Finally watched Spain last night.

Max is an ass.

The Lance wrist thing was kinda dumb on the teams part, if they knew it was an issue why not run a alternate driver for a few laps in practice just in case?

Montreal is on ABC around 10:30 tomorrow for the pre race.

I think there may be more to it than that with Lance.  He does not appear to be a happy camper.

Max is a frustrated shit when things aren't going his way.  He may be on his way out at the end of the year if he doesn't get his stuff together.

Meanwhile my man Ham either can't drive his car or his team gives him bad strategy advice (orders?)

Race has come and gone, fairly interesting even if it did end under a safety car.  One of the Papayas took the other out.

Watched it, guess Max didn't get in trouble for passing Russel under a yellow?

I think one papaya used the other to take themselves out.

A good race today, the Papayas kept us entertained with about 17 laps of wheel to wheel racing.

WTF?

I love this quote: Oliver Mintzlaff said in a statement. "Thank you for everything, Christian, and you will forever remain an important part of our team history."  Just, obviously, not our future :D

His payout was huge, he is laughing all the way to the bank.  A lot of the main people have left in the last couple of years.  I would not be surprised if Max doesn't pull the plug and either retire or move to another team.  Once that happens they will plummet to last place.

They built a car that only Max can drive, not really a wise idea.

Hour rain delay,  followed by some very interesting mid field racing.

Interesting tidbit:


The team in last place has scored more points at this stage of the season, than any other last place team has scored all season.

Watched the Hungary race last night finally.  It was a pretty good race, not sure what happened with the Ham Ver issues that was investigated after the race.  I haven't looked into it but I have to guess they figured it out by now.

My DVR is already set to record the next race.

I hear that F1 may end up on Apple TV next year, I'll be done watching if that happens.
