Several hours?!The stewards’ discussion took place over several hours, with a brief interlude
I feel some face-saving going on here, public opinion is clear that Max should have got a penalty and that the stewards got it wrong, some drivers are also making comments such as "“You always need to adapt to every situation, every decision the stewards are doing, So I think that's a bit the same for every driver, we will always try to race at the limits of what we're allowed to do. And that's what I will do if in case where these things are allowed. If this is allowed, then overtaking around the outside is going to be very difficult. But yeah, whatever the situation, the decision is, I'll just adapt my driving to it. So I'm fine with both (penalty or no penalty)” Leclerc explained.Several hours?!
There's a number of 5-10 minute videos on YouTube that will tell them all they need to know!
Eloquently put.don't see that going away not whilst he has marko and Horner blowing smoke up his arse every minute of the day
Eloquently put.
W.B. Yeats? Am I right?
No, please quote cheap, illiterate, Anglo knob-heads. Otherwise folks might think you're praising Marzipan...look if you want me to only quote classic literature during Sundays race i will endeavor to cooperate
most of it will be from Russian authors as they know how to properly discribe hatred and dispair
For a challenge, I read every published word of Joyce. I've never been the same since.(No I haven’t read Ulysses don’t be daft.)
She is, of course, entirely correct.ahh tbf have commitments myself in the afternoon so shall be a well behaved bunny with a early race start

Credit [to] news conference moderator Tom Clarkson for provoking an off-beat moment with Daniel Ricciardo, catching him off guard by asking him if he knew that honey badgers - the animal from which he has his self-appointed nickname - lived in Qatar.
Ricciardo paused. “I’m going to say yes because of course I know everything about my spirit animal.” Another pause. “One did not (know). Does that mean I might see one for the first time?”
And then a twist: “My dream is to walk into the paddock once with a honey badger on a leash. Like, just as if it’s my pet. That would be the coolest thing in the world. Before I leave F1, I wanna do that. So if anyone knows or owns a honey badger that can help, that would be cool.”
There was a follow-up question from the floor - given the honey badger’s fearsome reputation, did he really think that was a good idea? Can honey badgers even be domesticated?
He laughed. “I feel like I have a supporter in you,” he said. “So, thank you. Well, we should test that theory. The leash would have to be robust, for sure. It could not be a chihuahua leash. Definitely something heavyweight. Domesticated? I hope the person who offers the honey badger will have it trained and it’ll be OK. It’d be a scene, a sight to see. Be there for it.”
As things stand and going on recent history, would Bottas interpret that order as Mercedes would like?so you can just run other cars off the road with Immunity
