    Yes.

    I had a neighbor that wasn't happy unless she was bitching about something.

    I really wish Max could win a legit title. Since the first 1 was gifted by Massi and these last 2 years don’t count because he’s clearly in a far superior car, he just can’t catch a break. Typical /sarcasm

    I like Button also. It seems that ex drivers make the best announcers!

    It seems sidepods work wonders.

    Not Danica

    So what was Merc thinking going with no side pods? More undisturbed air to the rear wing?

    Danica isn't that bad, better than Dale Jr. or any of the Nascar hillbillies.
    Benz did run better this race....even Lewis thought so.

    I wonder if they added any weight lower in that chassis?

    Don't think they needed any weight...

    "Per police regulation, employees of the London General Omnibus Company put their 60-person bus to a “tilt test”. The test was considered passed if the double-decker buses would tilt 28 degrees without tipping. There are sandbags in the upper deck to simulate 60 passengers."

    Yep. Those double decker buses have a ridiculous lean angle before they keel over. The factory that built the old "Routemaster" buses was quite close to where I grew up and I knew several people who worked there and they used to tell stories about the stupid stuff the test drivers would do with them on their little test track before they tipped over.

    Ricciardo and Will Arnett are going to be doing a "Manning Cast", alternate commentary for the next 3 F1 races. ESPN 2 will be covering it apparently.
