  1. If I was Jean-Eric, I would be looking elsewhere for a drive. Why would you stay at Toro Rosso after a 17 year old rookie takes your seat mid season, and then when a seat at Red Bull does come up, they take the younger driver with less points than you. If Ricciardo happens to leave in the next year or so then you have to assume that they'll take Verstappen and put him in there, so if I was him I'd be out of there where you might actually get a better drive.

    But the question is, where does he go?

  2. Well that was a dull race. I was on my phone for most of the middle of it doing other stuff which hasn't happened before.

    A dominant win for Lewis though, he deserves this title so much. 9 wins compared to Rosberg's 4, plus 3 DNF's where he had a great chance at winning those, plus Qualy issues mid-season which hampered some races.

    It is crazy to think though that if Lewis wins the next two races in Austin and Brazil, and Nico gets 2nd in Abu Dhabi with Lewis retiring that Rosberg will be champion with 4 wins compared to Lewis' 11. That would not be right.

    I think it was the tyres that made the race dull, because the track clearly has the potential for producing great racing, just look at GP2 and GP3. I think a safety car would have really spiced it up a bit too.

  3. Just watched an interview with Bernie and Martin Brundle. Martin asked him something like 'We need to keep the old classics like Silverstone, Monza, Hockenheim and Spa, don't we?' to which Bernie replied 'We need to keep some of the old traditional events, but the trouble with them is they want to operate in the old traditional way. They need to come into the new world and start doing a bit more promotion and being a bit more commercial'.

    That may be true for Hockenheim with it's not even half filled grandstands, but look at Melbourne, Silverstone, Suzuka and Spa. Definitely the top for the best attended races of the year, they don't do a bad job of promoting the Grand Prix! What about the dreary Chinese GP crowds, and Korea last year? How about you come into the new world Bernie and give us an actual YouTube channel where you upload stuff to promote Grands Prix? What about a regularly updated Twitter account, or Facebook page? 

  4. Talking of Mike booking flights for his house party, I wound up a mate a while back over a party he was having, and he actually thought I was being serious :p 

    Cut a long story short, I told him he had to pay for the flights, accommodation and food of my fake extended family of 50 in America who I invited to his party.

    If I can find the Emails I'll share them.
