What was the impact speed?

From guesswork, it's about 120mph.

The car in front has touched wet grass on the outside and spun, barely 3 seconds later Billy's group arrived.

You would. All of her teammates well beat her last year. Including the one would was retiring and only did 3/4 of the races. She did not finish in the top 10 of a single race, all 3 of her full time teammates won at least 1.

Big John actually got better after having a kid

"better" is a relative term. He stopped crashing into people so much. The idea is that once a F1 driver has a kid they suddenly have something to live for and so start driving like a granny. Especially if they have a near miss like Massa. I prefer my F1 drivers isolated, alone and unloved so that they can concentrate on driving. I don't mind if they have a few comforts: Lewis has his dogs, Alonso has his Japanese love pillow etc.

Seb has 2 kids and he's Super. The Studliest at the Scud.

I'm not exactly sure why Seb manages to be an OK driver right now while having kids but I suspect it's because he's German and would sacrifice his children to Satan if it got him a faster car for the season. (Not saying I disapprove).

He sold his soul to an energy drinks conglomerate and the only way for him to outrun his demons is to drive faster than them.

He's level pegging with Kevin Magnussen this season. If there's a universal indicator for "poor F1 driver" I feel like that would be it.

SHR has fielded probably the best car on track since 2014 with Kevin Harvick, but the rest of the team has been inconsistent at best.

She's not having Lewis baby, hope that helps.

Originally all Lego people were yellow, but now some lines have skin tones because of all the licensed stuff they do. It's not correct that yellow=caucasian, but it is odd that they chose not to go with the skin colour minifigs for these models. But then they got the Petronas colour all wrong too, so who knows? Low effort branding, probably added late in the design process. My guess is Lego designed an F1 set and then did a deal with Mercedes to brand it.
