Wow… that is bad.

It appears that the intent is to call the team “RB”.

I say big ***** and a huge pre-frontal cortex to be able to navigate a higher risk reward profile to race and win. It's not denial, stupidity or insanity to us because our abilities are so far from being up to the task. We are so amazed by it we go to watch them race and their success is front page news.

I am not sure which driver/drivers you are talking about?

Moss wasn't a "real man" because he risked his life racing and the current drivers aren't "real men" because the sport is less life threatening.

Racing at any point in history has nothing to do with manhood. It's a sport, entertainment, nothing more.

As a fan of both, this would be absolutely epic!!!

🚨BREAKING NEWS: Formula 1 and MotoGP are set to collaborate for a joint weekend.

A decision that has been under discussion among the top executives of both racing categories.

The owner of the United States Grand Prix supports this event.

100% agree. the F1 drivers are great, but the MotoGP boys are just incredible. much, much closer racing in MotoGP also. pretty much every race is fantastic.

so looking forward to seeing MM on the Duc. i have to believe he's right there in the mix with Pecco and Martin. should be a wildly entertaining season.

Agree that Marquez on the Ducati should put him in the mix with Pecco and others for the championship.

With regard to which track with facilities that could possibly host both events on the same weekend, there's only a couple that come to mind like Austin and Silverstone. Doesn't Silverstone have two separate garage facilities and two different start/finish lines?

Whilst there is a good case to make that it’s actually WRC drivers who qualify as the best drivers in any of the World Series, the one’s with the greatest amount of courage has to be the Moto GP riders. Unbelievable commitment and yes, the action and closeness of the racing is superb.

Caveat: whilst not a series per se, the Isle of Mann TT riders are undoubtedly the bravest as the TT course is simply a circuit just waiting to kill you multiple times/lap.

do not disagree with any of that. rally drivers are heroes! what they can do, in the conditions they do in, are remarkable. no question.

TT riders... whoa. another whole breed of human. ****ing daredevils. i've been watching the TT for decades. insane ****, indeed.
