It's not about being macho at all. It'd just be nice to see some fight or passion about being this close to winning the World Championship (something millions dream of, and that very few ever get to do) actually *means* something to them.

How can fans be expected to be invested when the drivers don't appear to be, though? Norris comes across someone who knows sweet FA about the history of the sport, and Piastri is so laid back to the point you think he probably won't care if he doesn't win it, either.

Yes, I dislike Norris that much that I have reverted to my teenager-posting-on-F1-forums days.

Comparing a guy who voiced political opinions you disagreed with to someone responsible for the deaths of six milllion Jews is nowhere close to the same thing. This kind of discourse is the problem.

Genuinely, this is part of the reason I rarely ever discuss politics publicly anymore. Because the rhetoric has been so vile and divisive on both sides of the political spectrum for so long.

Had never heard of Charlie Kirk to a couple of days ago. Still don't know much about him now. Maybe he *was* a bad person with bad views. But celebrating his death doesn't make you a good person either. It just makes you a bit of a cunt.

Also, what a depressing season 2025 is turning into:
F1 - dominated by McLaren
MotoGP - dominated by Marc Marquez
IndyCar - dominated by Alex Palo
WEC - dominated by Ferrari
IMSA - dominated by IMSA

There's always next year, I suppose? 😐

Such a shame that with this many manufacturers, one is still dominating even in an era of BoP. Ferrari may be knee-capped for the rest of the season to keep other manufacturers happy, but it's kinda academic at this point. #LM24Hour

But c'mon, this is a banger. And thanks to my Duolingo, I understand...about three words? www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUC9...

Update: they finished dead last.

It's not me that has bad taste, I swear - it's everyone else! #esc #esc2025
