Fernando Alonso running an esports team sums up just how terrible McLaren's year has been. It's like he's wondering the paddock looking for anything to take his mind off the fact that Honda are trash.

If Season 2 is going to be as good as all the teasers so far for it then it looks like tehy really took all the Season 1 criticism to heart and we're in for a treat.

quote:

Retiring Formula 1 driver Felipe Massa has been put forward by Brazil to be the country's representative on the World Motor Sport Council.

The Williams driver, a veteran of 268 grand prix starts, will leave F1 at the end of the season but expects to continue racing in other series.

Massa is also believed to have spoken to FIA president Jean Todt regarding using his expertise to assist the governing body.

Speaking to reporters in Abu Dhabi, Todt said he would be interested in working with Massa in the future and is considering how he can integrate the Brazilian.

"Brazil have applied to be a member of the World [Motor Sport] Council and their candidate is Felipe Massa," said Todt.

"So it will be up to the General Assembly [which meets next month]. I may have some other ideas for him. I still have 10 days to see if he's interested.

"I take of my hat to Felipe. Incidentally, it was my son's birthday last week. Felipe is like my second son, he's a great boy.

"He's stepping away from F1. It's sad to step out. He's still very motivated to race so I'm sure he'll find some good way of still racing. If he can bring some contribution to motorsport, he would be a great asset."

It is understood one role that is being considered for Massa is a driver ambassador-type role, utilising his extensive and current experience in F1.

Massa told Motorsport.com he is keen to discuss potential opportunities with Todt as he shapes his future plans beyond F1.

"I have some ideas of what I will do," he said. "I will do some other stuff, maybe coming to a few races to do some different jobs and trying to use my experience.

"Maybe I can be getting a bit closer to the FIA. [An FIA role] would interest me.

"My experience definitely helps, not only by being a person who knows about motorsport, but also by being a driver who has raced for very long, from go-karts up to F1.

"We [he and the FIA] should have some meetings, some ideas and then we'll see what is going to happen."

American Truck Simulator/Euro Truck Simulator 2 is a zen game where you put on a podcast/audiobook/music, chill and haul some poo poo.

I'm hauling a 185k lb transformer oversize load using the entry level Kenworth truck with some heavy cargo upgrades from Phoenix to some gently caress off place in New Mexico and it's great.

The American heavy haul is weird because they add an extra articulated dolly which makes everything harder although I do like the challenge. Euro heavy haul gives you trailers with steerable axles which makes everything so much easier.

Hulk is WDC worthy and always has been. He's now part of an actual manufacturer team and with Renault reinforced, refunded and on an upward trajectory he's gonna be WDC sooner rather than later with Sainz playing a good support role as that's all Sainz is really good for.
