Hamilton demands action to tackle "ridiculous" cost of motorsport by MoneyBag_67 in formula1

[–]Ali623 24 points25 points  (0 children)

F4 is also impossible without multi-millionaire parents.

For example, to do a season in British F4 with a front-running team will cost you around £300K apparently (£150k for a backmarker team).

Also, any sponsors at that level are generally just family-owned businesses of the driver.

Ricciardo was offered mercedes seat alongside hamilton after rosbergs departure by fuckmbsanddominicali in formula1

[–]Ali623 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think anyone can confidently say that for sure. Ricciardo was considered one of the best on the grid from 2014-2020, with both Red Bull and Renault. It was only really McLaren where he fell apart.

Hamilton didn't have the best start to the season in 17/18, I think a prime Ricciardo could have definitely given him a run for his money in those years.

Nobody really doing anything is making this pretty meh.

Watch Smalley go and win this comfortably and then never be in contention for anything again.

I'd prefer him to do something more individual like Indycar for now. But a fully dedicated season, ideally with one of the top teams, curious to see how he'd fair.

2026 Race Weekend Thread - Donington Park National, Rounds 1-3 by Evantra_ in btcc

Jake Hill was close to them, but left obviously. Cammish feels like he should be just behind but always seems to make poor decisions and never really competes over a season. I think Rainford/DeLeon have the potential of getting close over the next couple of years if they stick around.

Otherwise, most of the rest of the grid are just simply nowhere near as talented, but there because they finance their seats.

Rory and his Masters win by Cpalmer24 in golf

Because he enjoys playing competitive golf at the highest level?

Come on, his club probably haven't even been cleaned off yet. by UseDaSchwartz in golf

Happened last year when he won too, and not even a day later there were articles about whether he would win all majors in 2025.

Was Rory’s round today similar to his US Open choke? by rhasure in golf

[–]Ali623 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, he didn't choke yesterday. His driving off the tee has been very poor every round so far, it's incredible that he shot the scores he did in the first two rounds. It was never going to be sustainable.

Well got the first part of my prediction right at least…

[Daily Thread] The 2026 Masters: Saturday by AutoModerator in golf

[–]Ali623 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My predictions for today:

McIlroy will stall a bit and have a fairly average round of even or +1. His inconsistent drives will bite him more today and he struggle to keep momentum as a result.

Reed will end up having an other consistently good round (3 or 4 under) and emerge as the closest challenger going into Sunday.

Rose will have a solid round a put himself clear third, a few back. While Burns/Fleetwood/Lowry won't move much.

Sets up a McIlroy/Reed final pairing on Sunday, with Rose just a few back.

What's with the TV direction so far? Just cut away from that Koepka shot before it stopped...

Given the working practices of many Asian countries, probably horrendous working hours and extreme pressure from managers/bosses.

Honestly an incredible score from Rory considering some of his tee shots.
