[Krandor]

And then absolutely blowing it with that horrendous pit stop

"Checo is good for selling a lot of cans of Red Bull, both in North America and Latin America. He brings a lot of sponsorship money to the team and that is important, even at this time in F1 with a budget cap. Almost 65% of all online Red Bull F1 merchandise is sold to Mexico."

I mean..... damn.

Third world fans go crazy for anyone that represents them on an international stage. You also saw it with Filipinos and Pacquiao, in any esport, etc.

Grats to Jamie Chadwick from pole to win in Indy NXT.

Yes, but it's actually unbelievable that they trump the global population.

And Argentinians. Augustin Canapino got told to sit out this weekend's IndyCar race from the Theo Pourchaire social media death threat frenzy that has happened over the last week.

Fucking shit the safety car screwed lando

[Krandor]

Are they just gonna leave Sargeant's car there the whole race?

Seems like they haven't even touched it yet

[Gredival]

Being the best gets you a few bandwagoners that only last so long as your dominance does. Catering to tribalism gets you the undying loyalty of the home crowd. And that undying loyalty also translates into more consumerism.

It was something brands conveyed when they expressed which players they wanted us to sign at EG. The quality of the marketing we put out is one thing, but the fanaticism of the target audience is another.

Obligatory, i knew i was on hopium

That was a wildly enjoyable race, variable weather conditions spice up Formula 1 so nicely

And Russell being an agent of chaos constantly keeping the top 5 in flux

I love the Canadian GP. It produces something fun almost every year. Def one of the events I'd like to visit one day. Ferrari and Checo being out of place also helped make for an entertaining afternoon.

I am just FEASTING in sports between f1 and hockey lately.

Random wild possibility happening in my mind. Considering RBR loves to demote/promote drivers, and considering Checo’s and Yuki’s contract extensions, any thought of seeing Checo and Yuki swapped?

Love to see it tbh.

[Zetanio]

Checo is a fucking terrorist.

Ferrari are clowns.

[Zetanio]

Terrific race though. One of the best of the season by a mile.

Lest we forget. Checo levied a 3-place grid drop in the next GP and RBR fined 25k Euros for driving in an unsafe condition.... that was eventually a yellow flag about 20 seconds later due to the Sainz/Albon incident in the same corner.

[Zetanio]

do grid drops apply if you wreck? can he finish 21st?

Start 22nd? idk that Kick/Stake Sauber is def a piece of shit that Seargeant is usually starting 16th-18th nowadays.
