I agree the only way I see max finishing ahead of Lewis (barring penalties and retirement) is perez getting ahead of Lewis and keeping him in dirty air for 10-15 laps. Allowing max to build up a lead and wear the mediums forcing Hamilton to stop a few laps earlier. Its a tough ask

Looks like Riccardo is drinking a pint of plain on the grid. I assume its a fancy coffee in a cup. Imagine drink driving in F1

Will you not be watching the Limerick county champions?

I’ll have the tg4 player on the phone. Hon the baalbec

Link lads?

As a nipper I got of bed to watch the 1990 Japanese Grand Prix live. The battle was over by the first corner.

I think I sort of watched Damon Hill winning in 1996 as well although I’m pretty sure I was drifting in and out of sleep during it.

Suzuka was nearly always the great showdown venue where the titles would be decided. I can still picture every turn of that track in my mind.

It’s many years since I had what one could term a genuine interest. 1999 perhaps when our own Edward Irvine almost did but didn’t win the title.

However I did happen to chance upon an interview with the great John Watson on Off The Ball a couple of years ago talking about his formative years in motorsport which I found very enjoyable indeed. I’d have a residual admiration for that Northern Irish devil may care automotive spirit, epitomised by John and by the likes of Irvine, Gary Anderson and in a wider sense by rallying’s Bertie Fisher and of course the rich Ulster tradition of road race motorcycling. RPM Motorsport hosted by Alan Tyndall at 10:50pm on Thursday nights on UTV was invariably a good watch, though I never much cared for the different “classes” in rallying, the Group N class I think was made up of cars which you had to pedal?

In a general sense I suppose I’d be a general well wisher of Lewis Hamilton but the whole thing seems so corporate and sanitised now - all the tracks seem the same and legendary venues like Hockenheim have been airbrushed - and there’s such a bang of sportswashing off it that it’s very off putting.

Is this on now?

Absolute screw job but everyone was expecting it, even Sky know it.

Great day for @EstebanSexface. His beloved Abu Dhabi staging the finale to the Formula 1 season.

Max is in big bother here.

I see @BruidheanChaorthainn has carried on where he left off after the Manchester United match last evening, looking for phantom penalties to be awarded.

Where did I look for a penalty to be given in the man United game ?

Go on Perez.
