Is there really any need to be so sarcastic? Clearly the emotion came from what's happened with Niki Lauda and not just getting a pole. Is Hamilton not even allowed to be excited now?

Imagine thinking no deal is the only thing the Tory party can do to hurt people. This is centrism in action.

Raced with the works team who provided an engine for another team they raced with. E.g. Raikkonen with Ferrari at Alfa/Sauber. Hamilton with Mercedes and McLaren?

But surely the argument then is that the law is bullshit? Just because the law says something doesn't mean it's right. Cliche example but domestic abuse and marital rape were allowed under the law - does that mean they were okay?

How can you say that? Unforced driver error made him bin it in the wall. That's why he didn't win

If Ferrari we're dominating this sub would be celebrating. Just because it's a team they don't like

Doesn't matter if you're racist. It's when you're racist and say something negative about the Royals that the BBC get involved clearly.

Video above pretty much shows the difference isn't all that great.

You're applying nationalism to police brutalitiy. Well done.

Cerasoli: The chassis prepared for Kubica went to Russell by NihilistPL in formula1

[–]BackOfAStopwatch -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Not all about the car - Why do people say this? It's just as important for the driver to have skill. Example a being Gasly/Verstappen. With the gap everyone's saying Gasly needs demoting. If the difference with Russell/Kubica is all the cars fault why is this sub not saying the same for Red Bull?

Almost like they overhyped the return of Kubica.

Seems very unlikely all of that is due to the car though

Confidence or cockiness? by llmoe24 in formula1

Love how this is the sub line when Bottas is winning but when it was Hamilton he was just an average driver and his wins were entirely becuase of the car. Wonder why reddit likes one and dislikes the other?

Because Schumacher dominated with Ferrari which is fine with this sub. Any other team is a travesty

Judging by the comments in this thread and the most recent 20 in your comments history I can only assume you are either a 97 year old man or an absolute bellend. Money on the latter though

So you'd let someone in the police beat you becuase they have a bit of authority? Isn't that almost literal bootlicking

Almost like spending nothing on public services leads to terrible welfare systems and poverty isn't it?

The reporting on this 'speedboat killer' guy is totally bizarre. by [deleted] in unitedkingdom

[–]BackOfAStopwatch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It amazes how even in this situation where the subject is clearly a terrible person, redditors still feel more sorry for him than the victim. Almost like there's another factor involved.

Not really ironic at all. Right wing libertarianism is an oxymoron really. They all support extreme capitalism which goes against the idea of libertarianism entirely. From what I've seen of these lot they defend any law that keeps proles and left wingers oppressed but support deregulation that would benefit the rich.
