Gotta admit I was quite partial to the Delta Integrale and the Miki Biasion / Markku Alen / Juha Kankkunen crowd myself... ok, also driven by Sainz at some point. Also I'm pretty sure that photo was taken in the Fafe stage, which is like 15 mins from where I'm currently living... 😶

PSA re F1 fans: the rules, as stupid as they might be, should apply to all drivers on track, independently from your profile picture / banner / profile blurb. It sucks, but that's the principle: sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug.
Filipe M. (@macfilipe.bsky.social) reply parent
... no power... no power... I feel somethingaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Filipe M. (@macfilipe.bsky.social) reply parent
And yet, by the same rulebook, Sainz was never alongside Lawson's front wing, hence the 10 sec penalty for causing a collision. I'm not saying I agree with that rule, but it's one, and if applied consistently we wouldn't be mad at the stewards every single race...
Filipe M. (@macfilipe.bsky.social) reply parent
Tried to Max it, ran out of talent and grip...
Filipe M. (@macfilipe.bsky.social) reply parent
As for the right hander, the same rules claim the car in front needs to leave space it the car on the outside is *ahead*, which Charles wasn't. This will either be a racing incident, or Leclerc gets a (moot now) penalty.
Filipe M. (@macfilipe.bsky.social) reply parent
You cannot cause yourself damage if there isn't an obstacle to crash into, so no. As to "you leave space", the (silly? sure) rules claim you leave space if the front wheels of the overtaking car are level with the mirrors -- which they only were because Charles came at him from outside the track.
Filipe M. (@macfilipe.bsky.social) reply parent
Watching the replay, Charles seems to be half alongside into the right hander (braking much later), and as Russel turns left he just lets the car drift to the run off. Front right is fully out, rear right is unclear, but when he barges into Russell his front end is out of the track.
Filipe M. (@macfilipe.bsky.social) reply parent
"Do something, ask Nelson, shit, sorry, Lance to crash or whatever".
Filipe M. (@macfilipe.bsky.social) reply parent
Probably because Leclerc decided that the run-off area would be an excellent launchpad into Russell's sidepod?... Quite spectacular to watch, but not sure that was entirely within spec.

... which is why, in my view, freedom *of* religion should automatically confer freedom *from* religion. If I can choose which one to follow, will all the government protections, I should be able to choose to follow none, and have none imposed on me, whether directly or by politicians' beliefs.

Why the Trump/MAGA/GOP assault on facts? Because facts contradict every ideological policy they're trying to impose. Yes, #climate change is real. #Vaccines are effective and safe. It's the #guns. Trump economics is destroying jobs and the economy. Facts are powerful weapons against fascism.

When a black man gets shot by a police officer in any circumstance, "he didn't comply". When a white woman doesn't comply to repeated requests to stand down *and then* gets shot by a police officer (we all saw it, no argument there), she gets the hero treatment. Sounds about white.
