Stage managed for TV ratings?
Articles pay walled but even without reading it, it just sooooo feels like Bathurst most years. 980 k's of racing nearly always comes down to a safety car n "dramatic " shootout over the last couple of laps with the obligatory hysterical commentators .

Looks like he’s on thin ice. As he should be. Farcical end to the season. Most bungled situation at a critical time with all the chips on the line. Decided to ignore the rules again and become the Grand Emperor.

Michael Masi has been kicked to the kerb after stuffing up at Abu Dhabi last year, will be offered a new position within the FIA.

Sill can't believe that Hamilton and Mercedes didn't appeal, or at least, why they withdrew their appeal.

He was lucky he wasn’t punted altogether. Even the FIA has said it was a stuff up and worse, other stuff ups had occurred the last 2 years as well.

Seems he’s probably said he didn’t have the necessary support so an unfair dismissal claim might have been made if he was removed from the FIA completely.

Scott McLaughlin wins his first Indy race in the USA in just his second year in Indy Racing. Awesome effort. Super competitive series.

Maybe everyone’s had a gutful of the AFL product.
I have. Not going tonight, even though access to free tickets. Have never have had that attitude before in my life. The AFL can get *smile*.

Rumours continuing to build that Ricciardo is on thin ice at McLaren. Colton Herta (Indy) the likely replacement.

Monaco tonight. Awesome. Love that swimming pool section.

Some real good racing on right now on BeIn 3 with the Nurburgring 24 hr. The Green Hell…what a track !

Strong rumours that Australian wonder kid Oscar Piastri is very shortly about to replace Nicholas Latifi at Williams.

Two Australians racing in F1. (For now.)

Wow !!!!

"Bernie Ecclestone told a TV audience that he would “take a bullet” for Russian president Vladimir Putin."
”He said Putin “believed he was doing the right thing” for his country and that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky could have done more to stop the conflict."

Very nasty crash in the F1 last night. They earn every cent these guys when their lives are on the line like that.
