Tayls Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 4 hours ago, MaVilla said: i find it quite funny, that a showcase of the best racing car manufacturers in the world in Formula 1 (inc. engine manufacturers etc), ie: Mercedes, Ferrari, McClaren, Aston Martin, Renault, Lotus etc, and the team at the cutting edge is a high sugar energy drinks company. Does nobody see the comical nature in this?, or am i just mad? Its like having thoroughbred horse racing, to showcase the absolute best of breeding and lineage in the horsing world, but the no.1 competitor is actually a glutinous 3ft tall pig which is overshadowing the thoroughbred steeds...... Well, it’s Honda, who aren’t exactly slouches when it comes to manufacturing quality engines and vehicles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted April 25, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted April 25, 2022 (edited) And Red Bull haven't been just an Energy Drink company for at least 20 years. It's a bit like saying Virgin is just a record company Edited April 25, 2022 by Stevo985 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not just put the track down there? Mental stuff EDIT: I've done a Google maps search of "marinas" in Miami - 18 results returned.

But in all seriousness, absolutely zero punishment for a mistake on a corner like that. You've run wide? Oh what a shame you've lost two tenths.

Fair enough, I think there’s a compromise with the speed pumps they sometimes put in place. I’m not a fan of gravel if there’s space for large run off but I agree there needs to be some deterrent for going onto it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparrow1988 Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Just came across the reason Max is a grade A twunt. Turns out it's Jos that is the reason. A man getting angry with his son for making a mistake in karting. The same man who drove off with the fuel line attached to his car in 1996, two years after being engulfed in flames at a pit-stop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
