ROCCO AND NICO

@RacingRocco

@NicoRaces

Driving an F3 car is hardly like riding a bicycle.

But then you already know that, don’t you?

I can handle any power you can, @RacingRocco.

Come out of the Dark Ages and into the sunlight of the 21st century, you male chauvinist amoeba.

I wouldn’t dare refer to you as a pig. It’s an insult to swine.

@RacingRocco

Saying you lack the power is not a sexist comment @NicoRaces. It’s a fact. F3 cars are smaller and less powerful. The speed at which you can grip a corner isn’t even close. If you want to corner me, you’ll have to do better.

@NicoRaces

Based on your performance of late @RacingRocco, it wouldn’t be difficult to corner you. Although why any woman would want to is beyond me.

@RacingRocco

What’s beyond you @NicoRaces is what to do with me if you ever did corner me, which would only happen if I let it happen. Maybe if you spent more time on the track and less time obsessing over me on social media, you’d move up to F2.

@NicoRaces

Maybe if you spent more time on the track @RacingRocco and less time reading my posts and making sexist comments, you’d finally find your way back to the podium.

@RacingRocco

It’s convenient to cry sexism, isn’t it @NicoRaces? Y O Y ask Y? It’s not for lack of a chromosome you’re not racing Formula 1.

@NicoRaces

I should hope not @RacingRocco. The Y chromosome isn’t good for much. Climate change. War. Not to mention the Reliant Robin.

@RacingRocco

That’s a lot to place on one little chromosome @NicoRaces. Such bitterness can mean only one thing—you’re in the wrong sport. Maybe it’s time to consider another.

@NicoRaces

I smell projection @RacingRocco. Hemingway said, “There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely games.” Here’s some advice.

Give up this game you’re playing with me on social media and find some better use of your time.

I would say it would be better spent on motor racing if you had any success at it.

That leaves bullfighting and mountaineering.

But I wouldn’t suggest the former. I fear the two amigos, Itchy and Scratchy, alongside the little toy soldier wouldn’t fare too well. Ouch!

DM: Direct Message: From @RacingRocco To @NicoRaces

These posts of yours are ripe with frustration. I’ll lend you my Kawasaki Ninja H2R. It might help. It’s clear you need to put something exciting between your legs.
