lol yeah right, I remember they made similar claims about the Valkyrie and that turned out to be complete bullshit.

That's because the Valkyrie is meant to rival LMH cars, not F1 cars. The real disappointment is the McLaren Solus GT which is only as fast as LMP2 car.

Also, I want to see Max drive the RB17 before I judge its pace. A bad driver can make even the fastest cars look slow.

That came later, initially they really said it was going to be faster than an F1 car, then started massively walking that back as development progressed because it was all obviously PR bullshit meant to grab headlines and in reality it ended up being several seconds slower than a GTE car (which to be fair is still pretty impressive for a road car).

Thanks to Gabe Newell of all people, Aston Martin is entering the Valkyrie in LMH next year but its a full blown prototype based on the track only AMR Pro version, which only has the engine and headlights in common with the roadgoing Valkyrie.
 
Kevin’s out of a seat for next year, presumably so Haas can sign the most punchable French faggot on the grid.

Assuming he won’t find another F1 seat, I’d love to see him at least test the Valkyrie hypercar. I could appreciate another Dane Train moment, and would love to see how his.. sensibilities would play out against an oddball like Nicki Thiim in a shared car.

Probably going to go for 2 juniors again or some shit. They can't decide if they want to be contesting in the mid pack or playing the conveyor game for juniors coming though.

Haas have repotedly failed to pay Uralkali on a court order that was made regarding the post Ukraine termination of the deal so they could just be shit outta cash to pay people like KMag and need a pay driver.

Or they're doing the patriotic thing and saving the career of the token grid yank. Claim back the designated shitting car from Williams.
 
Williams have repotedly asked Alpine to release Ocon early to replace Logan mid season. Interesting of true, also will be interesting to see how Alpine react as surely having him gone is a benefit given the frosty relationship.

But then it is also being reported he's off to Haas which he wouldn't go williams for just half a season then off to Haas. Unless they really are desperate to get Logan gone.

If he doesn't get a seat in F1 for next season, I'd like to see him in the WEC. He's very enjoyable to watch on the race track, would be sad to see him disappear.
 
Red Bull have repotedly protested a brake duct element on the mclaren cars.

Social media is being entirely reasonable and understanding that this is how the sport works and has for years, oh wait no they're not.
 
ESPN put out a top 100 professional athletes since 2000 list.

The only other motorsports driver on the list was Jimmie Johnson at 47. The previous time ESPN did a list for the 20th century, AJ Foyt, Richard Petty, and Andretti made the list (in descending order of rankings).

ESPN is broadly watched by niggers and 105 IQ tards who peaked in high school, no surprise there.

I checked the list and it very specifically is aimed at those who think apehoop is the peak of all sports, when all you actually need to be good at is be tall.

Did you notice the co star in the new F1 movie is of course a rape ape? Meanwhile, here in the real world, theres been 2 black open wheel drivers ever: choco Senna and Willy T Ribbs who as I recall acted a great deal like that NAPCAR nigger with the fake hanging scare.

That is to be expected, it's a hollywood production after all. However, the thing that annoyed me in that list is that there's no Sebastien Loëb or Tom Kristensen in there in spite of these two being about as dominant as a racing driver can get in their niche.

Unless its F1 or NASCAR, ESPN acts as if it doesn't exist.

No Montoya, even though his CART run was dominant.

Hell, ESPN barely mentioned Nascar when they aired it.

No Dixon, no Jeff Gordon (though he suffers in this particular format from his best years straddling the millenium), No JPM, as you say.

It's worth noting that ABC/ESPN did CART when that last list was made. oh ho hooooooooooooooo.
