I wish they’d bloody get on with it.

 

11:30 I think is when ring walks are supposed to be

 

The Kiwis won the first 2 races. Of the Americas cup .

 

Kiwis now lead 3-0 . Today’s second race postponed until tomorrow .

best of 13 wins .

 

Kiwi’s have a 4-0 lead .

I hope we win at least one , but the Kiwis are bloody good , and IMHO their boat has the best colour scheme .

 

England won both races today .

Kiwis lead 4-2

 

The Kiwi’s won both of today’s races .

6-2 current score .

so the Kiwi’s need 1 more win to retain the Americas Cup .

GB needs to win 5 to win the cup for the first time ever .

 

Hamilton out in Q1. Ouch.

 

Sir Chris Hoy has announced he has terminal cancer .

Prostate cancer that has spread to his bones

 

Poor guy

 

George Russell ruins qualifying excitement, by doing a George Russell and putting it in the wall.

 

Little prediction before the event. I think Sainz and Leclerc will collide in the race tonight.

 

Not Lewis’s finest weekend.

 

Brilliant drive and win from Charles.

 

That may well be the final straw with Red Bull for Perez.

 

Verstappen with 20 seconds worth of penalties.

 

Thundery showers forecast all weekend at Interlagos for the Grand Prix and Sprint. Could be fun.....

 

As long as it's not too bad and they trundle around behind a safety car.

Max with a grid penalty too.

 

England v New Zealand! This should be a fascinating game. Although the All Blacks won the summer series, the gap on each occasion was small which suggests there might not be a lot to choose between them. I have loved NZ ever since Jonah Lomu played for them. That aside I feel England will win this afternoon. Whatever happens, both unions should ensure this is an annual event as both nations deserve to play each other on a regular basis!

 

Annoying that it clashes with the Saints game.
