    A 16 year old Dutchman is being touted for an F1 seat next year. Max Verstappen, son of mid 90s/early 00s racer Jos Verstappen, is being courted by both Mercedes and Red Bull. Red Bull in particular are thought to be considering him for a seat in their junior F1 team, Toro Rosso.

    These F1 drivers keep getting younger and younger <yikes>

    Ah.......umm......yes.....we thought that we should use you for when she gets a bit bigger. Getting there though - the woman from The Guardian said she was 'mesmerising' and the guy from Q says "she's definitely got it", which ain't bad for a debut gig.

    It's upsetting about F1 that every year there seems to be one team that just completely dominates. This year it's Mercedes, last few years it has been Red Bull, and then before that Brawn. It'd be so much more interesting if there's one team that didn't dominate. That's why I'm glad in the last race there were three different teams on the podium. It also makes the Constructor's Championship dull, but no-one cares about that much anyway! (aside from my own personal interest in seeing how high Lotus can finish)

    Someone's not been watching the races this season. Yes Mercedes may be dominating, but they're doing what Red Bull didn't over the past few years, letting their drivers fight to the death. We've went into the summer break with possibly the most intriguing storyline I've ever witnessed in my time watching Formula 1. That is the battle between Hamilton and Rosberg.

    And I can't wait for it to recommence in a few weeks in Belgium. Not only is the Spa track amazing, but I'll actually be there :D

    Yeah, it has been an interesting season certainly, although it does seem the season's gonna be a two horse race but that's better than the one horse races of the last few seasons. Although didn't Mercedes tell Hamilton to make way for Rosberg in the last race? And of course Hamilton rightly said f** that.

    Salisbury City are (understandably) royally pissed off with the FA and the conference, and boy are they showing it.

    Club update
    Posted 5/8/2014

    Salisbury City are being monumentally stitched up by the FA and Conference which will ultimately lead to the demise of the football club.

    We were due to go before an independent appeals panel at 12pm today to challenge the Conference boards decision to throw us out of the league.

    Yet barely 24 hours before our case was due to be heard the independent chairman objected to our appeal on the grounds we were not the legal owners and therefore had no right to appeal even though we were due to appear in the High Court 24hrs later and claim ownership of the club unchallenged.

    The FA, who had taken the unprecedented step of hearing and appeal from two sets of owners because privately they claimed they feared being sued by a fraudulent Moroccan owner whose only contribution to the club was to walk off with £4,000 of fans money, have now cut off all communication with the club and their legal advisers.

    This whole process is a complete farce. There is nothing independent about this process.

    This is about football closing ranks and conspiring because they feel they are not accountable to anyone else accept themselves.

    The Conference board are a total disgrace governed by individuals with clear agendas against this club.

    Twice they entered Into negotiations with us making widespread demands we met including paying down all debts and putting up a £50,000 bond only to pull the plug on us at the 11th hours.

    Their general manager, Dennis Strudwick, sent a number of emails to former players criticising the club and their failure to pay down debts.

    While board member Colin Peake went out on blog sites and forums commenting on Salisbury.

    This is completely unacceptable and totally unprofessional.

    What these governing bodies have done is prejudice a board of directors whose only interest was to intervene and try and save their beloved football club.

    The Conference and FA can attempt to dress this up how they like but their atrocious, unaccountable actions are a disgrace, they are unfit to govern, they are a total embarrassment to the game they claim to represent.

    It is about time that these people were held accountable for their actions. Who the hell do they think they are?

    Because we are a small club in the great scheme of things do they think they have the right to walk all over us, destroy the club and carry on regardless?

    I wonder how Greg Dyke, the FA chairman, who lives in a small village just outside of Salisbury feels about this?

    Perhaps he should be holding his head in his hands in shame that he presides over an organisation that thinks they are above the law.

    Let's us not forget that while Salisbury were the unfortunate victims of a complete fraudster if the Conference and FA's pathetic and farcical fit and proper persons test hadn't been in operation he wouldn't have been able to take control of the club in the first place.

    What idiots allow an individual to make up a name and only ask him to provide an email address as confirmation he is fit to own a football club? You guessed it the bungling fools at the Conference and FA.

    What they have conspired to do to Salisbury City is disgraceful and against the moral obligation they have to the teams under their charge.

    ----

    With all the anger in the land
    How long before the judgement day?
    Before we cut the fat ones down to size?
    Before the barricades arise?

    When? I looked back to page 11 and couldn't see anything about Salisbury (unless it was cunningly disguised....)

    They did tell him to, which they acknowledged was a mistake considering both drivers are in the title race. It is now believed that they will just leave them be from now, seeing as the Constructor's Championship is all but settled anyway.

    Speaking of which, I just watched this wicked vid of a girl with a Confederacy flag on her shirt being spitroasted by two African priests.

    Woman on BBC news who was a passenger on the Qatar plane said: "I was convinced there was a bomb on board. Either that, or a wheel had bust or something." <doh>
