The football manager was probably and ex player .. lead by example

I wonder how much Merc are offering Massa to take the drive at Williams? It seems like the final piece of the puzzle. We’ll have to go through the whole retirement process again in Brazil. Failing that just get Massa in the Merc and bring back the Schumacher years 🙂

+1 for snow and also looking forward to watching films on tv that I havent seen at the cinema. Also kids tv on in the morning over the christmas period.
Money in the christmas pudding in school

Getting Button in the Williams seat was quite appealing to Williams a few months back!

Sky reporting on the Bottas story updated 30mins ago

http://www.skysports.com/f1/news/12433/10693133/mercedes-make-approach-for-valtteri-bottas-to-replace-nico-rosberg

BBC usually get it right.. expect Lowe and Werlein to Williams, Allison and Bottas to Merc. Williams waiting for the second offer. Expect the news story to appear on the Sky f1 site in a couple of hours.

Daily star reporting Mick to join the Merc Jnrs cant see any other reports of him in the frame for the F1 seat, highly unlikely I reckon unless the answer is 4

Better off with Werhlein , at least he has driven an F1 car. I ‘m not sure Mick has a super license to race F1 as they changed the rules such that no one can follow in the footsteps of Max. The requirements of being a a champion in one of the lower recognised series and also scoring points and having some F1 mileage. Not all three but you get the gist

Molina taking lessons from Fraudley.. I like the way they had all the prospective heavyweights in the arena to setup the announcement. I’m expecting the next announcement would be Bruno v Briggs

AJ’s style has changed since having Rob Back in the corner. No cocking the right hand and also a lower guard.

Good win for AJ .. all great fights tonight.

yes he did say tony bellend and apologised for the cheeky quip

nah hes pacing it 🙂 depends who wants it more.. Whyte has been rocked a bit ride him like a DONKEY

not done this myself but I noticed you can print postage

Brave decision is Werhlein / Alonso. If Alonso did leave McLaren who would fill the second seat of Button didn’t want the drive? Would Werhlein / Bottas take a 1 year deal in the similar vein to Magnussen in the Renault contract talks? I guess yes but you would always be looking over your shoulder as Vettel / Alonso contracts would be up in 2018

still time to head back!

Pass the tin foil hat please .. its only the Hamilton fanbois that keep going on that Hamilton should have won the championship. In years to come only the result will count. The same Hamilton conspiracy could ve been said of his time in Mclaren. Really there are other drivers in F1, its like some people have shares in Lewis Hamilton PLC
Lucky I’m not in the football thread otherwise I’d be going on about Man Utd all the time 🙂

so is Felipe Nasr

I’m off to the Jag

its actually quite warm outside 🙂 .. shame dont get many topless runners round here

Most champions win because there are in a championship car and usually one that is capable winning the constructor championship. Yes there have been occasions when the WDC is won by a team and another wins WCC.

I think Schumacher came back and won a boat load of titles after a gap in his titles. The main difference is he built a team around him to build a championship car and had a clear number 2. Hamilton, Alonso, Vettel etc.. give them a championship winning car and they will win it. As seen this year the driver cant win the championship without a decent car no matter how good some people think they are ( Hamilton in his engine eating Merc)

you can use office web online https://www.office.com/

It might be cut down great when you are on the go and also have access to one drive.

The 5100 and 6100 have built in Sims and don’t need any further subscriptions

What about waze on an old phone?. The live traffic is comparable ( using a sim with data) to tomtom 5100 I use. Once you get used to live traffic it does seem a pain to go back to one wthout. I like the fact you can see how long the jam is going to be and then find another route.

Tinfoil hats anyone? Ive got mine but it seems the Hamilton fans need to get theirs.
Agree the championship is over and move on. 2017 is going to be interesting on a driver and car front.

New colours for Mclaren and a new name for Manor?

