F1 will be hosting its first ever oval race in London around the M25 -10 Laps with mandatory stops at local tescos for the drivers to get items for the mechanics for every pitstop they make during the race.

BREAKING NEWS

 

Insiders from the paddock have strong sources who've stated Lewis will hang up his helmet at the end of the year after a difficult start to the season. With the prospect of toxic Red Bull domination and Alonso never set to age and retire, it's unlikely Lewis can find anywhere to comfortably compete at the front of the grid. Lewis is said to have no more faith in Mercedes after they didn't listen to his advice about which aerodynamical direction to head towards. He has apparently according to sources smashed more tables than Toto. It's evident the damage has literally been done which also explains why Angela decided to depart from the journey last month. The dream team is over. The champion will announce his retirement with a press statement later today. Michael Masi is said to read this statement to the press, which explains why he was invited to the paddock this weekend.

An end of an era... no words except thank you for everything Lewis 1f61e.png

I know that's a fool because the water is far too clear to be the Thames.

According to Pirates' code, if the last winner of the "Unofficial Livery Competition" didn't start the next event on time, the very first design using the previous template, shared on the Autosport forum, would be the winner.

& here it is:

The ’54’ element of the name refers both to the size of the engine and to the current average age of Buick customers.

I wrote to my boss today our auditors discovered 600 th euros costs unaccounted for, so we would have to take those costs up in the annual statement. He was on the phone to me all worked up only to meet my laughter. I do wonder if it was a good idea to play that joke on him, considering Im 4 months in the company, but I couldnt resist. :) At least he was a good sport about it and recognized me for getting one over on him :)

Only Endurance on X: "WINGLESS 499P?! ❌ Ferrari have been spied testing a version of the 499P Hypercar that doesn’t have a rear wing. The Italian marque look to be playing the Uno reverse card on rivals Peugeot who, only days ago, added a rear wing to their 9X8 LMH. @FerrariHypercar | #WEC https://t.co/MVh6jm5Hqh" / X (twitter.com)
