This F1 Racing change is in response to their "golden" woke boy losing the championship at the last minute, isn't it? (media.kotakuinaction2.win)

There's a few jokes that can be made here since it's a racing sport and "black gold" means petroleum.

Anyway...

F1 is making "significant" changes to the 2022 rules as per a trending article on Twitter. My knee-jerk reaction to this is to assume it's because their very vocal, Burn-Loot-Murder supporting, woke kneeling BRITISH driver Lewis Hamilton didn't win the 2021 championship.

Keep in mind BLM doesn't exist in the UK, so along with every other woketard that kneels during football matches and whatever other sports-

FUCK I mean to post this along with the image!

-Hamilton is quite literally virtue signalling to for a non existent cause, to a non existent crowd in the UK.

Of course because he's the poster boy for modern day wokeness in F1 many bend over backwards for him and paint any and all criticism of him as "wacism", because clearly the only reason anything could be wrong with him is due to his skin colour. Ironically enough being actually racist about things by not permitting or considering anything except his skin colour.

Now that I'm not tied to a fire,

Firstly, an agreement was reached regarding how many points are awarded in the case of abandoned race. Last year’s Belgian Grand Prix was called off duty to rain after just two laps of a procession behind the safety car, with drivers awarded half points

That meant Max Verstappen, who qualified on pole at Spa Francorhamps, scored 12.5 points for winning a race which never really took place, giving him what ended up being a crucial mid-season points boost in an intense fight with Hamilton

New rules now state that points can only be awarded if at least two laps of ‘normal’ non-safety car running have been completed by the race leader 👍

If the Belgian GP were to be run again now, no driver would receive any points

tl;dr They really are pissy Hamilton lost.

Oh, he doesn't care about black people and knew what this shit was from the start. For him, this was all a tax writeoff that garnered him more accolades and endorsements, so he doesn't give a fuck. Grifters know grifters.

Time for a little story: It's something in that vein. See, for years it was about the racing and being able to sell things to the fans. Any type, nascar, F1, Indy, etc. Then, the car companies took over and it was about selling cars. Well, they sold out to the merchandising companies because it was cheaper to make that product and easier to sell it. To make the most profit, you need big, recognizable names with a personality or gimmick to get even the most reluctant people to shell out for that cheaply made piece of shit souvenir. So, the merchandise companies came up with a plan. Sponsor the more promising drivers AND the more weaker drivers. Underdogs sell almost as much with cult like fans as the big winners. People hate others who are too successful, they believe them to be cheaters even if they aren't. The better drivers face little actual competition and win often enough that their popularity soars and sells more merchandise. Well, that wasn't enough, NOW, they need to have more than just skills or attractive features, they have to have diversity! Not too much, don't want to piss off the base so much they'll leave, but mocha isn't straight up black even if you promote it that way. Throw in the mediocre drivers, give the mixed driver a good 'house nigger' back story, and drivers with some skills but are willing to share the podium for a part of the cut, and suddenly merchandise sales are sky rocketing. You have people buying merchandise who never knew about your sport or hated it before because their diversity hire is popular. I would call this the Tiger Woods effect, but Tiger was actually supremely god damn talented.

Something similar happened in MLB. The Cubs went to the World Series despite under performing that year to face off against a mediocre team. Game 7, they barely won, and that was only because the other team kept fucking up intentionally. I watched that game, you can't fucking tell me my Cubs won that shit legitimately. It was all merchandising, because, holy shit was that jacked up expensive shit everywhere and was it selling!
