I don't know what was going through either drivers head but if it was deliberate there is only one driver who made a last second change that brought the cars together and that driver was not Hamilton. Apportioning blame is one thing but you'd have to be some kind of one eyed Hamilton hating individ...

Is this the right thread to mention that Trump's court has cut the balls off the EPA un-elected bureaucrats don’t get to assume vast powers that Congress never intended them to have, based on nothing more than their own say-so.

I've said before Piquet was and remains a very, very unpleasant human being and it's also perfectly possible that his daughters relationships affect his judgement.

I'd be interested to know how OSHA determine what makes a job dangerous. 60,000 LEOs assaulted in 2020 with 31% of those injured. It's clearly not a walk in the park. Determined by deaths on the job. Last year the main leading cause of death for police in the US was covid. Actually, if one used the...

So 21 year old Vips used the n-word while playing COD and loses his entire livelihood despite apologising profusely. It's insanity frankly, but I'm sure he'll be back in good time. Nah he's done.

My wife and I sold our marital home in the summer of 1988, just before the MIRAS scheme that allowed unmarried couples DOUBLE tax relief on mortgage interest was shut down by then chancellor Nigel Lawson, a threat that fuelled a house price boom in the preceeding 6 months.

The spirit of Tracing Point is alive and well The FIA investigation into Aston's 'B' car cleared them of any copyright infringement, mostly because they had wind tunnel test data & video from the 'new' side pods dating back to November 2021...

For the past year 40% of the UK's electricity generation was by fossil fuel. So actually not too bad here. This statement is so risibly, laughably inaccurate it would be a joke except the writer probably believes it. Renewable energy anywhere in the world runs at about 30% of name plate capacity, t...

To jump in on this thread, I'm looking to buy a 2015 Prius on Friday. Anyone have any experience? We have a 2012. It’s a grand car, we’ve driven it the length and breadth of California, used it camping, school runs, etc. it’s small, by US standards. If you've used a Prius to drive the length and br...

Please stop with the sidepod "wide versus narrow" argument, it's not pertinent, see below, again Not everything is aerodynamically obvious.

Track looks potentially shite. Not sure there’s going to be much over-taking but I’m no expert. There are 3 good overtaking opportunities every lap, wish every track had the same. Having said that, there was more excitement in the W Series race last lap than there normally is in an entire Grand Prix

Steiner's 200m against a 5.6m/s headwind was impressive but what blew my mind was her 10.92 100m after an awful start, her rivals look like they standing still over the last 50m, impossibly fast cadence

Raducanu demolishes Kostyuk 6-2 6-1 in easily her best performance since the US Open.

Great clay court tennis against a player who had the better of her in the juniors and played Raducanu off the court in Romania.

Raducanu now has 5 wins to 2 losses on clay.

Becker jailed for 2.5 years

Raducanu wins 11 of 12 games from 2-5 down against Martincova to win 7-6 6-0

Next she faces junior rival Kostyuk who demolished her 6 months ago 6-2 6-1 in Romania

More good, clean racing from Verstappen & Leclerc with the latter using up his tyres too early allowing the former to come back at him on the penultimate lap.

Swiatek wins her 22nd match in a row 6-4 6-4 over Raducanu who takes more games from the world No 1 than any player in her last 10 matches.

Given that clay is Swiatek's preferred surface and the match was Raducanu's 3rd ever at WTA level on this type of court, Raducanu is making progress.

Sainz may well come to regret that error, even if a number of others (here's looking at Lando) did exactly the same! Should Leclerc win the sprint Ferrari may well decide that a 2 race lead in the points is worth defending and compromise Sainz for Leclerc going forward. Hamilton's body language was ...
