Ah forgot they had confirmed the Spa "rotation" thanks!
 
Lando, who risks his life every time he goes on track comes third in BBC Sports Personality Of The Year.

Behind someone who runs with a ball and someone who hits a little ball with a bit of metal.

Bonkers. Utterly bonkers.
 
Norris’s might’ve won the title but it was so messy and unremarkable. He’s also not the best driver on the grid and F1 isn’t as popular as other major sports, especially in the States.

Just read that former NASCAR driver Greg Biffle and his family have been killed in a plane crash. What a bloody awful way to go :(

Yeah been reading about it all afternoon. Guy came across as a really nice dude. Sucks that its happened at this time of year but then theres never a good time for this sort news. He's made a really positive impact on the social side of NASCAR in recent years building relationships with the likes of Cleetus and his circle of content creators.
RIP Biff!
 
Totally forgot I did this a year ago.

Yea, was a tough one to read tbh, the Biff and whole family came across as really nice and genuine people, going to miss his racing / advice and vids.

Yeah, didn't really know him from NASCAR (although did watch it a bit back in the day when he was driving) but saw him on several Cleetus videos and he came across as a decent guy, also reading about the stuff he did to help people after the hurricane... RIP.
 
Did anyone really love the montage at the end of the channel 4 coverage for Abu Dhabi with that cover of 'The Chain' by Blakwall? Never broke into the famous riff, but the anticipation of it, alongside clips of the season/Norris winning gave me a few tingles.

Worked really well.
 
Has anyone here heard of Freddie Slater ? 17 year old brit, making his debut in F3 next season.

Seems to be viewed as a potential elite-tier talent with rumours of an Audi F1 drive in 2027.

His junior record is pretty ridiculous (World and European karting championships) and he broke Kimi Antonelli's F4 record for most wins last year, finishing with the largest lead in the series history. 15 wins, 11 pole positions, and 10 fastest laps

He also beat Lindblad in karting. I shall be watching F3 next season.
