F1 is pretty boring lately but this is pretty incredible. Safety factor is real. My mind just can't over walking away from that.

A lot of the F1 drivers are livid that the replays were going on during the red flag... They say the fuel cell was still in tack and that was the fuel in the lines and hydraulic oil the caught fire.

Id imagine it was more that just E burning at that point. Fuel, oil, brake plenty of juices to light up.

A lot of talks about the halo now. Seemed to work, he got out and without it id only imagine he'd be a little shorter.

Might look goofy but I'm sure it saved his ass

To walk away from that with only a couple broken ribs is a miracle. Don’t agree with OP though, it’s been a pretty exciting season.
Yep. Last weeks race in the wet was nice to see Lewis Hamilton struggle for a while.

Turbo era has been the most boring racing ever seen... Cornering speeds are incredible but I’ll take the V10/V8 era hands down over this garbage. Ive never fallen alseep before until this era during a race...
I remember waking up to watch Schumacher at 3am in Suzuka... never now!!
Williams with Montoya almost winning races, Mercedes with Mika, Eddie Irvine...
Fuel economy and lack of refueling has killed this sport. I have yet to miss a race since 1993....

Oh and sorry Hamilton’s Black Lives Matter on his helmet is pure garbage

Carry on

Pro soccer players might be talented, but they are total pussies. Obvious acting, which makes them bigger pussies.

Imagine, drivers actually had to SHIFT those glorious V12s and V10s...

That was the second scariest crash I saw this year.
The big crash during the Austrian MotoGP race scared the hell out of me...

If charged with flopping, opponents should get 12 seconds to kick the living hell out of the flopper. You would see guys get up and run with their leg broken.

Hockey players take dives just as bad as soccer players. Still to this day, I just cannot understand the World's fascination with soccer

The only equipment you really need is a ball so it's great for really poor people. Participation in the game really only requires the physical ability to kinda run around and kick the ball that's why it's so popular with 5 year-olds. Other sports require equipment that must be bought and athletic abilities that must be learned. Soccer is maybe half a step more advanced than a game of tag.
