Exactly, having been through it myself it isnt the answer Bury it the best you can and get on with it. It does pop up from time to time but its important to have good family and friends around you that you can let off steam with It makes it harder when stuff like this does come out, watching Stewarts interview I totally get where he was coming from and the anger, frustration, sadness etc. Dont get the bit about not being able to be affectionate towards others though. Thats letting the abuser win isnt it as it affects day to day life? But everyone is different, you cant get bogged down or you just go nuts and press the self destruct button. In the past from my experience it can overcome you very quickly if you let it. You almost have to be bigger than it and fight whenever things try to work their way into your head again In a nutshell people like Bristow should shut up when they havent got a clue. There are more important things than trying to be an interesting twitter account by saying controversial things
Its very hard to say stigma and shame as shown up by that louse Bristow. You can't talk about it therefore somewhere inside you fear turning into the same monster yourself? Bristow is exactly how churches, celebrities and whoever got away with this stuff for years and ACTIVELY force victims to keep quiet. What a dick. the only way to minimize this predation is to make sure everyone can talk about it and not be tortured.. cos the kid out there right now at 10 who's being tortured by a sick freak has to know they can talk sometime.
Yeah standard threats from the scumbags, I kept quiet until my mum forced it out of me Then my step dad went to his house to smash his head in but he'd run off Then the police eventually caught up with him. He was 17 and sent to a young offenders place, he didnt get a long sentence Funny thing when I went back to my hometown he was in the hairdressers when I went to get my haircut! I had to leave or I couldve got locked up. He didnt recognise me, it isnt the answer to rip his head off I'd like to think/hope things are different nowdays. We (our business) do a lot of work for Male sex abuse charities in raising their awareness
Funny. Bristow isn't as fat as I remember him. I guess that's what the obesity epidemic and living in the US does... He just looks extra chubby now, not enormous like he did in my memory. My 20+ year memory of him was of this enormous super-obese man. By the standards of the day he was.
German GP is to be dropped from the F1 calendar next season There was a time when that would be sacrilegious and a travesty but since they redeveloped Hockenheim they ruined a classic and historic track and turned it into something wishy washy and anodyne so it really doesn't matter Brazil is only provisionally confirmed, if they drop that it will be sacrilege as that is a classic layout that has only been lightly modified
True. It's the modern increased safety regs as well. Of course we don't want any more driver deaths but it contributes to making soft, characterless tracks too, the brand new ones and the new old ones You should go to Monza if you ever get a chance and look at the old banked track, that's some near vertical scary ****
That, and run off areas that don't slow you down. Some tracks it's quicker to leave the track than stay on it.
Nearly all run off areas should have gravel... so into it and you're out the race. Only thing I will say is having large run off areas does help people make gutsy lake braking into corner to try overtake. If risk of not doing it in time was a trip to gravel and out of race then you'd see a lot less which would be a bit dull.
That's very extreme as it punishes unfairly innocent drivers who may have to use the areas because of incidents around them. The other reason they phased them out is because it's dangerous to have static cars spinning wheels in difficult parts of the track (usually where incidents occur), plus the race organisers want as many cars staying in the race for sponsors and tv audiences Even when they had gravel traps though it didn't always put a car out of the race, much moreso than the tarmac areas now of course, but it was possible to extricate the car from them
