Livery looks solid, but those stupid noses really don't do the cars any favours aesthetically. I also kinda feel we were sold a dream on the whole cars looking more aggressive thing. They pretty much seem to be the same as last year with bigger tyres.

Berger at Hockenheim in 94 and 97, Panis at Monaco in 1996, Hunt at Zandvoort in 1975, Gethin at Monza in 1971, could all potentially fall under the category.

Mika Häkkinen's first win on Jerez in 1997. You've got me wondering. I seem to recall that less was said about Mika's arranged win (Coulthard being held back) after Schumacher's failed blitzkrieg. I do believe most racefans wanted to see Mika finally winning a race, but I don't remember anybody bei...

last 20 years has been a succession of quick fixes, most of them trying to fix previous quick fixes. They don't work because there is never any consideration of what happens if it doesn't work in the very specific way the FIA have dreamed up that it will.

I'm a sucker for simple helmet designs. Nasr is the one that jumps out and it gets my vote. Ericsson's and Ocon's are nice too. I much preferred Vettel's simpler white design from 2015. Alonso's stick's out when he's racing, it looks good on TV, but too many flicks and dashes up close Simple helmet...

Overwatch is half price on the PSN store until Monday. I bought it, and it's superb. First modern shooter that I've enjoyed. Well worth the £27.99 it currently is. :thumbup: Had it for a couple of months now, great fun. Been playing with a friend who normally hates PvP FPS but even she really enjoy...

Nasr and Ercsionn, perhaps, If I have to choose. First is because the relative simplicity, and the other because of the pleasant combination of colors.

I tend to agree. Palmer's is solid too because of its simplicity.

Bought a broken PS4 off Ebay for £80, planning to fix it and get a cheap(ish) PS4. It's turned up, and works perfectly. So my fixing budget went on Uncharted 4 instead.

Ok, I've done 15 or so seasons on this now, and I've learnt a few things about this game: Firstly, don't be Predator Racing on your first go. They're at such a massive disadvantage that it'll be 5 or so seasons until you'll reach parity with the midfield factory wise. Secondly, reliability is far mo...

Finished Tales from the Borderlands. Very enjoyable game. I really quite like the Telltale games. You get quite an involved experience but without being too intensely involved in actually playing a game. For me, it's a happy medium between a movie and a game in many ways (though obviously it is a g...

I really dislike this. Pushing it even further into a two tier championship, one where the manufacturers race for the win, and the rest fight to be the best manufacturer B team.

I wonder if there will be any completely new liveries for 2017 or will they all stay pretty much the same. McLaren aren't expecting to get a new title sponsor until 2018 so I guess they will be pretty much the same as this year. I hope that Haas might change their livery as I thought that red white...

There is a new patch out today, with a load of bug fixes, and a brand new 2d mode that should help people on lower spec. Not tried it yet though, so no idea how much an actual difference it makes.

Losing Germany by itself would suck, but not be a huge problem, but to lose Singapore, Malaysia and Germany, with Canada on the edge, isn't great at all.

C4 seemed impressed with Ricciardo doing mid 1.45s on his long run. Not sure what anyone else did though.

This felt like a proper race, kudos to Buemi

Think it helped that it was on a real circuit, and not one set up in a carpark. Buemi and Di Grassi seem to be putting their sportscar experience to full effect in FE.

Ericsson and Palmer did a great job of making the tyres last.

So, the new seasons of CW's superhero shows are starting up, and they're looking good so far. Flash is the flagship show it seems, because the Flashpoint storyline is the major one that affects all of the shows, in subtle ways. It does show how kinda pointless the Legends of Tomorrow show is though,...

Just checked Wiki and to be fair to him he's done OK in his brief career to date but he was 5th in F3 in 2015 - but (significantly behind both his full-time team mates (Rosenqvist & Dennis) Felix Rosenqvist (518) Antonio Giovinazzi (412.5) Jake Dennis (377) Charles Leclerc (363.5) Lance Stroll (231...

Were John McPhee and Enea Bastianini ok after getting hit by bikes in the Moto3 race? I vaguely remember a message saying they were conscious, but nothing else.

I've been impressed with him this year. He's been fast in Euroseries for the last two seasons, but he made lots of dumb mistakes that caused huge crashes last year. This year for the most part, he's got that out of his system.

Had to give a talk in front of all my colleagues, despite having a huge fear of public speaking. Apparently I crushed it, and everyone's told me I did a good job. Which is nice.

Nope, completely legal move. Drivers are allowed one move to defend and one move back onto the racing line. As much as people whinge there is no requirement for drivers to complete their move before braking. If Verstappen is capable of hitting his braking point and defending at the same time withou...

Life in the school laboratory used to be fun (and dangerous) before they decided to wrap everyone in cotton wool. I can't imagine what students get to do these days, if anything. Or is it just watching demos while a lab assistant in a sterile, fireproof, space-suit does the actual stuff behind a sh...

the EPL refs just make the decision and if you don't like it, or it's clearly wrong.... tough. That doesn't help build respect between officials and players/teams.

Saw three films over the weekend: The Last Witch Hunter: It's one of those 'normal world with magic/monsters' type deals. S'Alright, but not great.

In a decade of so total at Uni I've never used a naked flame (though a few people in the labs did) but at school we used them all the time.

It's in incredibly poor taste. Not because of his implication that Villeneuve is responsible, but for the fact that he is willing to use a man's death for political leverage. I am surprised that Red Bull, his family, Tag Heuer, and the FIA have not moved to distance themselves from those comments be...

Watched the sequel to Now I See You. It's pretty fun if you like the original, but it's very style over substance, and the plot is pretty much the same as the original one.

With Hamilton, Alonso and Vettel, it was always a case of them being too aggressive on the attack and making mistakes because they overstepped the limit. Aside from Monaco last year, that hasn't been the case with Verstappen, it's been his defending that has been questioned. Today it was only Raikko...

I've started getting back into Gotham, after initially dropping it because I couldn't stand the guy who plays Jim Gordon. Just enough of it is good enough for me to be intrigued again, especially to see how they incorporate the change to Poison Ivy for season 3.

Bradley Smith sustained a serious leg injury in practice for the Oschersleben 8HR, might not make Silverstone.

Lynn would be a good get for Jaguar. It doesn't look like he'll be on the F1 grid in 2017 and he's already said he won't do another year in GP2 so FE is probably his logical single-seater destination. Have to say I'm a little surprised they've given the other seat to Carroll. Is it just me who feel...
