As an Aussie I love the European and middle eastern races for the same reasons, I can watch them in peace in the evening/night. Melbourne, China, Malaysia and Japan are a pain as they are on during the day and I've got things to do instead. The only inconvenient ones are Nth America and Brazil, but I'm fine with that and will put the effort in if the season looks like a good one.


Wait, has that gone up since last year? Because if so that's even bigger bullshit.
I remember only reading about it going up 5% every year.

Canada is always on the long weekend but Brazil wrecks me. Thankfully my boss is also in the same boat so that's usually not a productive day in general.

Ignoring 2007 when McLaren was disqualified from the WCC, they have never not scored in a season. Looks like this is going to be their year.

How long ago was the exact same post made about Williams?

I'm not a McLaren apologist, I love seeing Big Ron squirm as much as anyone.

lmao the FIA still schedules the start of the Malaysian GP for 3pm. It's almost as if they want it to piss down and be red flagged, because it rains in KL almost like clockwork at 4pm.

Nearly all the grandstands are covered. They're just making sure the fans are dry and in their seats before nature spreads some excitement on the track.

In 2013 I got a ton of mini-bottles of Clear from a Lotus promoter girl who just couldn't be bothered anymore and clearly had too much shampoo to give out. She happily let me fill a bag with as much shampoo as I could carry. Thank you Big Jeans!!!

I tried a free can of burn energy drink at a race last year. Did not kill me. Thank you Kimi and Big John.

Later I paid $16 for a beer. Also did not kill me.

Is the only reason they don't have conventional pits in Formula E because the batteries are way too heavy to easily swap out? If so I think we should cross it with World's Strongest Man and have one of the pit crew lift the fresh battery down from a pedestal fifty yards from the pit and farmers walk it to the car. While this is happening the driver can take a penalty kick or try to complete a John Virgo trick shot for bonus points.

I'm going to start a motorsport blog where I copy posts from here and publish them as though they were fact.
