For serious, though, I pointed out after Austin last year that cutting across the entire track at the first turn of the first lap is awful racecraft from Sainz, and got shouted down by Russell-haters.

Are we checking? This is a place to take a p*ss out of motorsports.
F1 is not the only motorsport in the world, so go ahead and post your shitposts about WEC or MotoGP or IndyCar or ralley or Polish Speedway or whatever. Even Formula E, I guess. It needs some love, too.
By the way, F2 > F1.
Rules? What rules? Stop inventing. Just don't be a douche. Lemmy.world's sporting conduct applies.

I agree with all that and it did leave a bad taste in my mouth too for about a year, but it's been a long time, the drivers have moved on, and he's been really respectful since then. Just feels weird to me to hold a grudge for years and years over something that the drivers stopped caring about. I'm not defending him in the moment but I can't pretend to understand the stresses the drivers are under and try to forgive drivers for one off outbursts. If it's a constant thing then I definitely get annoyed with them.
