Would still be better than captain Salah or KDB somehow

Life meant I missed the deadline and now have 4 red flags and no DGWers. Ranking going to take a beating this week I think

Pretty much everyone else in my team has blanked so far but captaining Ronaldo alone has made the FH worth it. I could only fit one of Kane and Salah in with CR and Bruno and I picked Kane, hopefully Salah doesn't make me regret that too much.

When the number of female drivers in grassroots motorsport becomes high enough for actual proper representation I think the main factor holding them back from F1 will be physical strength. Hearing how much Hulkenberg struggled with his neck in Bahrain really highlighted how demanding the sport is. He's driven 100s of races and is 80kg+, if he's struggling (even with two years off) then it will be hard for someone without his physical advantages to cope with. Definitely not impossible though, I am 100% certain there is a female driver out there today with higher ceiling than what Mazepin showed last season so would be a more worthy holder of that seat.

Underrated actor these days, although he is getting on a bit. Falling Down is also excellent. It's almost a deadpan black comedy.

Great name that. I've not seen much of the W Series but a competitive female driver at a high level would be fantastic for motorsport.

I watched that at my mate's house at about 2am when I was 12. There were 3 of us and we all pretended it wasn't that scary but I legitimately nearly **** myself walking the ~50m home afterwards. Spoke to one of them about it a few years ago and much to both of our amusements was pleased to learn it scared him even more than it scared me. I think we'd been lulled into a false sense of security by the fact that most horror films we'd watched up until that point were pretty terrible.

Ah bloody hell, just Googled it. Completely missed that one. Even by celebrity predator standards that's a big yikes.

I am aware that this is not an all time classic, or even a particularly good film but everything visual about The Man from UNCLE just puts me in a good mood every time I watch it. The locations, the warm colour scheme, the cast, the wardrobe and the vehicles are very aesthetically pleasing. It doesn't take itself too seriously and has enough action to not get boring. Nowhere near as quotable or funny as most of Ritchie's stuff but weirdly it's probably the one I most enjoy watching.

I think the average fleet emissions regulations killed the notion of an entire brand being aspirational about 10 years ago. There is someone near me who has one of those Aston Martin rebadged Toyota iQs. I'm guessing the most popular models by a distance on your Auto Trader search were the A1 and A3 for Audi. Seems like more than half I see on the road are one or the other, which are essentially the Polo and the Golf with Audi badges. Seems like VW-Audi Group build and sell a variation from almost every brand in their collection of every new model platform they release these days. I'm just waiting for them to announce a Lamborghini version of the A6 Avant.

I haven't seen OUATIH but if it's even nearly as bad as Death Proof I'll give it a miss. It didn't look like my thing but The Shape of Water dominated the Oscars a few years ago so on that basis alone I gave it a shot. I shouldn't have bothered.

The best bits of DtS are the behind the scenes sniping from the team principals when something unexpected happens. There were no midseason bombs dropped so S4 was a bit light on content. The only major driver move was Mr Saturday to Merc and we couldn't have any sniping between the people who were involved because it was basically all controlled by Toto.

Wordle 276 4/6

I did this a few years ago and haven't ridden one on the road since. I only did it because all the superbike track days require one. Worth. Just the few lessons learning on the roads and the tests were enough to confirm my suspicions that the awareness level of a sizeable portion of UK drivers isn't something I would want to trust my life to. It's scary enough trusting them from the relative safety of my absolute boat of an A6.

This response is far too measured. I started sharpening my pitchfork as soon as sectors started going purple at random. Some of the errors were so bizarre I can only imagine it's a software/UI issue. There was one point where it cut to a midfield battle and the two names that it showed on screen as being in this battle were Kevin Magnussen and err... Kevin Magnussen. Hopefully they are ironing out the kinks this week. It seemed like the weekend was the first time it had been tested.

Spot on, and add the fact that for about 10 laps all running order graphics were removed completely and the only graphic we got was F1 RACE in big letters. Gee thanks, it's an F1 RACE is it? Didn't realise. Say no more

Well they've completely **** up the on screen graphics so far this season but helmet cam is **** brilliant

6 car battle at the front and then an 8 car battle for the formula 1.5 title. The only casualties so far seem to be the Merc customer teams. The McLarens were painful to watch.

VAR in perfect working order there. We're lucky the Arsenal badge doesn't have the same gravitas it used to or Mings would've been off too

Lol are you pretending that Schumacher didn't have the a similarly good car for his 5 titles in a row? The F2004 was one of the most dominant cars of all time and that was with Barichello not Rosberg in the other car. Senna got less points than Prost in both seasons they had as teammates, not sure why you want to pretend otherwise.

Sorry this is just an awful take. 2007 Kimi won the championship and arguably the most talented driver on the grid (your words) Alonso got beaten by his rookie teammate Hamilton. Everyone loses to their teammates sometimes, Alonso lost to Hamilton, Schumacher lost to Piquet as a newbie and Rosberg as a vet, Senna lost to Prost (would've been repeatedly using every result in the season). Hamilton lost 2016 because he had more DNFs than Rosberg, who himself is a great underrated driver who hammered Schumacher at 40 (which Alonso has proved is not too old). Without the engine failure from the lead in Malaysia he'd have won that season by miles. Really seems like you're letting your emotions about him as a person hinder your ability to see that he's one of the all time great drivers. The unquestionable bit especially seems like just emotional hatred. Fwiw a lot of the drivers seem to think Jim Clarke is GOAT but it's honestly possible to make a case for about 10 people. Definitely not unquestionable either way. PS - The 99% the car is also rubbish. If that was the case no two teammates would ever be more than 1% apart even if they were the best driver ever and my nan.

If I'd have known about Raphinha, Kilman and Ramsdale I'd have FH. Apparently all 3 were leaked before the deadline I just didn't have the time to look. Ended up with 49 and a drop in rank of about 1,200 so it could've been worse

I think I can see the problem, you've only watched 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2019. If you'd seen any other seasons you'd have seen his main rivals be in red cars as well as his debut season where he beat his reigning two time world champion teammate. I don't really ever root for Hamilton since he left McLaren but the attempt at belittling his career is bordering on parody. Without the first and third paragraphs I'd think your post was satire.

Surely it's not an aero problem for all of their customers as well, they're basically all at the back lol. Would have to be the mother of all coincidences for the issue not to be engine related. If it does have enough power then there is some problem with deploying it.
