actually, that interviewer should have asked lando if he had vales posters in his room growing up and whether valentino has seen them to make sure they were real
@denkmit I think it also brings up a whole other issue too of grooming into sex work. So many cases of teen girls being groomed to join OF the second they turn 18. Would rather not see this expand into Motorsport and I fear the normalisation of OF in the paddock may lead to it.
@denkmit I totally agree.
I also agree more because there's some Australian female motorsport athletes with OF as personal sponsors and Ive seen how negative it's been for public opinion of women in motorsport here.
Came across a theory that AI is starting to make more mistakes cause the internet is increasingly polluted with AI slop. The idea of AI cannibalising itself into obscurity is one of my favourite things ever. I just hope it’s true and I hope it becomes impossible to fix.
That marshal was clearly a Dorna stooge planted to help Marquez win. Typical Spanish trick to help their favoured child.
I know all this because I've read the internet.
@denkmit Probably explains the Marshall mess up if he's Aussie — unless they're doing training at the track there, he won't have received any training. Marshall's in Aus are thrown in the deep end.
@NikiKovacs I think the punishment fits the crime. I think lots of people are being high and mighty about how they would act in the same situation, and wrongfully so. But I also think Aprilia themselves need to take action as well, which I doubt unfortunately, but I hope for.
@mhillofficial@denkmit I am curious, how do you know he didn't apologise? Everyone's saying he hasn't apologised, and maybe he hasn't, but as far as I'm aware he also could have? Just wondering if it's genuinely known he's not apologised or if people are assuming because he hasn't done so publicly.
As someone who marshalled for years, I think this is a brilliant idea.
It teaches him to respect the job, gives him an opportunity learn.
For those concerned about safety of going out with no training — in Australia there is no prior training for Marshalls. He'll be right.
@denkmit@Small_Mack69 You're correct, no real accommodation and what is there will be designated for staff. Almost all fans will have to drive from Adelaide daily to attend.
@prings64@denkmit I mean, there's a million things that you can do at home that isn't social media if you don't have parents or siblings to take you outside to the park or whatever.
