You’d think the fuckwits would refer to themselves as the second world but they lack even that amount of self-awareness.

So, you have two prototypes, and the Vanthoor, Van der Linde, and Taylor brothers. But only one from each family in each car. Which drivers do you choose for either car?

Frankly, I'd rather watch the film the "Blofeld has his cat that he loves" moment comes from than the two and a half hours around this scene.

surely if you’re doing a race-themed wedding during a grid walk, you should be waving green flags and not checkered flags #IMSA

Federal agents aren’t trying to keep the peace. They want violence to escalate so that Trump can declare martial law.

They shot a reverend in the head with pepper balls while he was praying in front of an ICE facility. If that doesn’t tell you where we are as a country, nothing will.

F1 drivers being resistant to cool suits is crazy to me. We had a cool shirt setup in the Golf and it was amazing when racing on a 90-degree day in 60% humidity.
