Hope Grosjean recovers soon. That was a nasty crash. the angels were definitely with him today.

[Giles]

I think he will be fine.  But when I saw the car cut in half, I really thought there was no way, he was going to get out with "minor" injuries…..

[louisbosco]

I believe I heard the commentators mention he had second degree burns and a few bruised ribs. wasn't good watching it live just seen the fireball and watching him jump out of the fire when they deemed it okay to show the replays. would've been a whole different story if he was knocked unconscious which thankfully he wasn't.

there was certainly something about fires and this race. Perez's car caught on fire at the end too.

George Russell P1 in quali 

[Giles]

I'll give you first row, P1 is a big ask

[louisbosco]

multi tasking..

[louisbosco]

@Giles quite a close split between Russell and Bottas. but spot on from you..

still quite a stellar performance from George. all things considered, it's not his car, not fitted for him and only had a day or so driving it. I'm looking forward to his first podium in F1

[louisbosco]

nice to see Mercedes fuck up. but when George is winning, it's painful 

[louisbosco]

I don't care what anyone says. George Russell won that race! 

ONE FUCKING JOB MERCEDES. ARGHHH!!!

[Giles]

"On Sunday, Toto described their loss in Abu Dhabi as "a slap on the wrist". In that sense, beating Mercedes in this manner at the last race of the season might just have been the worst thing Red Bull could have done."

Dakar 2021 just wrapped up and argentine Kevin Benavides took top motorbike honors!

During Dakar 2018 we shared a full day watching the race in the peruvian desert with Kevin’s personal support team: psychologist, masseuse, dietician (in # 47 tshirts), his father (in plain navy tshirt) and an IH groupie wearing:

ihsh 159 yellow ombre

BRILLIANT…

Anyone else excited about the 2021 F1 season? It's going to be fascinating to see how Alonso performs after 2 years out, not to mention Lando v Ricciardo! Oh, and Sainz in the Ferrari.. and Aston Martin unveiling their F1 livery..can't wait!
And for anyone who hasn't watched it, Drive to Survive (Netflix) is a great watch.

[Giles]

You bet…......

Cannot wait for the season to start! Really interested to see Lando v Ricciardo, but might be more intrigued by Verstappen v Checo. I don’t think anyone truly challenges the Mercs but it might be a little more interesting if Checo can pull his weight.

[chiverus]

@Jcourt you’re right! I wonder if Checo will get close to Max? Would bust the max myth if he did 

[Giles]

I'm hoping he does.  I am not disputing Max's talent as a driver, I just think he's a twat…
