An amusing article on the BBC website today about how Red Bull own a team in the Bundesliga (RB Leipzig) and they are the most hated team in football. In fact they're so disliked that one German newspaper doesn't even name them in the league tables, instead putting "Dosenverkauf" - can sellers.

Lewis will win every race, clinching the championship by Monza, where all the tifosi will repent from Ferrari and become Lewis fans. He will also win last year's championship after Rosberg admits he only won because of a conspiracy with Charlie Whiting (who didn't punish his cheating) and Niki Lauda (who sabotaged Lewis' car). Article 50 will make Great Britain the most successful country of all time. The EU will beg us to come back, offering a new membership where we don't pay anything but make all the decisions, but we will refuse

Zak Brown: Double Down

"It is hard-on livery," he said when asked if the team could have done a better job. "It was ultimately a dozen people involved in the whole process. We went through tonnes and tonnes of liveries and you got lots of different opinion.

First, that inappropriate language has no place in a family-oriented team. Second, Hack Clown has had half of McLaren waste weeks making his draft of the ugliest livery of all time a reality. Ron would have had them make a world championship-winning car but I guess that's not a priority anymore
