WOG. You should know better how it works

Retirement at age 20 could only mean two sports in 99% cases - figure skating or gymnastics. Take a guess

Though I do in no way feel certain about it, I really think you're seeing too much in Kanye West's candidacy. It could just as well be the death of such candidacies. Dan Bilzarian announced his candidacy 4 years ago, but wasn't on the ballot. Considering that few celebreties who are as narcissistic as Kanye, I'm not so sure that a candidacy that by all means won't go far will end up meaning that much. Sure it's a major blow for the democracy that we see such an unserious candidacy, but before he's on the ballot and actually get a decent number of votes, I personally don't see it as much more than what we've seen from the likes of Vermin Supreme.
We'll have to wait and see, but it honestly feels like he gets much more attention than he deserves.
West would be a flameout in the blocks but what if LeBron James says he wants to run for President? I can totally see that happen in the 2030s tbh. Athletes are egoists too but people view them in more positive way than some trash-talking rappers.

Better classic Mugello than some other fantasy track from the last 5-6 years. Still dreaming of the return of Imola, Hockenheim, Nürburgring
Imola? WTF? This track has lost its soul with all the chicanes. Catalunya is the last relict still on the calendar and even all the new Tilkedromes avoid those sweeping bends and fast chicanes that simply prevent overtaking by default. Imola was a great track in the 80s and early 90s but it died the day Ayrton Senna was killed.
Does anyone even remember those horrible artificial chicanes at Silverstone or Spa in 1994-95 they introduced in wake of Senna's death? That was a completely wrong solution as well.
The old Hockenheim died in 2001 as well. I never liked the modern version and the fact they abandoned the long straights in the woods. This new layout has no soul either.

With Kanye West announcing his intentions to run for President the reputation of the office has taken even a bigger hit. In 50 years time I won't be surprised if some celebrities will indeed be elected full-time which would only serve their brand and definitely not the people. Right now Trump is only a one-off but come 2060 this could be a new norm. People don't trust lifelong politicians anymore and I don't see this changing anytime soon. The only way the likes of West or other celebs rising to power is stopped is for the party politics to repeal them with all their might and finances. Lobbyists and financial backers believe they can control any politician. They can't control Trump and they wouldn't be able to control West or any other rapper/actor who might fancy running in the future.

If DeSean Jackson was white, he'd be kicked out of the league as pure racist IMO. But the BLM leeway allows him to get away unscathed with quoting Hitler of all people
Even Julian Edelman says he doesn't want to distract the BLM movement and talks about "outstanding plays Jackson made in his career"
-
Mugello is Imola & Catalunya on steroids. F1 racing there will be awful unless there is some overtaking at San Donato. Other than that it's impossible with all these chicanes.

True. Plus that's not what the movement is about. Networks think they're doing something by removing these episodes or movies from their platforms but it just villainizes the movement when they're not even asking for this, it gives an opportunity to the opponents to make them look bad.
Censorship always backfires against the censors. Damnatio memorae is just another form of censorship. Stalin did it so why can't Netflix do it? We live in such progressive times the liberals are taking lessons from ancient emperors and Joseph Stalin himself

he has nothing to add to his career really and it was much better if they hired a young driver
They need a veteran driver who can help them with car development with rules change on the horizon. Ocon ain't that guy.

That's important point, we have one of the oldest society in Europe, many of +65yo people doesn't have access to Internet or even if they have that, they don't know how use this.
Some time ago I read somwhere that around 25% of our population doesn't have permanent internet access, we can believe that most of that people lives in small villages.
Then such people might doesn't know about existence of other political parties than PO, PiS and time to time mentioned Lewica as they only are watching TV and mainly TVP. As we all know "thanks" to this, PiS have always advantage in villages/small towns and among +65yo people and they still will vote for them because they are giving 500+ and 13/14 additional universal retirement, which PO didn't it during their leadership during 8 years.
That's a myth. My mother is 64yo and back in the 90s she couldn't turn the damn VCR on but now she's on Instagram and Youtube all the damn time! Smartphone is the most important item in her life these days
So whenever I hear "we need politics on TV because older people can't use internet" I look at my mother and say - BULLSHIT
