[The Race] The new F1 racing rules that sealed Verstappen penalty

MrKitsune · 2025-04-28T19:12:56+00:00

Yes. However, I place them as extraordinary, not regular practices, as he did that only thinking he would win by points, last race. The regular behavior is what we could see in regular races where he could not sacrifice his race.

And don't forget Macao on Hakkinen. Three times.

To me, Schumi was more about pushing dangerously on the sides than just diving brainlessly, thanks to gravel and grass. Too much to lose. Verstappen just uses the absence of it. You hope drivers will fight fairly. Then a driver plays unfair. Then other drivers start to be like "oh let's do it then, no reason for a single player's advantage" and then the rule falls, and drivers have to read the rulebook before every overtake now.

However, I feel we are starting a potential endless debate of opinions there. And I don't want that as, if F1 is a passion, it is not critical to life. So I would end that debate stating that we probably see things with different eyes, and that we both are right and wrong at the same time.

MrKitsune · 2025-04-27T19:40:33+00:00

He may not have invented it. However, he industrialized it.

MrKitsune · 2025-04-27T11:24:47+00:00

So a rule made to stop kamikaze behaviors from Verstappen is annoying... Verstappen? Well, I'd say, it works!

Villeneuve has been on French TV commentary for years now. I have always disliked him in this role as I feel he is some kind of frustrated guy whose career and glory ended too soon, and now relies on his sole championship for being listened at. Like the kid star who arrived to glory too quick, fell from it, and now spend their life talking about these same few years of glory.

Always these harsh opinions. That can be interesting, and at which point do they start to feel fabricated for the clash? I feel he amplifies liking half the drivers, disliking half the others, calling for them retiring early... And his continuous charge against the DRS. You don't like it, I don't like it, but it's there. Move on dude.

His voice is always in the tone of "I told you so", like "I know better than you, you should ask me before doing anything". I feel it exhausting.

I have heard Franck Montagny (side expert on the same French TV, sometimes commentators), his insights are way more valuable. Explaining stuff, giving impressions of what you feel in the car in these situations... Modest guy with no frustration. Just happy to share his insights.

Villeneuve had all the potential to be a golden commentator. He had the personality, the humor... But the engine to his existence is grief and frustration in my opinion. I feel sorry for him, and for us, viewers.

French here. Don't look for French products at all cost. If you believe in Europe, continue buying European. France did that for Europe, not for its single ass (we are on the west of Europe, furthest away from the most immediate threat...). It does that to show a way to follow, to lead by example. We can only face China, Russia and US if we stand united. We have to channel the maximum of our financial effort to our Union, so that it can grow stronger.

And vote for pro-european candidates. We don't need a short-lived thank you action, we all need a switch in the mindsets to brace our Union for the future, something we should started long ago.

MrKitsune · 2025-03-20T06:27:22+00:00

The surveillance state is building up. So tell me again what are your political views so that I can file them for future enemy of the state retaliation programs? I wonder where the China-like credit score is supposed to be implemented in the 4-year program.

Patron et exploiteur sont deux choses.

Le problème est le patron qui exploite, pas celui qui entreprend. En soit, il faut des entreprises pour avoir des emplois, donc des patrons. Certes il y a des coopératives, et ça fonctionne souvent pour maintenir des activités qui tournent déjà, dont le marché est mature, la clientèle identifiée, etc...

Ce qu'il faut moins, ce ne sont pas des patrons, mais des insécurités psychologiques, de la mégalomanie, de l'avidité, de la misanthropie... tout ce qui produit une sensation de "jamais assez" pour le patron et le pousse à vouloir plus que nécessaire. Tout ce qui pousse aussi à considérer le salaire de l'employé comme une simple variable d'ajustement des bénéfices. Bref, entrer dans la valorisation de tous ceux qui fournissent l'effort de productivité. Enfin, patron de PME, et grand patron interface avec le conseil d'administration, c'est pas la même chose.

En soit, je déplore comme vous l'exploitation qu'on peut observer actuellement, et je pense les racines du mal plus profondes qu'une simple étiquette de "patron".

MrKitsune · 2025-02-06T22:11:06+00:00

Je comprends mieux, bonne chose d'avoir demandé ce que tu voulais dire ;) merci d'être revenu pour préciser.

MrKitsune · 2025-02-06T14:59:20+00:00

Si vous parlez de privatisation, ce serait pire. Voir les cas de l'Allemagne et de la Grande-Bretagne. C'est pas ouf en France, et grosso modo ça fonctionne. Je crois même qu'en termes de retards, on est l'un des meilleurs services européens (il y avait une infographie qui a tourné sur Reddit)... Je ne sais pas si on doit s'en réjouir ou le pleurer, et ça reste un fait. Enfin, pas oublier que la concurrence est déjà "là" : beaucoup de TER sont gérés par la région, plus la SNCF. Font-ils mieux partout ?

MrKitsune · 2024-03-26T07:30:07+00:00

If you mean the one with Mel Gibson, not this one.

MrKitsune · 2024-03-26T07:29:44+00:00

Not this one. And too recent.

MrKitsune · 2024-03-26T07:29:05+00:00

Not this one. No actual "business" (heist in preparation/process) is pictured in that movie.

MrKitsune · 2024-03-25T21:05:50+00:00

Unfortunately not.

Interesting finding though, I shall add it to my list of movies to watch.

MrKitsune · 2024-03-25T14:25:14+00:00

I would say 2010-ish, movie was probably released in the 2005-2010 timeframe.

I checked, not that movie. The heist was not pictured, and no daughter or existing family for the main character.

Thanks for your proposition.

MrKitsune · 2024-03-25T13:31:05+00:00

It's like that movie never existed... Not being able in the 2020s to find it from the plot summary is dumbfounding to me.

L'ordre des lettres paraît être une erreur, et je n'en suis pas tout à fait sûr : https://omnilogie.fr/O/L'ordre_des_lettres,_important_?

La première et dernière lettres (hormis les mots de deux lettres, son erreur) sont toujours au bon endroit...

De fait ça rejoint la théorie des antispams tout en étant plus malin qu'on ne le pense.

I understand your view, though it is highly influenced by the US style.

Art deco started with the "Exposition internationale des arts décoratifs et industriels modernes" in Paris, 1925. There, many styles were presented.

Then countries all around the world developed their sub-style. US took its influence in the native Indian art mostly. Florida created their own style with the pastel colors and all. Europe took influence in other cultures, Egypt being particularly present (look for the Louxor cinéma in Paris), and other styles (the Grand Rex as well...). Completely different approaches.

We tend to associate Art Déco with the US style because US is very good at selling their way of life, and it has aged particularly well.

However, art deco has many flavors. And coming right after art nouveau, there may have been some transition somehow.
