Very sad. I support the Mission Winnow program and it seems that backward thinking Australia want youths to keep smoking and things like that.

Since my driver (Zellers) got knocked out I guess I'm rooting for The Chad now.
Also I went to a local car builder guy to see if he can weld some 90 year old British metal that broke on my bike (he couldn't because British metals are fraudulent) and he had this in his shop



Blood type after the driver and co-driver's names really sums up Group B.

Ferrari CEO Louis Camilleri confirmed the move at the Geneva Motor Show on Tuesday.

He said: "There were problems with the health department [in Australia] and there was no time for Philip Morris to find a solution.

"[Mission] Winnow is not a brand, it has nothing to do with tobacco, because it concerns the transition from tobacco to electronic [products].

Oh, ok, it doesn't have anything to do with tobacco it's just all about how you consume tobacco thus actually having something to do with tobacco. Glad we got this cleared up.

It was pretty common for race car drivers to have blood types on the driver suit for a long time, definitely a sign of the times.

Quite a few drivers had arrows on the helmet not only for style (as I thought) - they had the secondary effect of telling trackworkers which way their head was pointing.

They gave us CGI eagles and Heineken stars, and that one race were the drivers entered like wrestlers. Oh, and the new graphics, and F1TV. F1TV is kinda okay, allthough unreliable, but the rest was either poo poo or simply dropped instead of improved (the eagle, of course, not the wrestler entry).

The wrestler into was pure America, baby :911:

Baku is a perfectly good looking street course with an exciting layout, the only real problem is that it is in a fake petrostate with no motor racing heritage.

I haven't looked into their exact manifesto, but I assume they support human progress everywhere. Of course, some places need way more help than others, for example the EU.

Not from a lack of trying. It's like every year that talk of a grand prix at Losail props up.

I wouldn't be surprised if Abu Dhabi and Bahrain just lobby heavily against it behind the scenes.

Basically they had a pre existing plan to prevent human trafficking (which id love to see) for another race and wanted to just reuse it for F1 but they didn’t re-submit it and got owned
