I agree but Max winning the championship off a major assist by Tsunoda after eight months of Yuki doing nothing is probably more valuable than had Lawson found his footing and they were in real position to win second in WCC, but Max losses WDC. Ironically

The Vegas situation is much more devastating in this timeline, because Verstappen would have been down 22 points with 23 points on the board with Norris finishing that race in second. Practically eliminated... but it's never that easy with him.

Interestingly, the only real change in this format is that Max would need Norris to finish in fifth instead of in fourth to take the title with a win. Norris clinches on the podium, but loses to Oscar by finishing fourth with a Piastri win.

I went and scored every single race of this season for Norris, Verstappen and Piastri using this format, along with the original 3-2-1 distribution for the six Sprints throughout the season.

Under this format, the points entering Abu Dhabi are

1. Norris (139)
2. Piastri (-7)
3. Verstappen (-9)

It should also be mentioned that wigs are usually only seen in British criminal cases. When it comes to civil or family court cases, judges and lawyers generally don't wear wigs.

It never really fell out of style in British courts. I think the change came over here pretty early after the Revolution, as part of a larger society push to try and be our own nation and own culture instead of just a group of former British colonies.

Tsunoda is traditionally strong at Abu Dhabi. If he could have just one complete weekend, suddenly the last 21 races of nothing have value.

Fuck you (I really really want 2012 and 2013 bad)

One of them might be F1 2013 so yes

For a guy on Twitter all day, Jerry doesn’t seem to read a lot of it. Especially considering he’s a TEXAN who reports on NASCAR

There are so many fucking children on there. They’ve spent the last six months complaining about so much news coming out of this lawsuit, now they want the lawsuit posts to swamp the subreddit entirely and stop essentially all conversation on there for three weeks.

I couldn’t even name 20 movies this year tbh, but Sinners would be one I could name

And he's doing it with fast SEA food with no relevance in 2025! I went and typed in "Long John Silvers" in an incognito Chrome tab and the first rec search was wondering if they were still in business

Arby's is probably seeing more business now than it has in years with all of the Zootwopers going to it after their showing, though

It sure would be nice if NASCAR gave a shit about their teams! Maybe they wouldn't be in this pickle they find themselves in.

SHR died and by the next week the biggest question was who was going to be the next owner of those charters, not that SHR, a multi-time Cup championship team in the last 15 years, just fucking died and most of the workforce was released.

Imagine if Red Bull Racing shut down next season.

Germain had been in NASCAR in some form for over 15 years by that point, Cup by 10 years. GEICO had been a sponsor of Germain for 12 years. GEICO left Germain, forcing Germain to shut down, and instead continued as a NASCAR sponsor for a few more years.
