I have never understood how we have to have this discussion every race weekend - you can go off here but not here... it's ridiculous. And then at Spa it's not the white line it's the back of the kerb... do these people listen to themselves? They make themselves look completely stupid. These guys are supposed to be the best drivers in the world, but for some reason they need to be allowed to drive like they are on Playstation.

I must admit I don't understand it either. I haven't thought about this in great detail so possibly there's a reason, but why not put gravel or sand outside these corners? Then the drivers would stick to the track.

Well, only one there for me, and it’s red. I have been tempted by a B&R but would need to see that one in the flesh.

The only track where they don't have this problem is Monaco, funny that...!

Having once tried on a Richard Mille, I can vouch for it being the lightest and most comfortable to wear and surprisingly not bulky, despite its appearance.

The Monaco looks good but my thoughts on it have not changed from when it was launched.

Daytona - yawn.

B&R - god that's ugly.

Hublot - tacky.

Casio - was there a Casio, oh yes, I forgot about the Casio..... 😉

This felt like a video game ::rimshot:: Pit to P5! 19 overtake by Checo! Best of all, TAG Heuer makes a great presence on this view 😉

I'm catching up on last year's season, thanks to Netflix.

A friend of mine, who is a non-F1/motorsport fan, watched Nerflix’s “Drive to Survive” and is now more crazy than I am watching the F1 season 🤨 Props to F1 media for reaching out to more audiences by adding another layer of thrill, excitement & emotional drama into the sport ::rimshot::

We’ve watched drive to survive, wife reckons she would watch further series of that, but the actual racing, no, me I’ll record the highlights and might watch, with finger on the fast forward button looking for action moments.

Ah yes sir! The highlights and the excitement 👍

Sometimes, watching Formula 1 is like watching football. Seems like eternity waiting then you have moments of glory ::rimshot::

That was a great battle for the Pole in Imola! 🥰
What a pity not having also Lando there because of the track limits 🤔


Lewis had to fly in order to achieve his 99th Pole Position, showing his class when he doesn’t drive the fastest car 👍

Great job by Checo, beating Max... which is not easy at all. But I think we all expect another great fight between Lewis and Max tomorrow 🍿

I been at rugby matches were it’s scrum after scrum after, you get the gist, then the backs will break from the 6m line and it’s a sight to behold finishing in a try under the sticks, a few seconds of wonder to overcome the monotomy. Worth the cold and wet spectating, although the hip flask helps too.

Track limits seem to be an issue now, just install grass between the track limit line and the kitty litter and drivers will stay on side , no traction keeps them clear. Local circuit installed plastic grating along the edges of the circuit where tarmac met grass at track level which grass grew through, made a huge to keeping going when ambition overcame ability instead of spearing off towards the tyres.

I can only ask, has Lewis been down to the crossroads and done a deal with the devil? Off track and and last? only for a red flag to come out due to an accident that removed fast runners which allowed him to catch the field and eventually finish second, even when fate conspires against him luck turns up to help him along.
