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.

They should replace his profile pic with a still of him waving the flag, I hardly recognize the guy.

Yeah I had to look him up and the edit was there already. Even though I was only watching with a 10 minute delay.

How can he be in so many movies and yet I have no idea who he is.

The bad guy from 2 Fast 2 Furious was how I described him to my wife yesterday.

Yes, he is particularly less menacing in this red carpet photo

Bro, where do they get these random ass celebrities from. They should have a randomly selected fan wave the flag instead.

One flag wave and a year later, rumors has it Tim Apple buys F1 Streaming license.

Let’s see what this dude does in the next 12 months

Ugh, I forgot about that. The least inspiring thing ever to have been on TV.

What’s the story here? I’m out of the loop.

The Formula 1 United States Grand Prix race was today and this actor waved the checkered flag. This silly Wikipedia edit was up minutes after they showed this guy waving the flag on TV. I had to look up who he was because he was unrecognizable, he looked like a fat country singer.

I guess somebody had to pay a lot to get this guy his few seconds of fame.
