It's probably an England - Scotland thing. Many Scots will pick anyone over an English person in sport.

Re: Drivers moaning about the COTA bumps.
Virtually no suspension travel and 200mph speeds is not just a challenge, it's potentially spinal injury. Would be interesting to see the vertical G loads drivers encounter compared to the lateral G loads that would require medical attention.

Re: 2019 Hungarian Grand Prix Race Thread
Can people please stop giving credit to Mercedes' decision to pit Hamilton into open track behind him. It was a shot to nothing, if it didn't work out then he would still finish 2nd anyway, and it's no different than when teams have been pitting drivers from 5th or 6th on gone 'fastest lap hunting'...

Had Lewis been a second further back, there would have been no penalty, it would have gone down as just another clumsy piece of driving.
