Getting away with it...

So. The Ferrari International Assistance (FIA) are not taking any further action against the team after their subtle-as-a-transvestite-with-a-mustache team orders incident.

Hmmm. I was at least hoping for a suspended ban, although they got basically the same. Nothing. I understand that team orders happen - course they do. But right now they're banned, and the chaps in red took the Michael by making it so very obvious. F1 fans aren't stupid (me excluded, obviously) and it made people very angry that they thought they could get away with something so obvious.

The most galling part is that we might see Skeletor, sorry, Luca di Grumpizemelo, looking irritatingly smug on the TV. He has two expressions really - the indignant/defiant/"I'm right" one and the "See, we WERE right" one. Expect to see the latter. Unfortunately.

Should be good to hear from Stefano Dominoespizzaicali as well. Nice bloke, but he doesn't make sense all that often. I'm expecting something along the lines of "You know, we understand FIA's pozeetion and appreciate their deceeezion, but, you know, eena Formula One, it ees impossible to make thees happen without team believing that they can race ona Sunday without the full beleef that theengs will not always happen this way. You know? For sure." Uh-huh. Er.... no, actually.

Anyone else think Rob Smedley is the best for his radio messages? Apart from the obvious FERNANDO IS FASTER THAN YOU one, he's also the guy who said "Easy Felipe Baby" to his driver. Top lad.

Looking forward to Monza this weekend!!

A very modern malady

Hello. I’m Doctor Grenville, and I’m here today to talk to you about SSS – or “Sad Selfie Syndrome”, to give it it’s full medical name. I’m a fully qualified medical doctor thing – I’ve got a PhD from Queens University Academy College Kendal (or “QUACK” for short) to prove it. That means it’s OK for me to talk to you about a very sensitive subject today and stroke your knee. Soothing, no? In my many years of medicinalising practice, I’ve come across some terrible afflictions. I’ve seen Achey Breaky Heart, Kneesles (where you get an itchy rash on your kneecaps) and even a very rare case of the Mercedes Benz. But recently I started seeing shocking images, on social media, graphically showing the devastating results of SSS. If you haven’t heard of it before, you’ve almost certainly seen pictures of what happens to the victims, who are mostly under the age of 30. We’ve already come to understand the irrational, overwhelming need for some amongst this group to photograph everythin...

Fantasy Formula 1 - Hungary Results

Sometimes there's a wonderful "huh?" moment in F1. Today's was when the lights didn't go to red at the start, but flashed green and yellow. I'm sure all the drivers are briefed, and everyone knows the drill, but they all just sat there - no-one wanted to be the first to move. In the most high-tech sport in the world, it took Charlie Whiting waving at them to make them go. To be honest, it wasn't the most thrilling of races, but Happy Hamilton "The slow boys won't get out of my way! It's not fair! Boohoohooo - I'm telling Charlie!" winning does mean the front end of the points table still looks deliciously tight. What we really need now, as the excitement level ramps up, is.... to take 5 weeks off. Dammit. Still, to keep you occupied, I want you to memorise the points you all scored today. It's easy to remember mine. I came last... RACE RESULT Position Name Point...

Welcome to Costa del Barrow

Feel that sudden chill in the air? It’s winter, heading this way. Or you’ve left the fridge door open. One of those, definitely. According to people with the word ‘meteorologist’ somewhere in their job title, it has been the driest September since records began. Hardly surprising, really – the wettest winter on record immediately beforehand almost certainly used up all the available rain in the sky early (Note to self: check the sciencey stuff, it doesn’t sound quite right). With just 20% of the normal rainfall of the most Septembery of months, 2014 trounced the previous record holder, good old 1959. Whilst this may have led to less plump courgettes, and parched blue tits mugging you for your bottle of mineral water, it does have a beneficial side-effect: Your granddad will finally have to stop saying “Dry? You don’t know what dry is! When I were but a lad...” Clearly disappointing for grandpops, especially so soon after the “Wet winter? Pah! When I were but a lad...” sto...
