I'm pretty much in the same boat. On Saturday I was busy with family stuff so I couldn't watch the sprint and TBH i forgot all about it. Then on Sunday I decided to take the dog for a 6 mile walk over the hills and stop in a pub for a pint rather than watch the race. I seem to have lost all interest...

So I am a Lewis fan and I connect more closely with how he portrays himself than I do with Max. From what I have seen of Max I find him to be a thoroughly unlikeable character. This has nothing to do with his ability as I don't think you can really question that. To me Lewis seems much more genuine ...

For me it was a hard NO. I love the USA and have been to Florida several times. This race and event were just awful though.Having all those pointless celebs on the grid was just pointless. I remember when Brundle's grid walk used to be interesting. Now there is nobody for him to talk to. The race it...

I loved the new Blade Runner and in my opinion before going to see it, it was not a film that needed to be made. The score was just fantastic and the cinematography was beautiful. I need to go and see it for a 2nd time I think but at an imax screen.

so I have persevered a bit with Star Trek Discovery and it is growing on me. I think that the first 2 episodes were a bit pointless and the basic story could have been imparted more effectively through flashback (although not to the extend that they used flashbacks in Arrow) I am also watching seaso...

Horizon Zero Dawn is quite possibly one of the most beautiful games that I have ever played and it has a truly engaging story line to boot. Well worth investing in. I still have it unsealed (still trying to complete all the Fallout 4 DLCs). I'm torn between whether to blast Fallout and start on it ...

I tried Discovery but found the first episode to be a bit flat. Having said that though I have it on good authority that it comes into its own by episode 3 so I will go back to it. The Orville seems to be more Trek than Trek so I will be continuing with that and would recommend it to all. However th...

I've actually just sat and watched the video and people are really making a mountain out of a molehill. To me it is just a case of bad banter which isn't aided by language barriers and Romain trying to be a teachers pet.

Nothing to see here.

African-American and not a Hamilton fan. Also question is about your background and whether you are a fan of Hamilton or not, why bring arguments of last race or any other argument in? Because LH like a recent U.S. president and a golfer we all know, is viewed as a black man. It's kinda hard to mis...

I think it looks awesome.

And I'm not just saying that because the company I work for are now sponsoring the team. Not that any of us mere workers new anything about it until we saw the company name and logo peeling off the side.

nice job.

I found it very interesting to look through that, thank you for taking the time to do it.

I feel sad that people are getting uppity because they disagree, surely if they think it could be done better they should go and do it?

Kind of flicking to the Beeb coverage of FP2 with the sound down due to beein at work and it seems like a lot of cars are running all 4 wheels off track in multiple locations. Has anything been said by Charlie and his Enforcers yet about this?

I'm not sure there is an awful lot he can do other than aim for pole and drive the best race he can. Anything else like backing up the pack or trying to force errors raises the risks that he will cock up himself and give the race, and championship, to Lewis.

I consulted with wise spirits via my Ouija board and they tell me that Fred is going to buy into Sauber and rename the team Nando's Racing. The cars will go Peri Peri fast.

Failing that I see McLaren as his best and most likely option although 3 car teams really would shake everything up.

As a steward at a theatre and concert hall, buying a ticket does not give you the right to do whatever the hell you want. If I had paid a lot of money to see a play or a concert and the performance was utterly shambolic then I would sure as hell make my feelings on the matter known. Especially if i...

So is the perception of being a great, and being marketable more important than being WDC? I guess a lot of it depends on the driver and what they want but nobody can take winning the WDC away from you.

FWIW I think that Eddie did the right thing by speaking out against the booing when he was conducting his podium interviews, but, I believe the fans have every right to cheer, clap or boo as they see fit. F1 would struggle without the fans (as would any sport) and to try and imply that they have no ...

What are the stats on ownership for the new gen of consoles? I know, for one, that I'll probably stick with my PS3 for another year or so...

I have a big problem with the 'antifan' (I quite like the term though) It is the inability to listen to a well constructed argument or point and to carry on regardless in the face of overwhelming evidence that really gets my back up. People who are selective as to what piece evidence they use to bac...

There are a lot of posts saying that the safety car is a lottery and this is unfair. But the SC only comes out after (some) crashes so therefore it is not a constant element of the race. Why not moan about the first corner on the opening lap? That can be a bit of a lottery. Through no fault of their...

RIC is the obvious choice of course but I still really rate Grosjean and would love to see him in one of the top cars.

I am a big Hamilton fan (fwiw) and I think it would have been rediculous to give ALO a penalty for that. It was just racing and I don't think it changed the outcome at all.

I have been thinking about this since this thread was started, and quite possibly for most of this season. I have been ready to post my reasons for losing interest but never quite got round to it.

Hi, keep forgetting to log in and just read this forum at work. However my 2 cents for what its worth: Red Bull - Vettel. I don't think it will even be close. Mercedes - Hamilton by a fairly comfortable margin. Ferrari - Alonso will just edge Kimi. McLaren - Button by a gnat's whisker but I expect h...
