Pay reporters pay-reportering on pay drivers... If the rest of the world was as dumb as F1 someone would be pay-barristaing you a skinny latte while you contemplate unemployment due to the fact that some affluent lump of poo poo dropped 6 figures to get your insurance adjustment job. :what:

Useless information what is in my head: The Joe Seward drama.

Joe Seward was Bernie's pet for years and years, he got given the official F1 magazine to run and then royally hosed it up. Bernie took revenge by allowing him press credentials but made it clear that there would be consequences if any major newspaper hired him. This left him with one lovely column in auto trader and his blog, and he has to go to races on his own dime.

The Beach Buggy special is terrible.

Why can't they just look back at the early specials around the time they did the 1500 quid Porsche special or the cheap Italian super car challenge and realize the best bits is emergent like holy gently caress.

Same reason they screwed up the Grand Tour. Budget doesn't create success, on screen chemistry and doing actually funny stuff creates success.

One of my favourites is the cheap super car special en route to Spearmint Rhino. Back when you could buy proper exotica for peanuts.

E: I loved the Patagonia special though. That was brilliant.

Massa's weighing in with his typically garbage opinions: https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/ferrari-success-shows-you-can-win-without-newey-massa-901005/

Totally ignoring the fact that Newey's cars only win when there's some kind of fuckery going on that nobody else has cottoned on to.

I think it was a good-dude move for him to help his old teammate pick up his first win. On the other hand if someone pulled that crap to help Hamilton I'd be pissed so I guess I'm just a hypocrite. OH WELL.

Given that that would require an ex teammate of Lewis' to actually like him, I think we're safe.
