No coverage of the Bathurst 12-hour?
Valentino Rossi got second!

That was wild. RF doesn’t really touch much outside of F1 unless a current, former or prospective F1 driver was involved.

Deagen Fairclough looks marginally similar to George Russell at a quick glance, so no wonder I briefly mixed up & therefore had to be careful, especially as even the driving suit is predominantly black.
I like the Caption Competition nomination, which is basically the same as mine, & even though this whole thing is meant to be taken light-heartedly, he’s more likely IndyCar-bound beyond this year, if nothing within F1.

I could see him being extremely exciting in that series, especially if he has no fear of doing ovals.

Palou winning the Indy would certainly be a great thing to complete his legacy. He got so close in 2021 already.
Anything but “those guys”, I guess. The muted response to the winner last year was rather awkward. Very much justified, but still not the way you want to see such a legendary event conclude.
