Well, the blue IS at the arse-end of the car.

If it turns out they were going red, white and blue for the American/Brit audience, I think a million Italian people are about to have an aneurysm. 🤣

The plethora of sponsor logos is an unfortunate part of Formula 1, but it’s that guano-esque stripe for the HP logo and the horrid blue IBM logo on the back of the rear wing that makes the whole thing look cartoonish.

You are 100% correct. For a team that’s run a livery that has basically never changed for 75 years, you’d think they’d be better at incorporating the HP logo in a way other than that godawful white stripe.

Agreed. That being said, consider me (mostly) placated, if they DO bring the screaming V10s back.

Please give me some more vault space. I beg of you.

Right back at you, brains-for-hire.

I’m more inclined to believe they would’ve blackmailed the FIA, as they’ve done repeatedly over the years.

I actually am, given I’m from the subcontinent. My snippet on the US was because it’s the most well-known example of rationalisation of racism. I read what you wrote, and wasn’t contradicting you. I was emphasising your point.

There’s a LOT of history behind the use of the “N-word” in the US, and yet we’re at the time when we KNOW that’s not a word to use in any context. There’s no justification for this sort of behaviour : not societal norms, nor intent… nothing can explain away the fact that he used a racist term.

I don’t know a word of Dutch, and yet it’s patently clear to me that the term stems from a derogatory view of East-Asian people. The fact that Dutch youngsters use it that freely is a failure of adults to teach them to respect other cultures and ignore colonial stereotypes.

Are you honestly implying that word doesn’t have racist origins? Quick tip : if you ever find yourself using the words ‘racist’ and ‘but’ in the same sentence, consider not enunciating it.

YUP. The FIA and Red Bull brushed it under the carpet as quickly as they could because, you know, he’s Max. Quite astonishing, really, the contrasting ways that Red Bull dealt with him and Helmut Marko (re: Perez), and how they handled Juri Vips. www.espn.co.uk/f1/story/_/i...

Nah. Racism is “one-strike-and-you’re-out” for me, and his “mongoloid” comment is all I needed to know what kind of character he is.
