Watched the sprint race highlights last night. Boring.

Let’s not have a sprint race at Qatar again.

Newey out manoeuvring Horner

I quite enjoyed that quali!

Onboard footage showed how all of them were having to constantly correct the car. Some amazing driving up and down the grid.

Nice to see Sainz put it in P3. Maybe he wouldn’t have done any better at Ferrari this year

I'm a bit sceptical too.

Will be interesting to hear what Barry thinks of them, if they're allowing people to try them on.

TBH, putting on a helmet isn't that difficult, and after 5 minutes you forget about the strap unless you've done it up too tightly.



I've seen that a couple of times too ...

Bit of a long vid, but well worth watching. All about how special the Ferrari F2004 was.



Bet Hamilton would cry in despair, if he saw how Ferrari had their shit tied down so well back then

I don’t know if any of you chaps are eligible for Saga car insurance (over 50 only) but the prices my dad pays with them are ridiculously cheap - the M cars are £150 each.
Something to look forward to once one hits 50 :lol:


Just over 4 more years for me :lol:

Apparently insurance goes up a ...

Used to mostly buy Goodyear tyres in the past, but have gradually been switching to Michelins over the years.

The main thing I miss from the Goodyears is the really good rim protector. Michelin don't seem to bother!

Have previously tried Vresdestiens, Falkens and a few others, which I got on well ...

This vid popped up on my YT recommendations.

How come I never noticed one of the Ferrari mechanics doing a running headbutt into the wall, shortly after he told Filipe Massa's family he hadn't won the championship

Sochi 2021 according to the Sky pundits.


Just looked it up, and according to Wikipedia, for Sotchi 2021 quali:

Max Verstappen received a three-place grid penalty for causing a collision at the previous round. He was later required to start the race from the back of the grid for exceeding his ...

Think they said in the quali highlights that I watched that's the first time since he joined F1 that he's out in Q1 purely from lack of pace.

I'm enjoying how much the momentum has swung between Piastri, Verstappen and Norris this year!

Ahh, RIP Quentin. I really did enjoy the era of classic TG he was in.

petrol?

Did you try this? When I was fixing the window regulator in the Fabia I held the window glass up with gorilla tape. It was stuck there for ages, and I kept hacking to add extra bits as I took so long doing the job. It left a sticky residue on the paintwork and on the glass itself. I ...

I've put in the request with imgur for them to send me all my data and to delete my account afterwards. I could probably do that via VPN, but they can do the donkey work :lol:

I've also signed up to imgbb as per Mikes recommendation. Seems pretty good. Took a while for the activation email to come ...

He's not reducing the number of MOTs and road tax he's paying by getting rid of them three

it’s bad isn’t it, that you almost in a way don’t want them to end the war in Gaza because Trump has been part of the solution…. i said almost!


I wouldn't go that far, but I do agree that on Gaza, he does deserve credit (if things do improve there)

The problem with Trump and the Nobel Prize ...

Don't let the truth get in the way of a good story

F1 cars get their wheels changed with the car up in the air, so that's the only way to do it, IMO.

The yellow E36 M3 model on the stained boot carpet is a particularly nice touch!

Final trip of the year down to Oxford for the 928.org annual meetup this weekend.

928 performed superbly over a 1200 mile trip to the Scottish Highlands - never missed a beat. I gave it a check over before I went and found that number 7 plug lead was full of green crusties and number 8 wasn't ...
