Watched the historic races last week where they raced in older cars as far back as the 40s. There was all kinds of passing and good racing. Saw a pass in the tunnel these cars nowadays can barely get through there single file.

And almost 12% of those laps at Indy were shown between commercials. Looking at that chart for Indy, it would seem whoever is 4, 20 and 22 are ready for F1.

Also, the guy who finished third at Monaco was out with a puncture at turn 5 on the first lap, but since they didn't make it to the timing line before the red flag his position was reinstated on the restart. That would have been 16 "overtakes".

Crazy happenings at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, and no I am not talking about Jacques running his mouth.

Pole and second on the grid was a dead heat. Russel on pole position by virtue of having done his lap first.

Lando Norris was .021 behind pole pace and starts third.

For all the discourse after Monaco about lack of passing Montreal was a thrill ride.

I just learned that this thing existed as a concept in the early 90's

Remember Columbus, the Awkward 20-Foot Van With a BMW V12, TV and VSH From 1992

Styled by Giorgio Giugiaro's design office, the unlikely people carrier stood as a status symbol for the rich, with its five-liter engine and permanent 4WD

I love weird cars, and would actually love to get my hands on one to make it into an RV.

Not sure where this goes, but putting this here because this dingbat has been creeping into F1 broadcasts more and more lately.


Now, I am not suggesting she be excluded from F1 broadcasts for having crazy beliefs. I am suggesting she be excluded because she doesn't know shit about racing.

Lewis Hamilton with a 2.7 second lead at Silverstone with six laps to go. It could be his ninth win here which would set an F1 record for most wins on one circuit
