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'm all for women in motorsports as long as those women aren't Danica Patrick.
Please stop being a part of F1 Danica. Thank you.
Had a look at her Instagram after that story and holy smoke, she has completely lost it.
I was fortunate to miss her first couple appearances on an F1 broadcast but apparently she's now part of the F1TV crew occasionally, just like James Hinchcliffe.
She's so out of touch with the sport that the questions and comments she make sound extremely awkward and out of place. I will literally mute the TV when she's on, or fast forward if I'm watching a recording.
Give me more strategists in the comm box and F1 academy drivers joining the broadcast and I'll be happy. Danica is like my F1 kryptonite.
Essentially give me more Sam Collins
He's hit and miss for me. I think sometimes he tries too hard to bring energy or excitement to regular F1 news and it takes the fluidity out of his presentations. Other times he's clearly deeply interested in the subject matter and it shows through in the well thought out talking points.
For me it's -
Race day Sam Collins, yes!
F1TV presenter Sam Collins, maybe?
Jennsen has to make Jim from the Office faces at the camera when he's with her.
