George Russell P1 in quali 

[Giles]

I'll give you first row, P1 is a big ask

[louisbosco]

multi tasking..

[louisbosco]

@Giles quite a close split between Russell and Bottas. but spot on from you..

still quite a stellar performance from George. all things considered, it's not his car, not fitted for him and only had a day or so driving it. I'm looking forward to his first podium in F1

[louisbosco]

nice to see Mercedes fuck up. but when George is winning, it's painful 

[louisbosco]

I don't care what anyone says. George Russell won that race! 

ONE FUCKING JOB MERCEDES. ARGHHH!!!

"On Sunday, Toto described their loss in Abu Dhabi as "a slap on the wrist". In that sense, beating Mercedes in this manner at the last race of the season might just have been the worst thing Red Bull could have done."

Dakar 2021 just wrapped up and argentine Kevin Benavides took top motorbike honors!

During Dakar 2018 we shared a full day watching the race in the peruvian desert with Kevin’s personal support team: psychologist, masseuse, dietician (in # 47 tshirts), his father (in plain navy tshirt) and an IH groupie wearing:

ihsh 159 yellow ombre
Ih marl grey tee
Ih 888S superblack 21 oz

BRILLIANT…

Anyone else excited about the 2021 F1 season? It's going to be fascinating to see how Alonso performs after 2 years out, not to mention Lando v Ricciardo! Oh, and Sainz in the Ferrari.. and Aston Martin unveiling their F1 livery..can't wait!
And for anyone who hasn't watched it, Drive to Survive (Netflix) is a great watch.

[Giles]

You bet…......

Cannot wait for the season to start! Really interested to see Lando v Ricciardo, but might be more intrigued by Verstappen v Checo. I don’t think anyone truly challenges the Mercs but it might be a little more interesting if Checo can pull his weight.

[chiverus]

@Jcourt you’re right! I wonder if Checo will get close to Max? Would bust the max myth if he did 

[Giles]

I'm hoping he does.  I am not disputing Max's talent as a driver, I just think he's a twat…

A massive one! He makes super ignorant and retrograde comments in the cockpit, never apologises, and Horner just humours him like a toddler

Murray Walker has passed away at 97.

The voice of F1 who actually loved motorcycle racing most.

Ride free lovely man.

Something new I learned today regarding F1 (Article from BBC discussing Mercedes and Red Bull).

_“Trackside engineering director Andrew Shovlin added: "The wind made it tricky. When the wind is behind the car, you lose a lot of downforce because effectively the air speed is reduced.

"So, some corners where the wind was behind, it was prone to doing that, and then also the tyres are quite easy to overheat on that circuit and if you start sliding, you tend to lose grip and it gets worse. So, there are a few problems.”_

[Giles]

Yeah, wind is an absolute bastard for those boys….
