AFAIK it's a visual representation of a salute

I'm loving it. Ignoring Max, every race is different. Basically anyone can finish at any place, even though there are definitely trends. Hulkenberg and Norris suddenly being up in the top 5, Albon in the points. Then you have the constant fight between Aston, Mercedes, Ferrari, and Perez. There's plenty of good racing, you just shouldn't care too much about who wins (since that's almost a given).

Damn that's quite a flex. While I don't find dominance entertaining, it's still hugely impressive to see. Max is currently one of the greats in the form of his life. A combination of a great car, great team, and a great driver absolutely dominating the sport. Ignoring Max, the races are actually very entertaining as well

I wasn't really aware that Keti Koti had a kind of remembrance day format. It's hard for me as a white Dutchman to truly understand the complexities of the situation, but we can all agree that slavery was horrible and that having a remembrance ceremony like this is a good thing. The apology seemed sincere and well received.

Damn that was a very interesting sprint. Nice gamble from Russell, spicy stuff between the Red Bulls, plenty of battles, and some nice tactics coming into play with the slicks.

Yeah it's impressive. I was honestly not very excited when Haas announced him, but oh boy was I wrong.

Apart from the very stable Verstappen P1, this season is pretty entertaining and chaotic. Even compared to yesterday there's plenty of upsets. Every race it seems like the story changes between everyone who isn't Verstappen. Suddenly Norris on P3 again, Hülkenberg P4, Mercedes nowhere, Aston disappointing, Ferrari isn't too great either. Lovely entertainment.

Because on my phone, using Firefox, the mobile experience isn't too great. It's slow, sometimes the screen just blanks out and I need to reload, and sometimes it rapid-fires new posts on the top of the page which makes it impossible to click anything

Seems reasonable to me. These rules are there to make the chances of later issues with corruption, economic problems, etc less likely. We should help these countries to reach the expectations, but we shouldn't just drop the expectations because of the circumstances.

Ah it seems to work now, thanks!
