I think the lack of competition between the 2 drivers in the best car adds to the predicatbility - not a new problem, but the gap between Max and Perez is very wide. The budget cap has meant that if you get it wrong, there's not a lot you can do about it - can't throw money at the problem. I do...

They need to adjust some of the games - gauntlet is just a free 10 points for everyone, need to be narrower or they should be allowed to pin or push them out. something needs doing with the safety rope on the wall, it takes all the weight when the gladiator catches the contestant.

Pleased for Sainz - Ferrari have made the wrong choice ditching him. Perez manages to make the Red Bull look ordinary - he's supposed to pick up the wins on days like today. A day to forget for Merc, the gap is getting wider.

At least when he was getting beat by Lando he had the excuse that Lando is looking like a really good driver - I don't think Tsunoda is held in such regard.

Over 2100 nuclear warheads have been detonated in tests.

On paper they might have many ships - but looking at the wikipedia list, they only have 27 main surface combatants, only a handful more than the UK and half the number that Japan has and I'm sure there are many other countries with similar numbers.

They're doing pretty well in the Black Sea, only lost 20% of their fleet to a nation with no Navy.

It's even more impressive as the crew and passengers were all completly unaware of the impending disaster and no one would have been primed to react and then the plane was less than ideally positioned with half the exits blocked by fire. Odds were really against them, great job by crew and...

I think Russia would like to keep western democracies and culture away from its borders - it has seen East Germany, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, Hungry, the baltics and all the other eastern block countries move to the west - Ukraine was next and probably then Belarus. The elite in Russia new they...

I think it respects its own Air Defence Systems and doesn't think it could safely operate over Ukraine. I really expected a concentrated effort to destroy all of Ukraines Area Air defence systems, but it ended up just being a half hearted attempt and they now seem to lack the concentration of...

For a country so vast, Russia has a very small population, which was shrinking before the war and has a very low life expectancy for a developed country. In the long term this war is really going to hurt their demographics - I think Russia's shrinking population was one of the causes for this...

But isn't that just because the life expectancy is low in russia? Not because they have good youth demographics.

I suppose it depends how far you are into the mortgage - 5pc probably doesn't bother you that much if you have a couple of years to go - but much more painful if you are only a couple of years in.

She was just on her 'High Horse' the actual horse wasn't bothered at all.

He probably will the next time, he didn't get any appreciation for doing the right thing.

Was out on my bike today and came across 3 horse riders crossing the road, there was a car coming from the opposite direction and it stopped at least 10 metres away to let them pass, didn't blow his horn or rev his engine or anything. However the 3rd rider took great offence that his music was...

They left Afghanistan and had suffered far fewer casualties and much less economic damage.

Jamie Chadwick?

Yes, I do agree - depends what you need out of a race I guess; win at all costs or play the numbers game and accept that some points are better than none. We are at the time of season where everyone can take risks - championships are decided and everyone just wants a win.

F1 drivers don't often seem to see backing out as an option and they really should - especially if you're likely the one to come off the worst from any collision or have more to lose.
