Lead balloon springs to mind …

 

Just listening to the BBC post race pod-cast .

Apparently the German GP was the one race MB allowed Netflix to Film .

As the BBC suggested , perhaps MB will let them film another race

Max takes P1 for the first time. Gasly in P6. Have I mentioned before just how ****ing useless Gasly is in a quality car? Because he's really ****ing useless.

 

Can't see him lasting much longer.

 

Choices are limited. Kvyat isn’t really quite the level they would want, and Albon could easily ‘do a Gasly’ this early on.

Annoying thing is that they could get Alonso in on a season long deal, but Honda...

 

Marko has said there will be no driver changes for RBR or Torro Rosso until the end of this season .

 

Sorry Max, Lewis is still the king.

 

Sorry Max, Lewis’ tactician is the King

 

This ^^^

Great tactics today from Merc. And, in fairness Ferrari for Seb.

 

That's the most tentative & cautious I think I've ever seen Lewis. Really mature dive from him to close the gap & take Max near the end. Another very good race.

 

Rugby League, where men are real men.

Neymar could learn something from him.

 

Quite often in life, you find the real men aren't highly paid sports people, but rather honest folk working 60hrs a week and raising a family. All the while having a smile on their face.

 

I agree HR but even they are unlikely to work 60hrs with a pair of ruptured bollocks.

 

Neymar needs a pair of balls first.

 

nicking that.

Here is a result that is going to send a tsunami throughout the rugby unión world. Australia 47, New Zealand 26. Oz 6 tries, NZ 4. Oz 3 penalties, NZ none,

What have the Aussies been doing since their World Cup final appearance in 2015 because since then they have been beaten on a regular basis by NZ, England and others until now. I hope some of you have put a bet on Oz to win the World Cup in Japan before this result as their odds will come tumbling down now.

It will be interesting seeing the reaction to this in NZ but the media are likely to go into meltdown, they will seek Hansen´s head, the players will be told they are not good enough. And their first match up is against South Africa in the World Cup. Their confidence will have been shattered by this result.

Gales - Numero Uno en todo el mundo. Helen esta feliz ahora

 

The All Blacks were down to 14 men for the whole of the second half. That makes a hell of a difference in rugby. They will bounce back - I don’t see the Boks as that strong yet, though I wouldn’t be surprised to see the final of the RWC being between these 3 Southern Hemisphere teams. I’m not sure we in the North can compete with the ferocity of their play. Happy to be proven wrong though ..... come on England!

 

I´d like Wales to win tomorrow just to be confirmed numero uno.

PS: NZ were 16-12 down at half time, so were already under pressure. You are right, one man short could have made a difference but at the end of the day, the NZ commentators will site a lack of discipline and poor decisión making as contributary causes, while Oz´s will no doubt highlight a good set of rugby skills, speed and fitness.
