Chip Ganassi Racing are providing an opportunity for 2015 FIA Formula 3 Europe champion and current Belardi Indy Lights driver Felix Rosenqvist a test outing with 1 of their cars. I would be interesting which 2 current CGR drivers would be on the bubble. http://www.indylights.com/news/felix-rosenqv...

bah... how long is it until the season starts again? I wanna see Zlatan in action for us.... I think Football League starts 3 weeks time, Premiership in 4. Arsenal vs Liverpool is on the 14th of August, so definitely by then. I personally cannot wait to see Middlesborough play. They've signed Victo...

... That front end is going to take some getting used to! :o Looks dangerous to me. First up, the driver can not see past it to the corner (of the car) and secondly it looks a ready made trap. Once something is in there it will not get out without ripping the front off. Looks about wheel sized too ...

Few interesting powertrain choices next year. Aguri/Techeetah will be using the eDAMS unit, the new one for 2016/7. Dragon are building their own, and BMW will be supplying Venturi, Andretti, or TCR.

Really enjoyed the races today. KIP in the rain is something else. Don't think I've ever seen a rider so confident on a wet track in any class. In the MotoGP, Marquez and Miller had exceptional runs. Marc made the slicks work when no one else could, and Miller somehow managed monster in and out laps...

Dog was fascinated. [/quote Can dogs hear bats? Is this similar to u/sonic whistles? It's too high a frequency for dogs to hear. But only just. Dolphins though, that's another story.

Totally agree. It would be nice to see the teams employ two drivers of equal or close caliber more often. Unfortunately the culture now is one where Kimi Raikkonen gets his contract renewed after his 2014 and 2015 seasons. Most teams at the front don't have the stomach for an intra-team battle. It ...

Brundle scored points at the 26th attempt, not sure many (if any) waited longer before scoring.

No, but Keke Rosberg would have won the title had he podiumed in the race he won in 1982. About the closest anyone is ever going to get with these bulletproof cars we have now.

What will Brexit do to the Premier League? Obviously the only change in the short term has to do with the sterling/euro exchange rates, but in two years..... thoughts? Almost nothing.

I would bet my year's wages that there is no rule against balking fastest lap attempts.

So, let's look at something that could be a slight glimmer of hope for those of us saddened by this backwards step. UKIP have undoubtedly stolen voters away from Labour over the past decade.

For those people not having the WEC app or Eurosport, Quest TV are showing bits of the race on their freeview channel, and on facebook live and on their Youtube channel. At least in the UK. Not sure if it's geolocked?

The lack of runoff seems like a huge issue in the event of wing/brake failure/issues. It looks alright maybe if your car is functioning as it should, but there seems to be too many places where you could have a Jenson Monaco 2003 type accident at high speed.

Euro 2016 got off to an interesting start last night. France are in real trouble if they have aspirations of winning it, because their fullbacks are absolutely shocking. Evra and Sagna were good players once upon a time, but now they are too old and it really, really shows.

Didn't watch it live because it was on halfway through the Indy 500, but the reaction on twitter was as if it was the worst thing ever recorded. When I watched it, it was alright.

An odd thing I got from the episode is that it really doesn't matter what decisions anyone makes because what is going to happen is already set in place and can't be changed!

Imola 1982 where FOCA boycotted, and the Ferraris were supposed to put on a show for the fans but let Villeneuve win. Pironi had other ideas though.

Congrats to Leicester. Not sure if its because of their own merits, or because the usual top teams have been all terrible. I have the feeling that the EPL level has decreased a lot.

As a neutral it was an amazing game. Four lovely goals, Chelsea doing a textbook job of winding up Spurs by going in hard in the first five minutes and then stopping, Spurs absolutely losing their minds, a tunnel brawl involving the sub keepers.

Huge game tonight for Spurs. Not won at Stamford Bridge for 26 years, need a win to stop Leicester winning the title. Should be a cracker.

For clarification, what counts as leading? Since it's usually only classified at the end of each lap, does crashing out shortly after overtaking on the same lap count? I assume it means from 1st place, rather than first across the line. But first place officially isn't calculated until the end of t...

He had, and dropped it on a puddle on the way down to Rivazza on his outlap. Think Hill was leading at that point.

Don't misunderstand me, Leicester have been really good this season, but when the chasing pack constantly throw points away like they have tonight, it's incredible really.

If Honda dump Pedrosa, they could promote Crutchlow, Miller or Rabat and have Rins fill their seat at LCR or EGMVDS.

http://i65.tinypic.com/x1c7bq.png This shot clearly shows that even if Vettel and Kimi had not made contact, Kvyat would have run them both off the road because he was carrying too much speed to hold a controlled line round the corner.

From the stills, it looks like one of/both of the Ferraris are at fault here. Raikkonen goes deep, but doesn't continue with a wider line like the Force India and Williams behind him do, he tries to square it off and closes the gap between him and Vettel. With cars inside him, he should be where Ros...

Looking at the wide shot, both Ferraris ran wide on entry and tried to late apex by cutting back across. Kvyat filled the space Vettel would have been in had he not run wide, and Seb was apparently amazed to find a car there. I suspect he'll feel like a bit of an idiot when he sees the tapes.
