I totally agree, I was just making a joke because our or french friends are quite something when it comes to strikes and protest.
Good. Do it. They deserve healthcare and reasonable wages.
As my nephew would say, “hhnnnngh!!!”
I was in Vegas last month. Uber/Lyft drivers are fed up too. One driver told me that he used to meet his goals by 11am. Because of F1 construction traffic, now he’s driving an extra 10-15 hours per day to meet those same goals. He’s gonna be out of town this F1 month, visiting a friend in another state to consider moving there.
Life is becoming worse for the residents, while the casinos get richer.
Can’t he just take the bus? SMH my head
AWS reInvent starts in three. Amazon doesn’t want any of their employees to be exposed to unions.
35k workers on strike? That’s like a monday in France.
Absolutely love Formula 1, been a fan for 30 years, find the whole cutting edge technology and it’s public applications fascinating…
…but yeah lol fuck the circus. Formula 1 has gone from pure greed on the organisation front to unadulterated morally bankrupt and taking-the-piss greed. Saudi, Qatar, Bahrain, Abu Dhabi… yeah nah fuck that noise, a bit of fire under Liberty Media’s chair would do them good.
It runs the risk of fucking the Vegas fanbase off 2005-stylez, but hey it can’t have been too terrible if there’s now three US races on the calendar.
I find the fact that the racing fuel used contains lead to be absolute insanity. We know there are zero safe limits but car go faster so oh well, fuck every community around a race track i guess.
Yea, no. F1 cars don’t use leaded fuel.
“Zero safe limits” has a lot to do with the scale. While it can’t be good for those in attendance, between the relative infrequency of races, limited number of cars on the field, and general use of batteries even in the ICE leagues (let alone caring about emissions for efficiency purposes), it is probably perfectly fine. Or, more pointedly, all the OTHER emissions are likely a much bigger concern.
Also, the number of safety and societal dangers of F1 go WELL beyond just dangerous fuel. Like, I enjoy watching the occasional race. But holy shit does F1 make pro wrestling look “not THAT bad…”
Yes the attendees are probably ‘mostly okay’ but the race track gets used all the time, in between races people practice on the track and there are smaller events. I do not believe that all that extra lead just magically goes away or becomes safe; we know for a fact that it doesn’t and it’s permanently toxic. And the only reason it’s being dumped into the atmosphere is car-go-faster. Fuck racing sports on that one point alone.
I agree, this GP need to be a catastrophe, it’s time Stefano get a reality check.
