The best part of qualy was when my son said to my wife, "mom blow me"
(he had been blowing her kisses and wanted her to blow one back)
With that pole, Lewis moves ahead of Vettel for 3rd all time for most career poles behind GOAT and some brazilian dude.

The Garmins is really good. I use the older 500, as the more recent ones have grown to tablet sizes (not literally, but still too damn big IMO). They grab the GPS signal fast and have support errywhere.
The Strava app is meh. With a Garmin head unit you wont even have to upload your info anywhere. You can check all of you ride info there. Simples.

OH. Honda taking the blame for Silverstone qualy. Quoted as saying the engine spec used today (from Spain & Bahrain) is ~100HP down on Merc. Wanted to spend some tokens for Budapest but didn't want to take a penalty when they brought a new engine. Decided to just suck ***** at Silverstone instead.
Job done on the last part.

Aston Martin is negotiating a shock return to Formula 1 in a tie-up with Red Bull for next season that would bring the team Mercedes engines.
In a deal that is currently still under negotiation, Aston Martin would become brand partner with four-time world champion team Red Bull Racing in exchange for brokering a deal for it to run the dominant Mercedes F1 engine.
Mercedes owns five per cent of Aston Martin, which competed in F1 for just two seasons, in 1959 and 1960 (pictured below), with very limited success.
Under the deal Mercedes would be recognised as the official engine supplier of Red Bull, but Aston Martin would become a partner and have branding on the cars.
The deal is said to have the blessing of Mercedes, which is eager to run more customer teams to offset the costs of its investment in F1 and does not consider Aston Martin to be a competitor for road car sales.
The talks are understood to have been instigated by Aston Martin boss Andy Palmer and its director of marketing and communications Simon Sproule, both of whom were credited for Infiniti's long-term sponsorship deal with Red Bull when they worked for Nissan.
Infiniti is the upmarket brand of Nissan, which is in an alliance with Renault.

Final result sucked, but that was a damn fine watch.
Thoughts:
-Williams sucks ***** at calling a race. They wouldn't win after seeing their pace in the rain, but still.
-LOL @ MAX
-Fred punts out JB, but scores a point! Hooray!

From another thread:
When the factory Mercs still beat a Merc powered RBR car, what sort of tantrum will Horner & Co. throw then? RBR are alienating themselves.
Besides, why would Merc want more competition from Red Bull? They have teams that make them look good without actually getting in their way for glory. A wonderful situation they have for themselves.

Why didn't Williams pit Massa the same time Hamilton came in? They saw the difference new (hard) tires had on lap times after Ferrari pitted. And they knew Hamilton would put in a much quicker lap when he wasn't being held up.
