They're all looking tyred.

I reckon Hamilton is losing on porpoise

Well would you believe it.....of course we expected this.

So it's finally been dealt with and guess what? Nothing really happened. Red Bull who cheated by over spending on their budget have had their wrist slapped and fined a piddling $7 million and had some restrictions imposed on them for 12 months. The outcome they all wanted as it didn't involve any points reduction for cheating where Ver Stappen may well have had to hand over the title back to Hamilton for last season.

Has Hamilton won a race this year?

No?

Nothing to do with who has got the best car then?

[Brin]

You have to ask the question that the £1.8 Million they over spent and used on their areodynamics did it actually help them?

[Brin]

Just watching the race in Mexico. It was very even until the pit stop tyre changes and I think that Mercedes got it wrong going for the hard tyre where Red Bull went for the mediums and it's now worked wonders for Verstappen.

Looking to attend a brand new venue next year and it's in Las Vegas. Would you believe me if I said all the hotels are already booked up. Actually they've been snapped up by a company and you have to book through tHem, obviously at greatly inflated rates than normal for the race dates. America's version of Ticketmaster.

That's what you get when you attend the Derby County (or Sheffield Wednesday or Reading or Wigan Athletic or........) school of accounting

Give it a miss Brin and opt for Eurovision in Liverpool instead. Better entertainment and a better class of local inhabitants but will probably cost a bit more

CAM, the Mayor of Liverpool has voiced his disgust at how hotels have massively hiked their prices for the Eurovison.

One hotel that would have normally charged £120 a night now have all rooms at £800. They said it was because of supply and demand??
Just sheer greed and everyone should boycott the greedy gits!.

A question to ask is how much the BBC are paying to be the main player in the Eurovision Song Contest broadcast.

They’ve been asked by others but declined to confirm the cost

It’s been estimated to be between £8 million and £17 million, quite a wide spread

It will of course be a major success because the Beeb will mark their own homework
