Yup. But being patient and letting them over run the clock works in your favour. Gets you closer to the point the Ombudsman will take the case on. Longer it runs the better for you IMO.

You realise that's exactly what pre season friendlies are for? Trying things out, seeing what works, what doesn't, who's performing and who isn't. I'd be more worried if FH wasn't tinkering at this stage.

These rumours are now being rubbished. Latest is that Red Bull just weren't convinced enough that Ricciardo's form is good enough consistently enough to replace Perez. Effectively decision has been deferred - If Perez continues to stink, and Ricciardo's form improvement over the last 6 races...

2025 drivers line up update: Red Bull 1. Verstappen 2. Perez (signed for 25 and 26 ... but at risk of being cut loose with either Ricciardo or Lawson slotting in) Ferrari 1. Leclerc 2. Hamilton McLaren 1. Norris 2. Piastri Mercedes 1. Russell 2. Antonelli (widely assumed the only hold up in...

In other news, Red Bull stole Audi's thunder this afternoon by announcing that Jonathan Wheatley is leaving RBR to join Audi. After a bit of delay, Audi have now confirmed the news and provided some missing detail - Wheatley will become joint Team Principal alongside Mattia Binotto, who was...

Worth mentioning from a Ricciardo viewpoint: it's well known that he "likes" a car with similar characteristics to what Verstappen likes. It's entirely possible that Ricciardo back at RBR proves to be the closest to Max (let's face it, even as a long-time Ricciardo fan I have to admit that Max...

Yep ... and the sponsorship he brings is worth more than the difference in prize money between 1st and 2nd in the WCC. Personally don't think he'll be at Red Bull for 2025. Same thing has happened two years running, they won't go for a third - especially with both McLaren and Mercedes now...

More details (rumours) starting to emerge on how this all played out. One to put very much in the "unsubstantiated" bucket for now, but it's now coming from multiple sources and detail is being filled in gradually. So, in summary, the current rumour mill suggests the following sequence of...

Reports emerging on Twitter that Perez will retain his seat for now.

Sainz confirmed at Williams: I expect this will now unblock most of the rest of the seats fairly quickly. Alpine: first they need to fill the vacated Team Principal role, now that Famin has announced he's going to spend his time focusing on the wider Alpine brand. Expect that to be announced...

Yep, I remember that. Theory was that slower bowler = less risk of injury, therefore a higher height allowance. But as you say, lots of confusion caused about what counted as a "slow" bowler. I recall one when I was at Laughton that was chest high, and the oppo claimed it wasn't a no ball...

Yeah, agree that judging it is difficult at times (and widely misinterpreted as being lower than intended). In my case it was definitely over waist height, ball only just took the bails, and I hadn't ducked low enough for my back (that the ball went over) to be below "waist height". I'm only...

The theory I've seen is that Mercedes made a mistake on the starting weight for the car and ran it too marginal. They had upgrades on the car for Friday, but they didn't work so they took them off again for Saturday. Saturday's running was all wet, and the Intermediate tyres are heavier than the...

I can, because I had it happen to me 20-ish years ago in Australia. Ducked what was a head-high full toss coming down the pitch, but it dropped like a stone after it went over my back and took the bails. *Both* umpires (same as lower leagues here - players from my side) called no-ball, but...

Good golly gosh... Uckfield 1sts played Kerala Strikers Sports Club this afternoon, at Temple Grove. We won the toss and elected to bowl first. That's about as far as the good news went. I came into the match carrying a sore back, and as such selected to field / bat. In the end, I bowled a...

Tsunoda has 60 🤣. Both for taking new power unit components. Perez had a poor Friday. Nearly a full second slower than Verstappen and not happy with the car. Could easily be his last race.

As expected ... Ocon now confirmed at Haas for 2025+ on a multi year contract.

What a race weekend just gone ... hype for the next one through the roof 😋 . Can definitely tell that the season is now very interesting just by looking at the number of post-race comments. Few things that stand out for me: 1. Stroppy toddler Max is back. We saw signs of it over the...

The Giovanni Pernice one has been running a while. The one that kicked off last week was Graziano Di Prima (who has admitted what happened). Pernice has denied the claims against him. Just looking on Google today, the "news" tab for a Google search for Strictly is awash with allegations now -...

Played at Battle a few years back when I was still at Laughton. Tiny, tiny little ground. Was annoyed at the time, given I was still yet to hit my first outdoor 6 at the time and when I'd showed up I thought "today's the day!" only to be told ... nope!
