The Silver Fern

Ignoring the predictable winner out front, I've enjoyed the tussle for the third podium position and those trying to get that solitary point for coming 10th. But that's been F1 for as long as I've been watching.

As to the size, this is a good indication of the problem; so much easier to block:

@machpants always better to admit mistakes were made, vow to do better, move on to exciting 2022 season blah blah blah

Liam Lawson gets totally ripped off in the final race of the German DTM championship. Leading the title race with an almost insurmountable lead, gets taken out of the race by the second placed driver in the title race early, then the two leading Mercedes slow down to allow the 3rd runner to overtake and win the race and the title. Lawson probably should have tried to stay out of trouble tussling with the second placed driver at the start, but I don't know what you can do in such a crowded field.

Lawson will have to console himself with a F1 junior trial at the end of the season

First time in years that I watched most of that.

It was a bit disappointing those late safety cars came out, because I was looking forward to an old time finish with cars spluttering to a halt half a lap from the finish.

I think Whincup would've been a good bet if he'd kept the lead and played the same cards as Scotty.

New Zealand one-two in Australia's Great Race! 🙂

@Duluth Yup not only the biggest budget but they get the most money per season cos of their history. Utter crap, each team should get the same.

Sir Lewis ...

I can't be bothered looking but that for real? New years honours?

According to the Beeb, yes.

Has he announced his retirement and I missed it? It all feels a bit weird when current players/sportspeople etc are knighted.

Perish the thought of the departure of the scoreboard attendants that indicate the number of the round coming up in boxing. How will we be able to keep track of the distance of the fight without that informative service?

@synicbast Cheers, that makes me feel slightly better about myself.
