Alfa Romeo driver has a pulled muscle, meaning reserve driver Marcus Ericsson will have to miss the IndyCar round in Portland, Oregon this weekend for the Belgian Grand Prix. Räikkönen blamed “sports” for the injury, because sports are dangerous.

Sports are so dangerous, in fact, that Räikkönen—who injured his left leg but did not elaborate on how he did it, “Sport. Injuries. Getting old.”—believes maybe, just maybe, drinking is safer. From :

“Sport. It is dangerous. I always said it is more dangerous – drinking is probably safer. Usually you don’t get injured, you just get a hangover.”

There you go. Sports? Nah. Maybe drink instead.

You didn’t hear it here first, but at least you heard it here.

Why Monaco Will Always Be The King Of Formula One Circuits
The Monaco Grand Prix has caught a lot of flack in recent years because it’s just not as well suited to modern-day Formula One cars as it was to the series’ vintage counterparts. Longer, wider cars make passing difficult on a short and narrow track, so we’ve seen more...

WRC Is Going Hybrid But You Won't Be Able To Tell
The World Rally Championship powertrain ruleset next season, but after some clarification comments from Jari Matti-Latvala, principal of Toyota Gazoo Racing’s effort, I’m not entirely sure why.
