This supports my theory, that not everyone who didn't succeeded in the F1 is a human reject good for nothing. I am not going to write an essay who is/was more clumsy between Latifi now, or Ericsson then, but I am glad this fellow reconfirms, if you fail, try and try again, and it will (probably) pay. Congrats! (Transplants seems to do well on that side of the pond.)Marcus Ericsson won the Indianapolis 500, collecting a $3.1-Million prize, while simultaneously brushing off the pay driver label, as his post Formula 1 career boomed.
Sounds a lot like Hammy fans explaining away another defeat.

End of the month - that probably impacts the quality of the fuel in your kart alone.White six wrote: ↑1 year ago Anyone remember what this video is .... Was either pironi in a ligier or arnoux in the Renault, documentary style. What I particularly wanted was the shots of the drivers feet dancing across the pedals, incredibly quickly. Was just going to show my daughter
Btw she beat me at karting today by over 3 seconds FFS. My excuses are it was 2nd time for her, 1st for me, one of my contact lenses fell out, and I have a bad cold. Probably chalk it down as a victory when I think about it

What was the weather? Hot? Cold? Nice and mild? None of that helps the tyres either.
Also a Tuesday. An ill omen. You were lucky to survive, actually. Just a sign of the immense skill!
If his contact lens fell out you'd have to admit defeat to them. Depth perception and all thatMichael Ferner wrote: ↑1 year ago No, seriously, you should listen in to some of those Hammy fan folks plying their trade - according to them, Lewis is DESTROYING Russell!
Here's how it goes, in a nutshell:
- whenever LH is ahead in the race, he scores over GR (hasn't happened too often, though)
- whenever LH is ahead in qualifying, he also scores regardless of race performance
It gets tricky if GR is ahead in both qualifiyng and race, but here's where the real Hammy fan excels:
- at one race (can't remember which), LH was said to have carried a few extra sensors for data logging, and thus he gets the credit because "his car was heavier than Russell's" No shit, they really said that!
- at another race, they simply pick out a random sequence of laps where LH was faster than GR - "oh, we don't care the race went over 50 laps, in those twenty laps LH *destroyed* GR"
- and best of all, one prime Hammy fan scored Monaco for LH because "Lewis was never good at Monaco, so for him to finish only three places behind Russell means he actually performed better, and thus beat him"

You are actually bringing up a good point. The fandoms are getting out of control. To the point where it's painful for me to read other social media accounts. It's not the actual feed, but the comments. The fans are just arguing back and forth, tossing insults and there is ZERO information in it. I've started to avoid most F1 social media because of it. Can't stand the fans of any of the top drivers anymore (even the drivers I am a fan of). They are just a bunch of whiny and insulting assholes.MonteCristo wrote: ↑1 year ago

One of the reasons I stopped following F1 in the early noughts was that, here in Germany at least, the Schumacher era had brought in lots of what I call "football fans". Explanation is, in my view "football fans" are not really fans of football, they are mostly fans of one or two (or three etc.) clubs. If there's a match going on between the two best football teams in the world, "football fans" will never watch it if "their" club is playing at the same time - they always prefer watching "their club" over enjoying a good match, i.e. it's more important to them to support a club than to follow the sport as such. Same with the Schumacher fans, and I suppose with the Mansell fans in Britain a short while before: those were not really fans of motorsport, or even of F1 only, they were there to support their "hero", and nothing else.XcraigX wrote: ↑1 year agoYou are actually bringing up a good point.

At least it's a bit more respectful here at the Fastlane. That's why I keep coming back.
