You’re probably watching some international feed with Brundle etc these days so…tough. I guess you’ll just have to be mildly inconvenienced and show a little respect before watching cars go round in circles.

…and according to apparently 42% of the world watched Diana’s funeral, over 50% of the UK did too.

Question those stats as much as you like but I think it makes sound business sense to avoid clashing.

Well I didn’t intend to mean different languages. That said, a German may well talk about the ‘Königin Silvia’ or whomever but they’ll it’s quite likely they’ll know who ‘The Queen’ is.

E.g. try going to Baidu […]

Blimey, all this banging on about privilege, bitterness and chips on shoulders…

There are many royal families around the world but there’s only one *Royal* family that doesn’t need a country to prefix it and […]

Suck it up world, rule Britannia.

have you chosen to forget the Ferrari engine was cheating regulations and was promptly neutered last season?!

this is like when a local council issue a load of new rules and regulations without anything more than a brief ‘consultation period’ and then expect everyone to happily pay for all the mess it generates

Mercedes have the biggest team budget, this is an undisputed fact. They also don’t have all the headaches and pressures associated with being Ferrari.

“Team with the biggest budget and a baked-in engine advantage for 7 seasons moans that another team has done a better job over the winter.”

I think I can hear the world’s smallest violin playing…

I think the take-away is that the stewards didn’t care about it until:

1) RB told VER publicly that Hamilton has been repeatedly taking advantage of it
2) It ultimately decided the race

Again, I’ve got no […]

it’s the inconsistency that drives me mad…

Why not just have a one-strike warning and a second strike penalty? The drivers are good enough to keep their cars on track (excl. NM).

Instead we have the mess […]

If you’re not allowed to overtake off-track then why are you allowed to drive off-track at all?

If Lewis had beaten Max in a fair scrap, that’s a good thing…but I’m not sure the stewarding made that fight entirely fair.

This is man is absolutely unbearable.

This reads to me like a compromise, as though the larger objective from both sides wasn’t agreed and instead they’ve both accepted that a one-year deal is best all-round.

This is just what happens when half the world’s sporting events are cancelled…

Just imagine the figures if the sport were remotely competitive!

Well I’m sure the royal society for the prevention of traffic light anxiety will enjoy their chicken feed ‘victim’ surcharge.

So a tax, right?

I laughed at the ‘victim surcharge’ for a standard motoring offence.

Easily – they get 28 days to respond to the NIP, then a further 28 days, then the time it takes to assemble the summons before being assigned a hearing date…all during a pandemic.

Besides, it’s a motoring […]
