That's excellent news about Grosjean leaving. I've never liked him. I'm lukewarm on Magnussen--I hope he finds a seat somewhere. I would love to see Haas become competitive at some point in the future. |

| left to right: John, James, and John. quote: FUN AND GAMES DEPT: Versatile Jim Clark was at it again, proving that he can drive anything, anywhere, and make it look like fun. Ford of Britain asked Clark, Sir John Whitmore and Jackie Stewart out to Brands Hatch for a day of fooling around.
What they were fooling around with was a three-ton D300 Ford truck, loaded with a ton of concrete blocks. After a day of bashing around, Clark had gotten the fastest lap - 1.29.8 minutes. The lap record for three - to five-liter cars at Brands is 1.01.6 minutes. Oh yes-something else. The truck was governed to a top speed of 60 mph. Pretty good for a guy from the sticks.

| Man, Portimao is a roller coaster. FP2: Gasly  looked worse from the initial camera shot. Max was too aggressive, IMO.

| Great picture with Clark and Stewart. Two of the best ever but from a different era. Most of the new classic tracks they have been running this year are way better than the artificial events they have been racing at due to $$$. Not a Stroll fan but Max stuck it in there way too much for a practice session, maybe even in a race. In any case, he got away with it anyway.

| Yeah. I put more of the blame on Max, though Stroll likely knew he had to be there, but he was ahead & it was his corner.

| Curious if the Ferrari is just not suited to Vettel's driving style? IIRC, Schumacher had a similar issue when partnered with Rosberg? I guess we'll see next year when he's in the AM.

women dug his snuff
and his gallant stroll
| Exciting race. What today's race and the last few races have shown me is just how bad/boring the modern Tilke designed tracks really are. Seems like computer aided design can only take track layouts so far. |

| Mercedes in a different league, some great racing otherwise, Stroll showed his ass. Lucky to get away with no Covid sanction from the last event too. Maybe they need to add sprinklers to every track.

Daddy owns the team. Unless he screws up enough next year to be an embarrassment to Aston Martin such that the board forces a change, his seat is safe. It was a good race and they need to keep the circuit for next year. New track for almost everyone, lots of elevation change, fresh asphalt, track limits. Tracks not designed by Tilke seem to be the most interesting. |
