Have you seen it, the boats are on exactly the same thing as last year but there's a swimming pool nearby now, thus fixing the problem in a metaphor for the entire project.

This week it’s important to reflect on and appreciate the ways in which Baku has welcomed us. It’s hard to pick just one moment but Seb banging into Lewis behind the safety car is way up there.

Nic normally hangs around at the tail of the grid, his best result in 117 starts was a 15th and the only time he ever picked up a point. However in the second race he was one of the drivers to switch to wet tyres quickly, and finished 6th. Perhaps it was really Lewis in the car...

Nic has cerebral palsy and drives a modified car, it rules and I hope when Lewis finishes his f1 career in 2040 they can sort out a le mans program together

I've made a huge mistake.
He doesn't add much to the spectacle, but honestly, who of us if we were in his shoes of having a rich F1 champion brother wouldn't do exactly the same?

I like Nic being in BTCC because I've shared a track with him and was very close in laptime so now I pretend I'm as quick as anyone in BTCC.

I ignore all the issues with the above line, I'm basically champion.

Friday: Practice then Sprint qualifying
Saturday:Sprint race then GP qualy
Sunday race day

Leclerc's penalty was for control electronics right? So that theoretically is unaffected by this change.

If the Jacksonville Jaguars stadium for the NFL has taught us anything at all, it's that hot ladies will be in the pool, and the camera guy will switch to them when the racing gets boring.
