RadioactiveWaste watched about an hour of thee race and just got totally bored. When Hamilton won his World Championships with Mercedes at least he had competition from Rosberg and Vettel. Verstappen has no competition at all. Enjoy watching the rest of the season but I for one will not bother watching another race this season. PS really happy for Lando though.

Apparently Hamilton had to spend a lot of the race managing engine temp and cooling. He'll be disappointed to not be on the podium for sure.
I'm baffled Perez got driver of the day,he did fine but there were more impressive drives for my money, both Lando and Georgie boy did more, particularly Lando who had to eak his tyres out to the end to secure P2.
The return of the honey badger was good, hard to say how it would've been without getting a turn 1 love tap, but enough in it to suggest he's woken up from his McLaren nightmare. I'm not going to pencil him into next year's red bull just yet, but clearly there's hope for the Danny fans.
I'm starting to wonder if netflix are just paying Ferrari to do these things at this point (then I remember they're Ferrari,and todt/brawn/Schumacher apart, they've always been like this)

RIP Trevor, when you meet Cloughie  make sure you interrupt his squash game again!!!

I’m siding with AngieRam in defence of John McGovern. He did all the un-noticed donkey work that enabled the rest of the team to “tick”.
I agree with Mikel Beck being in the side -a complete duffer. As was Andy Todd, who arrived with great fanfares on the back of his dad’s reputation. 
 
Warren Barton was another poor player. He arrived with Rob Lee who did put a shift in, but all Barton did when he got the ball was lump it skywards, hopefully up the pitch, but mainly upwards as high as possible. What a waste of Derby oxygen.
Then there were the two French guys that Colin Todd brought in who were dire. And on the subject of Colin Todd - no matter how great he was as a player, he shafted the club as a manager. He was being groomed to take over from Jim Smith, maybe at the end of that season. Instead he jumped the gun, went behind his boss’s back and got Jim sacked. The result was that the team wouldn't play for him, and was worse to watch than anything that John “personality vacuum” Newman could conjure up.
Good grief! We put up with some troach in our time, haven’t we?

Very sad. He seemed to have been a very nice person, largely unaffected by stardom.
Condolences to his family

Just watching the highlights of play off semi final at Belland Road on Skysports football no matter what the outcome of the final against Villa that night at Leeds last long in great Derby wins. 

Fingers crossed.
Let's summon the Proclaimers to put Sunshine on Old Trafford.
Lets give the bowlers a rendition of Sultans of Swing.
Lets give the aussie batters a rendition of "hit the road jack"

Really made up for Lewis didn't think I would see him on pole again this year. The first few laps will be interesting. Hope Lando has a decent race again. 

Make a better go of recruitment when finances allow.
We have done really well strengthening the defence, but this will mean sod all if we don't score the goals needed to go up, which i dont believe we will currently.
If its true we were chasing after Jack Vale from Blackburn, someone who has scored 3 goals in 40 odd games, I'd suggest we are scraping the barrel and then some.
Mid table this season with a go at promotion next season I imagine.

Finished work at 2.00 today and had a fantastic afternoon watching England play Crawley has been incredible and both Ali and Root have backed him up well. Australia look totally bewildered. Be great if Crawley can get another 26 runs for a double century.

Brilliant stuff from England's 3 batters in this session.

Really hope so. Seems such a grounded player. 

Djok has been a great champ, but men's tennis had got very stale and Alcaraz looks to be the perfect tonic. He looks simply next level. If he stays healthy, he'll surely be the next outstanding player of his generation. Poor old Djok looked utterly bemused at times, but he lost little in defeat. 
Don't get the Murray hate. Bit pointless IMO.

Changing of the guard perhaps

Wimbledon Men's Final who will be the Champion Novak Djokovic or Carlos Alcaraz? Really want Alcaraz to win but I can't see Djokovic losing. 

Nasty flip flop injury from holiday

With no F1, motoGP on summer holidays and no British touring cars, your driving round in circles entertainment this week can be GT racing from missano (GT world challenge Europe) or Formula E from Rome with Saturday and Sunday races. Both of these are live on the YouTubes
There's also the Goodwood festival of speed, again, available on YouTube.
Or for something slightly slower than Nyck De Vries, the tour de France rumbles on.

I think this move probably ends Albon's chances of getting back into the red bull outfit, although he is making his case to he driving for a better team than Williams.
I think if he's consistently beating Tsunoda he also needs Perez to fluff being P2 in the championship, I don't think he'll get it just by doing well in the AT,but the warning shot to Checo has very clearly been sent.
I guess the headache is what if Danny does ok, Checo sorts himself out and Tsunoda can argue he's matching Danny Ric and there's not a clear case for who gets the seat (my guess is they'd give it Danny for Netflix reasons).
There's obviously little downside for red bull in doing this and having the honey badger back is good for the sport. I can't see him drowning like he did at McLaren against Tsunoda but Yuki has talent and is finally starting to grow up a bit - I'm almost more interested in seeing how Yuki does than Riccardo because he was just about on par with Gasly by the end of last year but it's hard to tell how good he's been against NDV and how much is the AT being turd.
I just hope this doesn't end up with one of Riccardo or Perez blocking Liam Lawson and Iwasa for getting a shot in the AT (or whatever they change the name to)
 

So happy to see Daniel Ricciardo driving in Formula1 again. I would love to see him drive for Red Bull next season but it will be interesting how he does against Yuki Tsunoda at Alpha Tauri. 

Reports are being made that Mad Marko's Pressure Cooker has burnt yet another driver with Nyck De Vries to be given the traditional Red bull "I don't recall saying good luck" exit and Danny Ricciardo will be in the Alpha tauri from Hungary onwards.
It's not been confirmed yet, but, I'm inclined to believe it.
It's of course interesting to Marko in particular as it will potentially give him fuel to burn both Yuki Tsunoda if he doesn't Lando Norris the ol' honey badger and Checo, who, let's face it, hasn't been doing the business for some time now.
And we know Dr Marko gets his rocks off on ending drivers careers.
But for Danny, the future looks full of hope again, as he can battle with Bottas and try to stay on the pace of his team mate once again.
