Might wanna check with a Brit...Thinking it's the American equivalent of calling someone "Retarded." Probably pretty harsh unless joking around with friends and not for use in public?

As per usual, the Brit term is more incisive. If it's like saying "you're such a retard, you don't even know how retarded the thing you just did is", then I think it's a fantastic addition to my vocabulary

Understand your stance!!! But who said Red Bull or anyone else has to be classy? I want my teams to be ruthless & brutal!!! But that's me because it rings true to my sporting life & careers...Be kind until it's time not to be...Then get f'ing UGLY...Some have never had to live with that mindset...And to them I say you are truly blessed.

Non-sense, the rules state when a car is significantly alongside which the video proves is true. They are entitled to be there on the track as any driver is and has to be left room.

A car can choose to squeeze the other driver off the track like Max often does, but he has to leave room. Either way the argument that one car needs to only be on a certain part of the track or they are at fault is non-sense.

There is no rule that you have to be as far right or as far left as you can, nor does it say you need to hit the apex.

Negative regarding Non-sense !

The video shows the reaction difference in the Copse turn from HAM .

1• The situation Charlie : HAM ran on the inside "OVER THE CURBS" in the Copse turn to let Charlie by

2• The situation MAX : HAM pulled in MAX's right rear wheel .
This situation was a provocation and an action that was clearly premeditated to sent MAX off track followed by a 51 G crash in the wall .

• The difference in leaving space from 1 & 2 was the width of at least 2 cars !
That's what the video is all about ...
Period .

FIA have special dark Merc shades to judge Max (where am I, I can't see) and much lighter tint ones where hammy is concerned in other words it's a fffffffffi..

Is there some other definition or usage of the word that's offensive? It sounds like a pretty straightforward (and perhaps accurate) insult

You guys are so sad.

mongoloid ( adj.) characteristic of or resembling a Mongol; the mongoloid epicanthic fold. mongoloid ( adj.) (offensive) of or relating to or suffering from Down syndrome; 2. mongoloid ( n.) a person suffering from Down syndrome (no longer used technically in this sense, now considered offensive);

Historical note.

"...During the first half of the twentieth century in the United States, the majority of children with Down syndrome were placed in institutions – frequently soon after birth. This resulted in great human sacrifice for those individuals and for their families, who were convinced, often by members of the medical community, that the child was less than human and that their needs would be so great, their families would not be able to raise them. These children were “warehoused” in large state institutions – often in deplorable conditions – locked away so that the rest of society could not see the horror of their lives."

What is is like to be so catastrophically wrong, so often and tie your hopes to a caustic and toxic organization?

"So sad" that I quite literally asked for the information you've just provided? It's been over 10 years since I've heard the term "mongoloid" and I didn't make the connection .

I see your superiority complex is alive and well, as always. I am truly sad for you, that you may never see how truly insufferable you are.

It is literally at your fingertips and the fact that there was a dust-up of international proportions about this very issue says something. You are a racing fan and it was headline news. There was talk of international sanctions on Max as well as the team.

In my estimation, your lack of knowledge on this is willful ignorance and it's more disturbing given the fact that you were about to employ this slur in your game.

What you call insufferable, I call standards. This is how one lives in a civilization be it online or IRL.

TLDR, none of them have the moral high ground IMO, some much less than others though. I agree though, RB seems to be on the bottom of said hill.
I understand and appreciate what you are saying...especially the last sentence. There is winning at all cost and there is winning ethically. I prefer to support organizations that do the latter even though I realize there are circumstances where individuals do things that are without the knowledge of the org which has to suffer for the indiscretion.

I had to learn to be cutthroat in Corporate and I've only mellowed as I've gotten older. I have no issue with cutthroat competition. For almost 5 years in a telecommunication company my nickname was, "The Sledgehammer"...something I'm not too proud of now but perfectly reflected my stance on winning against my peers. Nothing unethical but always the extreme for longer or harder than my colleagues. Always fair but relentless.

This is basically how competition should be, IMHO. And the vanquished should be humble to recognize the value of the victors and recognize their achievement. Unfortunately, I don't see Red Bullying Racing as this type of organization.

Thanks...great post!!

Can you tell me why ?


Why '50 Mercedes employees, mechanics , and the top Mercedes PU engineer Andy Cowell 'left the Wolff's Mercedes BlitzKrieg factory to work now in a caustic and toxic organization like Red Bull ?
