    I keep saying. 3D Botmaker's "King Of The Mountain" on YouTube is the future of motorsport. Much better quality than F1.

    Good and fair column from Martin Brundle...

    https://www.skysports.com/f1/news/1...versial-f1-finale-as-lewis-hamilton-is-denied

    ... had to laugh had this bit he highlighted from the rules about the safety car though;

    "This will only apply to cars that were lapped at the time they crossed the Line at the end of the lap during which they crossed the first Safety Car line for the second time after the safety car was deployed"

    What do **** is that supposed to mean? <laugh>

    nothing cos its not in the rules. its not in the articles in question.

    drive two alps behind a safety car, ok understandable.

    Cars that were lapped. ok. those were clear

    passed the first safety car line and added to end of the lap smells like a get out.

    I see Jake Paul beat Woodley by knockout... real or paid off?

    The Paul's clearly have done boxing skills but neither are anywhere near top professional standard. Woodley conveniently dropped his guard for the knockout too.

    Joke of a PPV but if people are paying...

    Paid off.

    99% of his opponents are ot even real boxers.

    Get a bummed out UFC fighter who needs money to step in and pay him to roll over.

    This guy has been building a so called portfolio for 2 years and has not fought one real boxer.

    I'm fully sure the fury lad was paid to fake injury to drop out as well.

    It's the equivilant of wwe but freelance to a an audience developed through youtube.

    Question:

    Emma Raducanu has had a meteoric rise, unbelievable win and then almost immediately set about stripping out all sorts of supports/coaches etc an it looks like she is in awful trouble going into the next major, the Australian "keep out the boats" no-so-open.

    My question is has anyone had such a rise and fall in such a short space of time in tennis?

    Australia not a good place for British sport is it. Murray and Raducanu both knocked out by a qualifier and a lower ranked player respectively. A convict also beat an Englishman in the Maters snooker <laugh>

    who knows.

    What is fairly clear is there engines are not changing yet so Mercs have to be out in front again. Ferrari are making big engine noise as well.

    When there's car aero etc type changes you cannot discount newey ever.

    I would expect the bigger tyres and associated issues with suspension, the removal of large mounts of do-dads attached to the car as aero and the rear wing and tyre covers and front wing all required to drive air such that cars can "follow"

    I think personally the aero and suspension impacts are going to be huge and unpredictable. Someone is getting this right and someone very wrong.

    If I were a betting man I'd be betting of ferrari to screw up more than red bull with newey but it'll be interesting to see

    its the big noise about ferrari as per. it'll be fun seeing the real story..

    From what I've read, they need to make engine changes now because they're not allowed to change them again for 2-3yrs!

    Let's hope one or two other teams are also in the mix. A super competitive season would be even better to watch.

    I dunno but i think the red bull team are trying it on with honda to keep the badge so they can rebadge as audi or Porsche so they can get more credits to update the same engine as a "new maker"

    Merc is certainly ahead.
    Ferrari are talking big.
    but really its hard to know.

    I'd love to see McLaren (particularly Lando) and / or Aston Martin be competitive.

    well they use merc engines so should be doing better. in short the rest of the car is crap so the power is offset by that.

    its a clear opportunity to have the best engine and a much improved package but they are just as likely to **** it all up.
