Both drivers are vehemently blaming each other. Fans, both drivers, and Team Principle Toto Wolff are pissed off and beside themselves.
Juicy context
Both drivers involved are fighting (now literally) for the most coveted seat next year: at consecutive 7-time World Champion Mercedes-AMG. Underperformer Valtteri Bottas might get fired (his contract expires this year), would get replaced by George Russell, whose current Williams car is a shitbox.
Bottas is in 9th — which it should never be, given that it's by far best car on the grid — and overperfomer Russel is somehow behind him in a backmarker Williams.
RUS goes for the overtake to the right, BOT moves slightly to the right, RUS overcompensates by going into the grass, spinning the car.
Bottas would have been killed had it not been for the newly-implemented "halo," as Russell's tires and wing spun directly into into Bottas's face. At 200 miles per hour. See: this video frame
I can't say this on the f1 sub but fuck yes Georgie needs that seat. Bottas has done nothing with it. Also I can't see a Finn being the second bitch after hakkinen or raikonnen
I can’t help but feel like people like that have had abusive childhoods. It’s the social equivalent of smearing faeces on the walls. Intentionally doing things that are weird and unpleasant for everyone involved just to provoke (justified) negative attention.
I appreciate the conversion into Burger Units, because I have no idea what to make of those Euro moon miles. 295 of them an hour, huh? Why not 500? Or 50,000? The fuck's the difference?

Now they're both vehemently blaming each other for the accident. George Russell is 🏴☠️/Formula1's fave. Given his rash reaction, he might have just lost the dream of becoming an F1 Driver. Mercedes Chief Principle (think football manager for F1) Toto Wolff is furious, called George an idiot: "That is bullshit. The whole situation is absolutely not amusing for us. I am going to speak to George and make my point."
IT'S OVER for George Russell. Toto also joked that he's "closer to putting Russell the Formula Renault Cup than a Mercedes F1 Car"
This is why you should watch F1.

looks a lot to my untrained eye like the blue guy just plain got angry and swerved directly into the black guy, Burnout Paradise style, out of spite
also your summary is more confusing and unclear than i think you realize. i still dont know what the fuck is going on
edit: ok well fuck you too op
edit2: i'll remember this you wifebeater-loving freak

What
1 -Kite-Man- 2021-04-19
oh I've never actually read past the 9th letter of your name and assumed it was capeshit related. also someone insta downvoted me i assumed was you.
still though, you just made an enemy for life
1 JanetYellensFuckboy 2021-04-19
Yeah miss me with that downvote shit. I love the feature but will never use it because that's something a Redditor would do

Thanks but no thanks, I don't care about Hamilton winning the 32nd title of his career in another boring race.
2 JanetYellensFuckboy 2021-04-19
There's a huge chance it's Max this year. Red Bull's car significantly improved while the Merc was nerfed by new FIA regs.
2 JeanPeuplu 2021-04-19
So Verstappen is the next Hamilton is what you're saying? Sounds thrilling.
2 JanetYellensFuckboy 2021-04-19
Looks like it's a legit 50/50 battle this year.
2 SnappyIsMyWaifu 2021-04-19
So you're saying it might actually be a race this year? Fascinating

I rewatched Rush recently. Didn't think they could make F1 emotional but that ending is a tearjerker.

I guess he shit himself too.

Damn, snappy. Your intuition in the first sentence is actually correct.

Are you a DTS fan who’s in it for the shitty, drummed up drama and not actual racing/engineering?

You're welcome, sweaty 😘

for ease of conversion. if you prefer smaller numbers, you could call it 29.5 megameters an hour.
or 2950 hectometers if you want to go the other way with it.
this way we don't end up measuring velocity in barleycorns per hour. or twips, spindels, shackles and gunter's chains.
don't you own a computer? you should already know metric conversions just based on file size.
