... There you have it. I really feel bad for you. -------------------------------------------- I don't really have any specific comments to make on the race, or the season as a whole.. I think everything can speak for itself. All I will say, is that the team is going to have to make a decision quit...

With his performance in the F2 sprint race today, I think George Russell has surely overtaken Lando Norris - not just on the racetrack, not just in the championship, but also as the Next Big Thing for Britain in F1. A supreme overtaking drive, charging through from 7th to 2nd in a matter of a dozen ...

Well, after a couple of races where I couldn't even see the finish due to circumstances completely outside of my considerable control, it is nice to be back on the podium again. Still, as a driver who demands nothing but the utmost perfection, it's incredibly disappointing to be handed a trick setu...

Timmy O'Toole gladly takes Euromotor's offer of a backup reserve test driver role.

Timmy O'Toole would like to offer his services as a backup reserve test driver for Euromotor. He has no qualifications.

I don't have a common misconception to talk about here, but I feel like this thread's opening is incomplete without this video.

I had to do quite a bit of driving this weekend, but I have XM in my car and they give Radio Le Mans its own channel for the race. So I listened to about 8 or 9 hours or so of their coverage. Has any commentary team ever so OPENLY bashed a series/sanctioning bod/race before? I understood their hatr...

I'd just like to point out that, during Alonso's overnight stint, Jose Maria Lopez was dreadful more than Fernando Alonso was good. Alonso started out chipping a little bit of time out of Mike Conway, who was more managing the car than racing to defend the 2 minute lead he had to play with once Seba...

This is an absolute disgrace. Patrick Friesacher should have his superlicence revoked for that. I was on the verge of delivering the greatest racing victory in history: past, present, and future. No driver has ever driven as well as I have today. From 19th on the grid, no less, I single-handedly ca...

No driver is bigger than Ferrari. Michael Schumacher wasn't, in the end, and neither is Sebastian Vettel. If Arrivabene/Marchionne want a driver like Ricciardo to shore up their WCC aspirations, they'll get him, Vettel be damned. IIRC about Irvine, Ferrari signed him specifically as they needed some...

2- Brendon Hartley ....no. ...he qualified a poor 16th... Being held up by a car that's also doing a hotlap is never conducive to a good qualifying position. ...was once again off the pace...

I'm just upset with Alonso and Hamilton's constant self-posturing. Alonso did a great job on Sunday, but on saying that he alone is capable of such feats, he simply reduces himself to a petty man. Hamilton's poise and tact post-race was nice, as was the Bottas gesture, but saying that others celebr...

Eileen McPherson won. As in, finished ahead of everyone else. Eileen. McPherson.

I think this is the most fitting way to cap off the RRL's first season.

Salamander

Red Bull came into this race looking very competitive, and were tipped to be a threat for victory. Instead, they were off the pace in qualifying and were (relatively) trundling around 30-odd seconds behind the lead when Ricciardo took it too far - this after Verstappen himself was overzealous in de...

Well, I think is pretty safe to award Rossi as Reject of the Race. But Wickens should have protected the inside line better. No, Wickens did everything right. He moved to defend the inside line, Rossi kept coming for the inside, so Wickens had to give it to him, or else it would've been a re-run of...

And so, everyone agreed never to use quadbikes again. Not because of the race result, but because Eileen McPherson was actually competent with them. Seriously, did she make something like, overtakes in this race? As in, plural?

As of last night, Shigeaki Hattori is officially a winner in NASCAR.

Yes, it's as a team owner, but still, it's amazing to say finally. Here's hoping Brett Moffitt can go on to make a good bid for the title!

I don't hate Dillon cause he's rich. I hate him because he acts and drives like a whiny child. I still remember how he went and put Cole Custer in the wall in an Xfinity race last year for what was a racing incident. And I don't give a damn if Jim Clark would've done it, wrecking a guy at 190+ mph ...
