It lacks the massive audience to bear non-nerd communities. The formula1 subs are not a patch on reddit, nor are the outdoorsy, camping and flashlight communities.

Dude, do 2 minutes of your own research literally wherever you normally get your F1 news from

This article is not about the US (for once).

Me neither

This was a really fun and high-effort post, thanks!

You may well be right. I guess Tsuonda and Lawson would probably fare no better fundamentally and lack Perez's experience, but an on-form Ricciardo is a juicy prospect, surely?

I agree he put in a strong race, but I suspect his goose is cooked at this point. It's surely too late when you've got Ric, Law and Tsu all waiting eagerly in the wings.

You need to be less online if this is how it affects you. None of this is healthy.

I don't know whether it ever was, but it definitely got co-opted by racists as a slur in the UK. A pretty bad one too, I gather. Whether it's been reclaimed, I couldn't say. Personally, I'd steer very well clear of it.

Hey, my widdle Thor and Fang are great with (what's left of the) kids.

Condescension is a terrible way to kindle enthusiasm. C'mon, if you know this shit, extend a hand to those who don't.

Uff, tsunoda is better than he used to be, hut he doesn't look like he's got much more potential to give, unfortunately.

Fuck tankie devs, support your instance.

Yes, I agree. I suspect the person you were replying to made a comment born of general frustration with car trends. Apples to apples, sure motors are more efficient. But the fact is my car from 2009 uses 4-15 l/100 km and my mother in-law's fucking VW Tiguan from last year uses 9-11 l/100 km. It's absurd, this single woman driving a genuinely huge SUV. Her kids are grown up and gone her husband is gone. She cannot use that much vehicle.

Sometimes she complains about how difficult it is to park. My partner will humor her a bit, but I cannot refrain from pointing out that she could have bought (leased actually, but that's another problem) a hatchback.

Aaaallll that to say, yes, you're right, technically. And if we look at the current fleet, I think you're right. But there is a worrying trend of worsening fuel consumption among a segment of the market that is growing, fast, so the previous commenter is also right from anotger perspective.

My friend is a bit slow on thr uptake. What do you mean?

See the bullet points in the executive summary of the study linked from this article. They are all illuminating, but I've extracted three just for ease of reading:

• Average CO2 emissions per kilometre (gCO2/km) from new internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles are no longer falling at the UK and London levels; and they are rising in urban areas where large sports utility vehicles (SUVs) are most popular, such as Kensington & Chelsea.
• The annual reduction in the average CO2 emissions of new cars sold in the UK is now exclusively attributable to the rapidly growing market share of electric vehicles (EVs), and EV sales are expected to be the main source of future CO2 reductions from now on.
• The recent trend towards larger, heavier, more powerful cars such as SUVs means that on average, a car that was bought new in 2013 is likely to have lower CO2 emissions than a new ICE car bought in 2023.

(Edit to add: I've tried my damnedest to format those bullet points, but I cannot get them to separate nicely, please just ignore those asterisks.)

Lol. Lmao, even. That, in itself, is not a nazi comment.

Such a clear attempt to stop or totally derail conversation. I've taken to just blocking these accounts, but that's only good for me, not the wider community.
