I at least know what Bottas looks like and what he does.

I saw Stroodel on camera yesterday and can't remember what he looks like.

I thought that was Bottas.

Bottas is the most russian henchman from a james bond movie looking dude on the grid.

Anyway, so, during races, I'm going to be a bit lenient on punishing rivals.com puns, especially if the target really, really fucks up (such as: if Lewis puts it into the wall for no reason, I'm not going to object to Poois because that is really lovely driving).

But only during races. Any others will get the wheel.

What's on the wheel? That's for me to know and you to find out :evilbuddy:

I'm telling you its just a mannequin in a race suit. The car is driven by RC. They couldn't actually find a second driver for that Honda.

The first one is just some dude,

the second one is a mannequin (so I'm guessing that's the waffle)

and the third guy I have no loving idea but I'm guessing future or present sex offender.

Better question, how many cars do we lose in the turn 1 clusterfuck after a standing start on a wet track?

Morning all. With hosed up imternet I'm actually quite pleased this is on now so I don't have to go around later confiscating all other internet capable devices for the duration of the race and then have background whining.

Where's the nearest golf course? I have to shit.
Ahahaha they were showing Alonso and Stoffel playing doubles ping pong, Alonso does an under the leg trickshot, and when the return comes to Stoff he hits it almost 90 degrees straight off the table. If that isn't demonstrative of the giant canyon of talent and experience between them I don't know what is.

Lewis is still a wanker but it should be noted that he's stopped loving off to the front of the bus and ignoring the fans this season.

He and Palmer didn't lift properly under double yellows, they showed the footage and although he did technically lift the crash was in a place where safely lifting would have been to hit the brakes and drive very carefully round the crash.

There's a haint in the foothills of NC; the haint of the #3 chevy. The rich have formed a holy alliance to exorcise it but they'll never fucking catch him.

Palmer lifted for the flag, and then floored it while grabbing gears right beside the crash, completely misunderstanding the purpose of the flags.
