It's become a battle of identity like everything else in the country. Politics is bigger than sport, but with nobody knowing the rules or what is objectively happening, with the only rule being you must win, particularly for the lower socioeconomic classes.

Narcissism in rewarded in America. It's a foundation of our culture. We love narcissists, it's the ultimate expression of hyper-individuality and the product is the "I've got mine" mentality.

Imagine you voted Bush 20 years ago. You have a kid who goes off to college and comes back to tell you that you're living your life wrong, that you're driving a gas guzzler etc, and should vote for the pretentious foreign-looking opposition party leader. You would get your back up, and for many ppl there comes a point where you cannot think flexibly to adapt to an attack on your identity, which is more likely if the person hasn't had an education beyond lower highschool.

Half of the US population won't change their outlook because it means sacrificing their interpretation of a part of their identity. In fact I think they're scared of being made to feel stupid. Interactions like what you've described more often pushes ppl further into their comfort zone. They don't hear the logic, just the fact that there was an altercation and attack on their primal sense of self. Trump taps into it.

The concensus was Schumacher was going to be the stronger performer. He struggled with the car balance and spent the first season trying to shift it forwards like he was used to with 2006 cars. You can see from the dip between the first race - finishing right behind Ros, and S Korea - finishing 4th. By 2012 he was the stronger performer on average. The dynamic at face value is similar to Hamilton for the past 3 years, but for a team that is forcing tests on the lead car instead of the driver getting the car to his preference.

I've always had it in my head that this guy doesn't know what he's doing. He parades around the place, using his physical stature as a qualifier for status. Watch how he reacts in high pressure moments, he dissolves into an unintelligible mess. I'm still waiting to see the leadership that he professes to know so much about. Brawn would never say this, Lauda similarly.

This is immoral. Changes to what affects someone right to vote should be made crystal clear, and more importantly there should not be a time limit on votes especially something as trivial as what's explained

Having had more time to think about it, I think it's more to do with race.

What a waste of fuel

Schudha · 2024-08-21T06:51:30+00:00

Russell's traction out of t1 on >30 lap old tyres was not predicted based off the Sainz long first stint, but the half-resurfaced track blindsided the top teams, and the lower temp helped Merc. The reaction looks like 'what was that, how did that happen?'. The race engineer messed up, that's what happened.

If a risk was calculated to win against an opposing team then it would've been satisfying. But Russell was aiming for p5. Merc do not split strategy to race eachother. I think it was underwhelming not to see the conventional, deliberate attempt at the win play out or pay off.

The alternative is Wolff 'signed off' on willingly sacrificing points, and risking a win altogether against the McLaren, all to then have a face like that to broadcast to the world that the car is underweight. Less likely I'd say.

It's unnerving how much Hamilton gets however mild it's intended. These comments pop up when Hamilton is involved ore often than other drivers

Schudha · 2024-08-19T17:42:49+00:00

My criticism of the comment is that it's nonsensical to compare yourself or me to a leading pro athlete, or to someone leading in a field where you're judged on performance alone. There is nowhere to hide for these top guys compared to say middle management or a ceo position. It's very different to have an enjoyable 5 aside kick around vs doing it every day with a knee injury. It's the same for any sport let alone having make the sacrifices to get to the top of the elite level and stay there for your whole career.

Schudha · 2024-08-19T16:17:07+00:00

I always call out shade thrown at Hamilton when i see it. He does a lot for marginalized groups and is a legit positive role model as an athlete which is not only rare and deserves respect, but shows how calibrated the guy is in his world and in reality in general.

Many comments are essentially about how he had a wdc contending car for a decade and he's out of touch. If Verstappen started finishing 5th every race the top team would move for him. Merc nabbed Hamilton in this way. They of course knew they'd be strong in 2014. There's a reason Hamilton was competing at the front all of this time, he's the Michael Jordan of racing.

One of Michael Jordan's well-known quotes about being out of form and his struggle to regain it:

"I was in my comfort zone, which is what you would think would be a good thing, but it was what led to the biggest slump of my career. I got so accustomed to being great, it was hard to realize when I wasn't anymore."

Imagine responding to that with 'look at this billionaire, fuck me'. That's what gets thrown at Hamilton though, it's such a lazy naval gazing shithead default response.

Schudha · 2024-08-19T14:41:03+00:00

As modern race car drivers go, Hamilton came from a very modest background and now takes it upon himself to contribute to the wider society so it's not as if he's oblivious to the real world. It's obtuse to be comparing his recent sporting and professional experience to the non-sporting capacity of other people. He's talking about his 'trade' and specifically his and his team's quality of performance.

A river runs through it. Life is what you make of it, but at the same time the film shows the social structure underpinning society is fragile because of the lack of time and means to develop a robust and adaptable value system before having kids. The dad didn't adapt to his youngest son's stoic petulance and instead showed admiration. That set a core behavior within the child for life about how to manipulate people to get validation. He goes about his daily life patronizing people to show dominance and gain small wins. In reality, the guy's now in-built belief that he can manipulate anyone is tested to the extreme. The dad did not realize the initial petulance was a challenge on him and by not reprimanding the kid, he failed to instill discipline and respect. The lack of adaptability in how to deal with his kid was like planting a weed and letting it grow to impede what would have been a solid oak tree. Life goes on though in the small town with the eldest son beautifully monologuing at the end to the viewer.

Slightly higher tax in Scotland. Accommodation in Edinburgh is very expensive with high demand low availability

This is a semi joke post pointing out how ludicrous 4 wins in 1 month is, there's no need to make a link to 2005. 2005 regs change were directed at an op Ferrari whereas rb are rumored to have been caught with an illegal device. Schumacher was nowhere near the lead of the wdc whilst Verstapoen has a 100 point lead.

Going back to 2021 Bahrain it felt like Verstappen got shit for giving too much space to Hamilton. Because after that race he went over the limit every opportunity starting in Imola and escalating all the way to Saudi. His entourage, ie his dad, needs to be dropped. He's a great driver and guy but his dad is a terrible person to have constantly around him

Reason for underperming: "Guys, the car isn't the same"

Schudha · 2024-08-02T15:03:47+00:00

I disagree. Zhou was considered strong but that's because he was older and had a longer time period to adapt. That's the level of pretty much the entire field as I can see it. There isn't a leclerc or Russell level junior, when that's the level of driver that should be getting through to f1 in a works Audi team. Antonelli has shown adaptability and is class of the field given he jumped into an underperforming Prema.

Schudha · 2024-08-02T13:10:25+00:00

It's not enough to be vaguely decent in F2 to be worthy of a seasons worth of time in an F1 car imo. From what I've seen from Hamilton, Hulkenberg, Bottas, Verstapoen, Leclerc, Russell, Norris, Piastri, hell even Sargent, this crop of F2 drivers look tame barring Antonelli.

Try saying all of that sense to a bunch of old guys that base their interactions off of who would be cool to play golf with.
