The WEC season pretty much gets treated like a testing program for Le Mans by most manufacturers.

No, they spent the first half of the season saying "No really guys, we're totally doing the next one, honest." and then not turning up. They got one car through the 24 hours, bailed on the rest of the season to try and get ready for this year and then the program got canned.

Hi, do you guys know if anyone in the F1 press has asked the drivers whether they're going to VOTE LEAVE TOMORROW ? I hate to get political in this thread for the greatest sport on earth but it would really help me make out my mind if I knew whether the drivers will  VOTE LEAVE TOMORROW!!!!!!

Did you notice this years garage 56 entry? A quadriplegic guy driving a P2 car. And he finished. Now that's impressive.

Manual stick shift gearboxes are the answer guys. Imagine the number of transmissions wrecked during a race.

Austria is great because: A: its in Austria B: the layout doesn't suit Red Bull's cars or their philosophy, so despite Red Bull having their name plastered all over it they're never going to win this one and will look miserable every year at their "home" grand prix

Newey is a spent force and Red Bull is now like Ferrari in the 80s where they keep building good cars but the team infighting destroys any possibility of getting consistent good results. See: the last few races.

I just want them to get so bad that ricciardo can use the performance clause in his contract. Get on a team that doesn't steal men's souls.