Seeing as Hamilton’s Captain slow tactics are still fresh in the mind of the management we could well see the direction of his infractions in the form of who takes the 2nd drive. Either reinforce Hamilton’s number 1 status or make him equal status with another driver. I’ve no doubt the rumours of Hamilton’s threat of leaving are true so how could they cover it in the future. Two of your most recent WDC retiring would be a PR disaster

use a screeneo and make is as big as you like *

* well up to 100 inches

You do wonder if Lewis has put his foot down and asked for more assurances at the expense of Rosberg and hence orchestrating an ruse of Rosberg retiring ( didnt Rosberg sign a 2year deal a little while ago?)
Could he be back in 2018 after the cars have had the shakedown and everyone is more comfortable with the new rules.

How about Alonso to Merc and Button back at Mclaren? Maybe Massa having the shortest retirements ever! If Werhlein doesn’t get it he should be asking questions.

i found it funny Rosberg trying to broker a deal in the car.

“If you let me past I’ll let you back through when we’re clear”

I wonder how much Hamilton will rue Baku and Singapore where he could have stashed a few more points.

No No No oh No

cheeky Vettel holds back in the end 🙂 .. well done Nico despite the best attempts of Hamilton

I’m surprised the briggs fight didnt go ahead.. even with browne busted again.
Haye should win if Bellew doesnt fight smart. Still not convinced Haye can carry the extra weight over 12 rounds.

Both could do panto. Dont get me started on the Judges last weekend

Would it be any different if the checkout staff were just talking to one another in english whilst serving?
Or are you highlighting people from other countries working in an Asda in London that can equally be unprofessional as english speaking checkout staff?

so which country were you visiting? Clearly the staff were talking about open water swimming.. not for the faint hearted!

I have the vivoactive hr. Its the one I wear when going out and about. The battery life without gps can be up to 8 days which is much better than most smart watches. The blue tooth connectivity for messages from your phone works well when I can get it connected and the touchscreen is great for checking on the run. The screen brightness isnt great but useable, I’m not staring at it for aethetics ( it does have uploadable watch faces ) . The design of the watch is a bit underwhelming and definitely in the fitbit mode.

The garmin has replaced my cycle computer + hrm strap and I occasionally use it as my main watch.

I think chopsticks are fine for shovelling in rice.. more so that an spoon.. straight from the bowl 🙂

hang on watching a f1 driver walking up the pit lane.. i can hear the cars going in the background..

I use the dual sim , three and vodafone. The voicemail works on both and I set it to prompt which card to use when dialling out.
You can select the sim for mobile data and set mobile usage limits on both. Texts work the same way where you can select the sim to use for sending. It groups the texts under the contact so no matter which sim you use it keeps the thread. The only problem I have at the moment is I cant get the in car stereo to call out. I suspect its a bluetooth / dual sim problem prompting to choose the sim before dialling.

I had a oneplus 1 before. The oneplus 3 also has nfc which the oneplus 2 doesnt. The dash charge is fantastic. You get 60% in 30mins. So a 5- 10 minute boost gets me through the evening

Ross Brawn to Ferrari again?

nice prediction.. I expect Rosberg and Hamilton to come together with Rosberg trying to push Hamilton off the track. Mad Max ignoring the new clarification and dishing it out to Vettel and Kimi.
Danny Ric to win and do another shoey. Hulk to mqke a podium before he leaves!

I read that Nasr is in the frame for Force india due to his cash and endorsement from Bernie. Arent seats still open at Manor and Haas?

I think the 2nd car in quali usually goes on to win.. But at least it makes Rosberg have to put in a shift with the red bulls and Ferraris close behind. I wonder if Hamiltons 7th gear shift problems gets sorted overnight

@travis was that a charity ride? if so I did that last year and wouldve done that this year had I not been double booked

depends what your definition of a fat person is? Just looks like you have a bit of sibling rivalry going on that extends to a bit of fatism and wealth. Still jolly nice of you to keep an eye out for the well being of your sister.
