Grand Slam in F1 is specifically winning by leading a race from pole and getting fastest lap. Bottas didn't get it because Lewis led during pit stops

Thought it was Pole, Win and Fastest lap tbh

A grand slam in rugby union was historically when one of five nations beat all the other (that would be four) nations. Now that Italy has joined the definition had to change to five, when it used to be four.

Four.

Not now, it's 5 FIVE and it's still a grand slam.. not an ultra slam or anything else

The thing is: when AUDI motorsport chief yelled "Timo, schieb in raus" (Timo (Scheider), push him off) into the mic, it was what most non-Mercedes fans felt watching the race. The way Mercedes drove to get Wehrlein to champion was disgusting (in this scene, Wehrlein was just given another spot from another Mercedes driver that then started to block Timo Scheider). To the point, that Ex-Mercedes-Motorsport-Chief Norbert Haug - who is a drat cool guy, super defensive when it comes to Mercedes to not come across as a hurt bitch because Wolf threw him out...he's just supercool - even started to question the motives of Mercedes. That DTM season was disgusting imo. The Audi sport chief who instructed Timo Scheider to kick Wehrlein off got a live-long probation from DTM pit-lane (allthough he appeared again this year) and of course was relieved of his position at AUDI DTM Motorsports operation.

I am a loving big BMW fan, but if some other team wins fair and square, it's all good, and I even had tears in my eyes this year applauding Rene Rast for winning the DTM for AUDI in an Audi (and I hate AUDI and Audis), but the way Wehrlein won simply wasn't impressive imo. Mercedes had an awesome car that year, a very good driver with Wehrlein, and then decided it is appropriate to make the seven other Mercedes drivers Wehrlein's bitch after about two or three races (of ten).

Brundle is obnoxious but no where near a level warranting hatred and castration.

Never forget Jonathan Legard who flew way too close to the sun. Peaked with F1 and also had his career destroyed by it.

My colleague met Brundle at a charity function before he even got the Sky gig.. Apparently he was a self important oval office, John Surtees was also there and was such a nice fella

You're right, Brundle was OK. I think given the opportunity Herbert had in the Benetton, he would have done better. It's a shame he's become quite an insufferable toad over the past few years

I thought Schumacer forced Herbert out of the Benetton team as he saw him as a threat

If you are Canadian and don't think Lance Stroll is amazing and a national treasure then you can gently caress off.

'Chicks' only being seen in F1 as objects to be leered at is a very visible sign of the entrenched sexism in motorsports, and taking a stand on it is worth doing, even though there are worse things happening. It doesn't have to be one or the other.

F1 teams have been doing a good job getting better representation of women in all departments (except on track so far), and having 1950s 'glamour' is just a bit pathetic and out of date

Grid kids it is! Look forward to Spa then
