Perhaps regrettably, Hamilton is driving this weekend: https://www.skysports.com/f1/news/12433/12157259/lewis-hamilton-returning-to-f1-for-abu-dhabi-gp-after-negative-covid-19-tests https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/hamilton-gets-all-clear-to-race-in-abu-dhabi-gp/4924800/?ic_source=home-page-widget&ic_medium=widget&ic_campaign=widget-22 I have yet to see any comment from Hamilton, congratulating Russell on his drive. Has anyone seen a comment from him?

So, is this when they finally recover from Stuxnet and get going again, or are we on try #4 or something? Maybe the IAF will provide some special delivery to help celebrate?

The God of enthusiasm, for which he offends each race.

We have our answer, Russell it is. https://www.skysports.com/f1/news/12433/12148788/george-russell-replaces-lewis-hamilton-at-mercedes-for-sakhir-gp

Hamilton's got it, and will miss this weekend's race. Can't wait to see the alternate dynamic. Stoffel Vandoorne looks like the official replacement, but this is yet to be seen. What fun if they could put George Russell in there just for this race. https://www.skysports.com/f1/news/12433/12147781/lewis-hamilton-formula-one-champion-tests-positive-for-coronavirus https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/hamilton-devastated-to-miss-sakhir-gp/4919327/?ic_source=home-page-widget&ic_medium=widget&ic_campaign=widget-22

Which witch is Which?

She's not exactly from the "Brain Trust." I remember an early interview with her, where she used the phrase "House of the Representatives," told me everything I needed to know about her level of real world understanding.

That may have been the best race of the year.

Announcer: "Having some real-world benefits." That's what I would call them too!

Of course, you're right, makes one wonder exactly what this means (from the story), "...pushing the boundaries with sustainable fuels..." Glad they didn't use the phrase 'Alternative energies.' At least it sounds like these cars will have six pistons, exhaust systems and human drivers.

Maybe the engine thing has a direction now, and it doesn't necessarily mean electric, but might mean more corn: https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/f1-hybrid-engines-sustainble-fuels/4907782/?ic_source=home-page-widget&ic_medium=widget&ic_campaign=widget-22

Oh crap! I ran out of popcorn, I'll be back ... Next Wednesday.

I'm at the point where if Lewis is in the lead with no one near him - I naively pretend he's just not in the race. As one can tell, I'm not a huge Hamilton fan. Having said that, the moments with his dad, who drove him to all of his cart races with the equipment, was heartening. It does remind me that he's not all BLM, or must say good things about the team in interviews - he's a human being. (Jeeze, it sounds like I'm crying, not my intention).

And I was thinking that the best 'scenario' would be a no-holds-barred double-header, with Harris v. Pence followed by the main event - Trump v. Biden. Lots of bandages and ice (and beer) will be needed, but the entertainment factor - wow. The whole thing is just f*cking sad of course.

Heard this same thing on Sky this morning during P2. It does seem as though Driver + $ is more value than Driver only. Not a surprise, eh?

Who is paying for the healthcare in those ten countries?

It won't be cheap, so maybe it is radical, and who will pay for these things?

We have a guy who can stand up and talk contemporaneously for two hours, and then we have a guy who can't even come close to doing that. One is a confidence builder - and one is not.

180 years is a long time... https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1340436/Joe-Biden-news-auto-cue-blunder-video-US-President-election-latest-Democrats-update?utm_source=traffic.outbrain&utm_medium=traffic.outbrain&utm_term=traffic.outbrain&utm_content=traffic.outbrain&utm_campaign=traffic.outbrain#t=7s

The best part of something like this - is that some folks out there may well have started doing this. Maybe that's just me imagining the misguided, idealistic youth (under 30) doing crazy sh*t like this, because they saw a pic of it somewhere.

I think the FIA knows electrons are a problem for the F1 variant. We already have Formula E, and if some move to that is accorded in F1, then a large chunk of their audience will evaporate. I'm there for the petrol operated machines (hey I'm older), and I like it. On a separate note, congrats to the guy who placed third (can't believe I just wrote that), he deserved it.

Never a truer phrase was spoken. Yes, it's obvious that the media loves the left, but without viewers/readers/visitors - the media dies, and they won't ever let that happen. When reading a piece of "news," look for the drama, that's where you'll find the key.

Sometimes, one just needs a carriage return. On a separate note, "unfornicate" is not a real word, but passes muster here, as we like alternate ways of saying things.

Yes, a good question for the FIA. I am most curious to know where they go in five years, it seems like there is still some ultra-efficient engine scheme on the near horizon. Electric is already well developed in Formula E, so where do we go, and will it be entertaining?

Wow, that's a lot of typing.
