The richest and most successful display their prestige by constantly looking like they are taking a poo poo. 'Conspicuous making GBS threads' is the term Veblen coined to describe the phenomenon.

Poois Shamilton..."conspicuous making GBS threads".... by god, it's all coming together Watson! Explains his performance at the Hungarararraring on Sunday.

Problematic if you're dropping Lewis as your favorite driver just because he's gay. Mods?

Saving this post now for when he's hired by "the scud". and El Heffe talks about what a pure racer he is.

I'm not even kidding, the Hamilton Ferrari era is going to be glorious for the almost US-republican esque position changes.

Lewis neckbeard game is strong.

Malady, Nico *tips cap*

Also with Better being 21 points back from Rosberg, I wonder if he feels his biggest rival is infant Seb? I would not be surprised if vettel ended up at least beating Nico in points come November
