Headline on CNN. Now, I'm no expert on whether or not it's realistic and I don't very much care that much about who leaves the EU and who doesn't, but guys, come on. Surely we can think of a better name? Italexit must be the single worst name ever in the history of names for political events.

Good to see my Slovak buddy doing well in the real hockey prediction contest.

One NBA season: at least 82 matches in roughly 6,5 months. NBA: "8 matches per year is abusive" Lol.

That's incorrect, but it is indeed what a lot of people falsely think And yes, there's quite a lot of people in WEC who can't buy themselves an F1 seat. Not being able to buy yourself an F1 seat doesn't say that much about your actual talent and potential and the whole buying yourself a seat thing is why there are quite some F1 drivers who aren't among the 20 best drivers in the world.

I don't think one series has 'the best' drivers. Some of the world's best are in F1, some are in IndyCar or NASCAR, others are in WEC and so on.

F1 is overrated as 'best class' anyway. The cars might be the best, only a handful of drivers is actually among the best.

That turn by Van Dam Blaak

Not entirely true because there is a difference in development between the teams, but overall, yes, it is indeed much closer than F1. Which is what Massa said.

I remember that, that was....special

Belgium destroyed England in the semi's, Netherlands was on the way to kick out double reigning world champion Australia but less than half a minute before the end the Aussies made 2-2

Guigonnat forgot his penalty lap

I've got a feeling it might not be so much about what he hit first, but about what happened after that (it kinda looked like he hit with his shoulder first indeed, but then had a massive backwards hit with his neck/head against the snow/ice, sort of like a huge whiplash).

That's just stating a fact, basically. It is indeed closer than F1, generally speaking. Most races are way closer and there's often more than only six realistic podium contenders.

I was so much looking forward to the podium ceremony with Fu.

Fan boost is the aids flu of motorsports.

Yeah Trinidad and Tobago winning a medal is really cool

F1 went all female unfriendly indeed, putting dozens of grid girls out of a job they choose to do. "Sorry, you're a woman so you can not do this job", F1 went back like 60 years with that.

I've never seen any indication that they have 'beating F1' as goal. It's simply something entirely different, not a direct rival.

Which personally I'd wait with until we know he is ok..

Surprisingly quickly, good job by the medical team.

Yeah, I've rarely seen someone tumble around so 'rag doll'-like.

Oh fuck, Gisin is KO

Yes, so we should enjoy it when we can
