Oh look, another high profile platonic relationship with a global superstar aimed at pushing his brand further :D

I mean, I like the guy, but the sooner he comes out of the closet and gives up on these fake "relationships", the better it will be for the sport, and himself!!

Maybe she's his new race engineer (can't be worse than the last one). At least then when they screw him over, it'll be consensual.

Back to motorsport, Button has become the ambassador for AMR https://www.astonmartinf1.com/en-GB...inted-team-ambassador-for-aston-martin-aramco
I guess this is down to JB's Honda and Japanese connections...

AM are worrying me. Extreme car design, new unreliable Honda engine, Alonso and Button in the same team...GP2 engine incoming.
 
It's drag 'n' drive time again in the USA, with Sick Week 2026 going on currently. The event started yesterday at Gainesville Raceway, FL. Mike Finnegan took Blasphemi, his 1955 Chevy gasser rocking a supercharged Chrysler Hemi, along again and has her absolutely dialled.

The run.

Not a legal timeslip to turn in, as gassers only have rollcage certification down to 8.500 in the 1/4 mile. So Mike went back around and pedalled the car to an 8.507 @ 146mph.
 
Further to that last post...day two, Mike put a larger pulley on the supercharger (to make less boost, down to 11psi) and pulled 6 degrees of ignition timing out. That slowed the car to a pass of 8.68. He put some timing back in, and it ran 8.493 @ 155. He was hoping to get a third pass in but there just wasn't enough running time in the end so he had to turn in the slower pass which puts him second in class. In his own words:

if you had told me we would be running an 8.49 pass with just 11 pounds of boost and 20° of timing in the motor. I wouldve said you’re crazy. This car is crazy efficient now and I love banging gears in it! we still got three more days of racing, and I like our chances.
