Lol Vettel binned the car during the warm up lap on the first day of wet weather testing. The car is so badly borked that Ferrari don't know if they can even do the second day.

Toyota were on for their maiden 24 hours of Le Mans victory and crapped out in the dying minutes of the race. Thankfully, 1500quid has a much more suitable av/title combo now.
They lead the race for about 14 hours and then the car dropped dead on literally the LAST LAP. I don't think they even finished. And then Sky F1 commentators thought it was funny to mock Anthony Davidson who was a driver in that car. One reason on top of a Mount Everest of others why I watch Nothing But Commercials when I could stream Sky online.

That Toyota stopping right by the pits is burned in my mind as much as Alboreto standing in his burning Ferrari as it rolls down pit lane. It's just one of those iconic motorsport moments that's going to stay with me.

They didn't. They'd done enough laps for 3rd, but you have to finish the last lap at a certain speed to be classified.

Imagine feeling the need to white night for Ant Davidson. I think he is probably just fine being joshed by his mates (who probably expressed their condolences when it happened because he is their friend)

Yeah I'm thinking the same this year, but the podium will be mental if RBR have their poo poo together and Danny makes a break for it.

Nothing wrong with Mark's KERS, it was the clutch he seemed to have a lot of trouble with..

Guys I think we've really turned it around and we're well on our way to that 15 quality posts goal.

They have to be consecutive as well. So if we get to 14 quality posts in a row then someone says "Vercrappen" we have to start over.

In other news, notoriously resilient driver John Pablo Montoya has said that European drivers are mentally weak. (I actually agree with a few of his points I just feel that if European drivers are mentally weak then that spells bad news for all the other drivers.)

Also :laffo: he span on the warmup lap once. Also NASCAR.

Nando and Vettel are the mentally strong ones whilst having their radio meltdowns? When will JPM just admit he blew his F1 shot and couldn't hang and had to go crawling back to the US?

Wait, the English aren't European? They're just English? I thought that was considered part of Europe.

Even before Brexit the English got very annoyed about meeting people who could read maps. They think they invented maps so it's suddenly "not on" when other people know where countries are in the world.

I'll be going again this year. Went last year after having about 8 years off attending. And I only went last year due to scoring a free ticket. But I've just bought a GA ticket for this year to go with some mates.

Will only be going on the Sunday :)

Hamilton hasn't had a residence in the UK for 10 years, so he's European (Switzerland, then/now Monaco).
Jolylolypop man is a robot or something so he doesn't count.
