Echt, ben al tien dagen bezig met Roller Coaster Tycoon Classic.
Er loopt zelfs een Tim Hinse rond die zegt: "Wow, er wordt een nieuwe attractie gebouwd" 🤣 Helaas heeft die geen microfoon in zijn handen 😁

Er loopt ook een Paul Sprangers rond, maar die wil geen 20 cent betalen voor de toiletten 😂

Like no one ever has taken advantage of a tow before in the history of F1 🤷‍♂️ And electronics? Like all the teams have?

Don't you think you are overreacting? What are you basing all this on?

All of Max Verstappen's wins this season have seen both McLaren drivers also on the podium.

That means every time Max wins, McLaren has scored exactly 33 points.

33 Max Verstappen. Hit the music.

"His legacy showed that Formula 1 doesn't just belong to the bravest overtaker or the fastest one lap wonder. Sometimes the deadliest weapon is the ability to think 20 laps ahead and deliver it with machine-like precision."

"The irony is brilliant. Rulemakers tried to encourage excitement, but instead the system favored professors. The rest of the grid often felt like stressed students desperately trying to pass Prost's endless exam."

‘Zero contribution’ – Why was Red Bull team boss Laurent Mekies so modest after Monza F1 win?

‘Zero contribution’ – Why was Red Bull team boss Laurent Mekies so modest after Monza F1 win?

After the Italian GP, Laurent Mekies claimed his contribution to Max Verstappen’s victory had been “zero”. But what does this modesty say – and what did he actually accomplish behind the scenes?
