You know that thing you do when you have been cornered by someone at a social event and you can't get away, so you try to signal "helpmeeeeee" to your friend with your eyes?

No the problem is that IWC makes some watches that aren't awful but he's still wearing the 46mm awful ones.

I just got my first watch at 31. It was $10USD. I often wonder if it looks "too fancy"

I am actually excited to see Bottas in the Mercedes as it gives us all a chance to re-calibrate our poo poo-o-meters. I had Bottas pegged at Hulkenberg level, slightly above "the Heidfeld line of mediocrity" on his day. So I'd expect Bottas to win on days where Mercedes are way ahead of the competition and Lewis has a mechanical failure of some kind. Anything more than that and I might disturbingly have to start re-assessing some of the other drivers with higher ratings which would be distressing for all of us. Imagine having to define Massa as "Not entirely garbage".

I have a wild theory that Bottas has been playing the long game and is actually fuelled by ambition and rage.

There's a joke there about "standing still" being the natural state of the current Mclaren-Honda cars. But yes, it looks fantastic.

So the car is called "RM50/3"? I suppose its good they removed "MP4" which was always a ron dennis thing.

Gasly is headed to Super Formula. Nakajima Racing most likely. It's a Honda team.

I think SF might become a dumping ground for GP2 graduates not quite ready for F1. Should help the series if anything.

The RM50/3 is a hideous watch they are promoting. They confirmed a few days ago MP4 isn't going

Speaking of young drivers: Italian press is full of bitching from over entitled ex-Ferarri young drivers at the moment. Sounds like arrivabene did a mass cull, but he wont hold them back oh no, there are plenty of other teams and series they can go to instead.

Not sure whining at the Ferarri team principal for calling you personally to tell you the news is the right way to go about that one lads.
