Hamilton jumps 3 places!

 

Rash from Max.

 

Lewis has just lapped Bottas. What a drive from Lewis today. Nightmare for Bottas though.

 

Charles also has had a storming race.

 

Well that was bloody great. Brilliant from Lewis. Incredible from Charles (though such a shame for him that last lap). Well done to Seb too for reminding us he has still got talent.

 

Charles really is too hard on himself!

 

Don't forget Checo

 

Absolutely. Stellar drive.

 

Tiger woods is overrated

 

Ha! That’s nothing - took me 10 to get out of a bunker once! This guy’s a lightweight!

 

Fuji couldn’t play France on Sunday, so now the international Rugby union have awarded the game to France by 28-0.
Yet, South Africa refused to play any games in the Southern Hemisphere rugby championship on the basis that Covid had affected their preparation and nothing was done. If the IRFU gave all those games 28-0 to their opponents, England would go to the top of the world rankings ....

 

Is that the mountain or camera? Sorry.

 

A nice story about a couple refusing to sell their family home, to the Augusta National golf course, despite receiving offers in seven figures, for a property valued at around a quarter of a million.
Might help that the DID sell another property to them for more than $1 million, but everything seems to be very gentlemanly.

Brilliant interview with Lewis Hamilton from Stephen Colbert on the Late Show. I think I’m liking Lewis more and more as he gets older.

Don’t you find that happens in life more and more.

So many sportsmen I have disliked, then they hit 35-40 and I love them.

maybe I’m just getting old lol.

 

Yeah, me too. 100%. I admire what he’s trying to do enormously, and the amount of crap he gets from idiots makes me want to defend him too!

 

There are others whose brilliance on the pitch is belied by their post career behaviour.

 

As we approach the end of the year, and nominations start pouring in for this year's awards, the two obvious candidates appears to be Rashford and Hamilton. Team of the year, Exeter Chiefs for their amazing treble!

 

It should be Marcus, but, given the Beeb’s right wing leanings and the fact that their controller (MD?) is, reputedly, a pal of De Pfeffel, I wouldn’t be surprised to see him sidelined ....

 

Blimey, Dave.
If Johnson has any influence his cabinet will win team of the year and Patel will win the main prize.
But, bringing it back on track, I agree that Marcus should stroll it, (but it might go to a recount.)
