    Very entertaining. And no safety car!

    Verstappen's 2nd in the drivers standings. That's astonishing given the advantage Bottas has driving a Mercedes.

    If he had finished 2nd (where he was placed when he was forced to retire) in Austria, he'd be on 95 with Hamilton on 106.

    Just watching Wilson v McGill in the snooker championship.
    I haven’t seen so many foul shots, in one frame, since the days my brothers and I were let loose on the tables at Butlins, 50 odd years ago.

    I'm not a massive fan of snooker but those last 3 frames were incredible from him. He's box office stuff.

    It’s great. The referees are just ball polishers. Perfect.

    Selby is accusing O’Sullivan of being disrespectful, playing mind games and standing up in his eyeliner, for one shot.
    No love lost?

    Oops. I normally proof read to avoid the “fat fingers” title.

    Squeaky pole for Lewis. Despite Charlie being a bunch quicker than Vettel again, he may be at a disadvantage tomorrow as Seb can start on mediums having finished 11th, whereas Charlie in 9th will be on softs.

    I much prefer it when you call him Charles... Charlie reminds of some obnoxious tw4t from the not too distant past.

    Ronnie O'Sullivan - love him or hate him - he's quite probably the greatest snooker player of all time. Amazing!

    Yeah no question about it. The guy is better with his left hand than most players in the world are with their stronger hand. The only question has always been the amount of world titles, this one will put him one behind Hendry then it's all down to Ronnie's mentality and self motivation on whether or not he wants to surpass him. He has the record for most major wins though. He has always been a joy to watch that's for sure.
