If Hellen Zille is the mayor of Johannesburg and my lights are on 24/7, the water in the tap is drinkable, refuse is collected, potholes are fixed and cops are patrolling my neighbourhood, I have no worries. I don’t give a damn about her being white and a woman. I don’t even like the DA.

Su primer compañero de equipo fue el vigente bicampeón del mundo: Fernando Alonso. Años después, compartió equipo con otro campeón del mundo reinante: Jenson Button. Después tuvo que enfrentarse a su mejor amigo y romper su amistad para poder ganarle: Nico Rosberg. Más adelante, le pusieron como compañero a un pilotazo como George Russell, en uno de los mejores momentos de su carrera. Y, a los 41 años, decidió medirse con Leclerc en Ferrari, un equipo moldeado a el y hasta con CONTRATOS con beneficios. Nadie tuvo una carrera tan exigente en cuanto a compañeros de equipo como Lewis Hamilton. ¿De todos los tiempos? El mas grande 🐐

Listen, he's right, but the way he has worded it is absolutely disrespectful. Hamilton has done nothing but praise this guy throughout the last few years with no digs and this is what he says out of the blue. Verstappen might be the most dislikeable athlete of all time alongside Ronaldo post-2022.
Max was asked about Hamilton's performance, who stands at the other end of the spectrum in terms of age compared to Kimi 🗣️ "He [Hamilton] probably won't get any faster. Don't get me wrong: I'm not saying Lewis is getting slower, just that he isn't getting any faster. With Kimi, it's different. There's still a lot more in him."

Once Lewis retires, #F1 will revert to being a whiteman’s sport. Lewis has been an inconvenience that they couldn’t push out so easily, because he was that fcking good.

We can't argue about who's the GOAT when clearly he's the GOAT. We are gonna celebrate his 208th podium, because of how hard he achieved it. From wrong tyres at the beginning, to adamantly staying out through slicks & getting up on that podium.

I am interested to understand why we don't deserve the right to host this? "South Africa doesn't deserve the honour of hosting such an event. Why not rather move it to Germany…" — Larches disq.us/p/36pca8m

In South Africa, the ANC hands out a water tank during election season and calls it governance. Thirty years in power, and the flagship achievement on the campaign trail is a plastic tank, not a functioning municipal water system, not fixed infrastructure, just a tank, wheeled out with cameras rolling and comrades smiling for the gallery. This is what "service delivery" has been reduced to, a photo-op standing in for policy, a handout standing in for a plan. The taps have been dry for years. The pipes are corroded. The reservoirs are neglected. But none of that matters as long as there's a banner, a tank, and a chance to remind the community who to vote for in four weeks. It's not development. It's a transaction dressed up as generosity, solve nothing, fix nothing, just show up with a tank and ask for another term.
