I get why people say this, but it's a terrible copout. If P1 is not truly up for grabs, the series has failed an absolutely crucial marker.

Could you DM me the Homepage link? I'm not finding it among generic results. Yes, I'm a wee bit dim.

Yes, his dad's a piece of shit, and sometimes I feel like Max lets the mask slip. He's very jokey-jokey when things go well, but I remember his shitty attacking, post-race petulance and running people off the track when he didn't quite have a winning car.

He can afford to have great wheel-to-wheel racing skills now that he's got the thick end of one second in his pocket over the other cars and his teammate is pottering around in P10.

Nobody complained about that, so I’m a bit surprised that this is popping up so much this season.

You're joking, lying, or you've no idea what you're on about. Plenty of people moaned plenty about Mercedes' crazy dominance. We moaned when they did an illegal tyre test, but got a slap on the wrist and kept the gains. We moaned when they just spent boatloads and threw money and people at the car. We moaned all the time. If the winner is completely predictable, barring breakdowns/crashes, it's a big black mark on a race. That's been the way even before Mercedes when Vettel was just smashing races weekend after weekend.

Leclerc has a massive aura that will take some time to fade if he keeps on making mistakes and having off weekends. Hopefully Sainz can just keep on showing his quality. I honestly think Leclerc has a higher ceiling than Sainz, but Sainz seems to be able to perform closer to his best at more races than Leclerc.

I mean, the thing they can do in real time is not routinely go off the track. And if that means fucking up a lap and going slow, then that driver has to accept that they can't drive quite as fast on this track. If they want to build a new track that's a couple feet wider on a few corners, go for it - but it wouldn't be the Redbull Ring. Here, in Austria, you have to go at a speed at which you can stay in between the white lines. Some managed it. No sympathy for those who didn't, it's either a choice or a skill issue, neither of which I mind penalising.

It's annoying, but Twitter is just a shit site to link to for news atm, hopefully journalists will begin using other means to get this kind of news out. Links just don't load for me, or the login-wall pops up, etc. etc.

Nice to have these pitfalls to avoid, thanks for the post.

Yep, being within a couple of seconds after the first handful of laps would be a surprise. It's a shame, but that's the way it is. I was surprised to see Leclerc behind Sainz yesterday. I think Sainz is undervalued and Leclerc overvalued, but I don't think I can support Sainz being a better driver. More consistent, perhaps, but I think Leclerc will have to be the one to mount a challenge to Verstappen from Ferrari. One day, if he can keep his spirits from being crushed.

Don't sweat it. You'd have to create a profile on each instance and then create all of the subs on each. And some have decent bot protection, so that is tougher. Then if they're not active and you want one, start/find it on your home instance and petition your home instance's admins for mod control. They'll probably see whats going on and cut that power(-crazy) user off.

It's not like Reddit where there's only one version of a community. It's a double-edged sword, this feature, but in your case it's a clear benefit.

Dark (or preferably amoled) mode is the way God intended apps to be viewed.

I hope your migraine passes soon mate

This must play a huge role. Given how Lemmy works, illegal content is actively being hosted on your server, that's a huge risk, surely. I wouldn't touch hosting porn on any server I owned or administered with a ten foot pole.
