On Brazilian TV the said there was a loss of power but it came back, I can't get a good link on Sky its very jurkey

Actually, that's all Sky have said, but haven't explained what it was or why it was temporary.

You can tell the new owners are a media company.

When the TV director shows a miscellaneous female in one of the garages, they put up a caption saying who they are and why they hell they're there: "Blah blah - Danny Kvyat's girlfriend"

after a quick google, her surnames got a bit of f1 history associated with it as well

He was with Nelson Piquet's daughter in Russia at the last race, but he may be like James Hunt and have 3 or 4 girlfriends since then

His Dad can only do so much to keep him in F1, I think we will see Alonso there next year

We just had an hour or two showing Carlos Sainz's family, none of whom had any interest in F1 at all, unless they were watching proceedings on a smart-phone.

We were in the bar last night and one of the guys said "we should make a rule that whoever uses their phone first has to pay the bill", we all agreed and about 5 minutes later his wife called him and he answered his phone

If I'm at my local bar I don't take my phone anymore.

He was lucky we were just drinking and not eating, the beer is only 5B$ for a big bottle so the bill only came to about 150B$, if we had been eating it could have been around 500B$

1UK pound is about 4B$, Beer and fags here are cheep which is good news for me

 

[Limejuice]

I want cheap beer too.

What is the cost of a pint nowadays?

 

[Ax^]

hovering around the 4 quid mark in a pub these days

What is the cost of a pint nowadays?

Depends on where in the UK. Where I live in the deep south it's £3.75 - £4.00.

Visiting family in the far frozen it's £3.20 to £3.50.

Here a pint in a bottle is about 1pound, draft is about 1.20(UK) (700ml bottle is 5B$ which I think is about a pint and a quarter and fags are about 1.20p (UK) for 20)

Lordy! I packed in smoking about 20 years ago. That's 7,300 packets I've not smoked.

I think London is £4 - £5?

A posh bar and some restaurants you can pay as much as 10B$ for a beer, my old lady and kids like the posh restaurants, but I like spit and sawdust bars

Can Bottas go from 3 to 1 again from the start

It's set up for that.

On paper, you'd say the Mercedes and Ferrari were closely matched this season. I'd like a little more Red Bull in the mix, but at least we've got some competition.
