Then just watch the race. It really is that simple. It’s interesting how Kim Kardashian, who’s attended all of two races this year, becomes an issue, yet drivers’ girlfriends and wives are in the paddock practically every weekend. Nobody is forcing you to pay attention to Kim, and her presence has absolutely no effect on what happens on track. If you’re genuinely there for the racing, then focus on the racing
@timwido@Gro2811 Or perhaps you could read my comments in context instead of deliberately misinterpreting them. The fact that I had to spell out such a simple distinction for you doesn’t mean I was unclear. It means you were too busy arguing semantics to understand the actual point
@timwido@Gro2811 He may not have singled Kim out by introducing her into the conversation, but he absolutely singled her out in the criticism that followed, particularly when complaining about the attention cameras gave her, as if that’s somehow her fault
@timwido@Gro2811 How is that dishonest? I never said anything dishonest. I gave my opinion on his comments about Kim. He may not have been the one to bring her up, but that doesn’t make his remarks afterward any less unnecessary, which was the entire point of my response
My point is that he could’ve answered the question briefly without turning it into unnecessary criticism of the attention she receives. Celebrities have been apart of F1 since I can remember. And this wasn’t even his only unnecessary remark. He also made a pretty disgusting comment about Franco Colapinto’s nationality
Jeremy Clarkson’s comments about Franco’s nationality were completely unacceptable. There is no place for remarks like this in Formula 1, regardless of who makes them or whether they are intended as a joke.
We have worked hard to promote respect and put an end to hostility and abuse. That respect must go both ways. We cannot ask anyone to behave responsibly while accepting comments like these from prominent figures visiting our sport.
Franco and his supporters deserve better than this. Let’s not allow this to undo the progress we’ve made and rise above malicious comments.
Hello @fia are you going to condemn this? Our country has shown some idiotic fans and we’ve been warned enough for them. Now shift the focus to these people who also pronounce racist and xenophobic comments like this. We won’t tolerate them.
You are incredibly dense. He literally singled Kim out by name. What part of that are you struggling to comprehend? If his issue is with celebrities in general, then he should say that instead of specifically targeting her. And mind you, celebrities have been attending F1 races and appearing on grid walks for decades. This isn’t some new phenomenon that started this year. If seeing a celebrity at a sporting event bothers you this much, perhaps you should just stop watching sports altogether, because it happens in every fucking sport
Correction: You have no sources to back up your argument, so you’re pretending it’s beneath you to go looking for them. If it’s been discussed so extensively, finding a credible source shouldn’t be this difficult. But apparently, throwing insults is easier than providing evidence. God, you’re genuinely an annoying idiot
@Gro2811 Are you genuinely that ignorant, or is reading comprehension just not your strong suit? He literally said, “Why do I care about Kim Kardashian?” He specifically singled her out by name. I’m not sure how much clearer that could possibly be.
Of course it’s an opinion piece. When did I ever claim otherwise? I said the evidence points toward brake temperatures being a contributing factor, not that they were definitively the cause. And yes, I’m going to give more weight to the analysis of technical experts and people who actually understand the engineering than some random person on Twitter named Rita. Your explanation is a theory too. Nothing about the exact cause has been publicly confirmed by Ferrari, Formula 1, or Brembo. If it has, feel free to provide the official findings. But we both know you can’t
I genuinely think Santi gets more hate than he deserves sometimes, but come on. Lewis asked a very straightforward question: how much time did he lose in the final corner? And Santi responds by telling him he did the same lap time as Charles

🎧| Santi : We are P5.
🎧| Lewis : These guys must be turning up fro that last Q3, because where did that time go.
🎧| Santi : Antonelli P1 is 3 tenths faster than us (gives order down to Charles), 50 milliseconds between us and (Charles), and to Antonelli we lost basically 1 tenth first sector.
🎧| Lewis : So we're P6?
🎧| Santi : 5. Behind us Russell and two McLaren.
🎧| Lewis : How much did I lose last corner?
🎧| Santi : We did same lap time of Charles.

Lewis has been off the pace all weekend. We saw that yesterday when he was six tenths behind Leclerc in practice. The team did a hell of a job getting Lewis back to where he needed to be today, and credit where it’s due. But even with that improvement, it was clear he still didn’t have the outright pace to be the quickest this weekend. Every time he put together a competitive lap, someone else would go out and find more time. It’s disappointing because I genuinely think P3 or P4 was achievable, but there’s no point dwelling on it now. The focus shifts to tomorrow. Pole was never realistically on the cards for Lewis this weekend anyway
