    Well she should have kept quiet.

    After all what happens in vagus, stays in vagus.

    Vettel signed for Aston Martin for next year (currently known as Racing Point). Decent move, as it’ll be quicker than the Ferrari tractor next year...

    Feel a bit sorry for Perez. He's driven a lot better than Vettel has for quite a while. I guess they want a big name to go with their rebranding.

    True, but when was Vettel last in good form?

    When he last had a driver as a teammate that didn't threaten him. So, he'll probably be alright with Stroll!

    RIP Alan. One of my early boxing
    Memories was his beating by Hagler.

    Ah flashback to 10 year old me watching the Munich Olympics, Alan Minter in a white GB vest with blue and red bands across the chest, delivering a combination with his trademark "Boom Boom" and then all those late nights staying up with my dad watching title fights. Another part of my childhood has gone...:(

    R.I.P. Alan...<rose>

    Mugello looks beautiful, but it doesn’t look likely you could overtake anywhere, bar the pit straight.

    The F1 cars are 30 seconds a lap quicker around Mugello than the MotoGP bikes. Wow.

    No idea why Lewis was blaming the safety car lights, but man, thank goodness for the halo system.
