He's 6 seconds off the pace, 4th from bottom and the three people below him have either only done shakedown laps or not done a lap at all.




So a huge improvement over Massa and Stroll. Looks like I'm getting probated.

People are saying that Williams must have signed Kubica because he's running a red light instead of a green one (meaning he must have a super license, that Williams must have sorted for him). Is this an actual thing or just reddit being reddit?

I am glad to be alongside my avatar-sake Andrew Benson in doubting the Kube can make a return to F1. I fully expect to remain un-toxxed when Williams make their decision to appoint Di-Resta to the seat.

Driving is very enjoyable and maybe if you drove an enthusiast model like a Toyota Corolla S you would enjoy driving more

Driving from A-B is not enjoyable due to the car though once you have the requisite levels of comfort etc. Driving is enjoyable due to scenery or company or destination.

Driving on a track is very exciting but in neither of these situations will I be thinking "cor blimey a Toyota Corrolla? Sign me up"

Fuckin what? Dunkirk is only the latest in a series of great Nolan films. I can't overhype how awesome Tom Hardy is as a Spitfire pilot. It couldn't be any more inspiring if his plane was towing a "Lewis 4x WDC" banner as he shoots down Vettel. I mean Nazis.

Dunkirk is a needlessly convoluted film with entirely forgettable characters. Michael Bay could make a better WW2 movie.

Yeah what a try-hard movie Dunkirk was. What does it want. Praise? Fuckin lol. Anything that isn't an honest working class movie is Oscar wank bait and should be dismissed.

Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to go back to a good HONEST movie like transformers with its fart jokes and statutory rape defense.

Lewis will at best come third to Anthony Joshua and Mo Farah. I’m going to take a wild guess that the man with four championships and a knighthood, without the benefit of a entire factory worth of people helping him is going to win.

The confusion and rage in the comments sections from his fans when they work out that they can’t accuse anyone of racism is going to be glorious.

F1 is a stupid sport for idiots, we're under no illusions of this.

However it is approximately 1000% more legitimate than boxing and athletics.

That's the leading theory. A handful of F1 journalists know but when prompted they love making a song and dance of rubbing it in everyone's faces that they know and won't tell you. Whatever it is, it was serious or dark enough that it was an unspoken rule to keep it secret, leading to all of these theories. Most center around a relationship with a senior Ferrari figure's relative, with caveats like ranging from underage to drugs being involved. Even people on F1 forums who supposedly know will insist on telling you via PM, though whether it's because there's legal implications or they want to feel special is anyone's guess.

Yes but Brundle has turned Sky into a terrible old boys club and made it preferable to watch F1 with the sound off. Those others were just temporary bastards, Brundle’s damage is lasting. Listen to any old F1 race with Walker commentating and you can immediately tell how poo poo the commentary has become today.

You pay for sky and are therefore way more responsible than Brundle for the poo poo commentary we have now.
