When I lived in Germany in the early 90's there were chips (crisps to you in the UK) that were listed as "Ungarisch" and I was confused. Turns out they are "Hungarian style" and what is called "bar-b-q chips in the US (paprika). Delicious.

Love how instantly integral Roscoe became to the Hamilton image. Like everyone murmured, ‘yes, this feels RIGHT. We didn’t know it before but now we see he was always lacking a funny little dog.’

Race week Vibes courtesy of an obvious song with a hilariously OTT video that’s Octopussy meets Indiana Jones, from the later director of Highlander.

I enjoyed the amount of text devoted to goulash.
Rightly so, it is *delicious*. No wonder multiple nations claim it.

It can never be all bad if there is a dog in the story.

I enjoy your comments.
Just sayin'

It looks a bit moist!

The flood seems to have been a temporary setback, and it is not anticipated to disrupt the upcoming F1 events.
Whatever that mean.

The Hungarian national dish is Gulyás, also known internationally as Goulash. It’s a rich and hearty beef stew that is seasoned with Hungary’s favorite spice, paprika, and includes a variety of seasonal vegetables. Goulash is a beloved dish across Hungary, often served with bread, atop mashed potatoes, or simply enjoyed in a bowl. It’s emblematic of the country’s rich agricultural tradition and meat-centric cuisine.
It also gave the country its name in English. After a bowl of it, you're hungary for more.

There was a big storm today but it's looking hot & dry for the weekend itself.
Hoping for a bit of a Ferrari comeback given the conditions & track layout.

I disagree. Only fast food fits F1.

In comparison to any other active driver of the time?

It is genuinely not the worst map of the circuit I’ve seen published.
Also, if it was Indycar, they genuinely would have a stupid chicane after the last corner. Probably due to some railways tracks crossing the circuit or something.

I actually thought that was the trace of Vettel's 360 ten years ago.Interesting kink just before the straight. Track-limits will be a problem, because all drivers will try to straightline it by taking too much curb.

That reminds me, my son was clamouring to get the snazzy Lewis Hamilton Fortnite skin this week, not because he loves F1 (he doesn't, the swine) but mainly for Roscoe.

Yes, he's the original Roscoe. Coco unfortunately crossed the rainbow bridge a few years ago - that's why Roscoe's instagram page is "roscoelovescoco".
As for Leo and now Simba, well, I have plenty of thoughts on dogs being used as fashion accessories for clout-chasing wannabe influencers, that don't belong here...

Apparently the roof has blown off the McLaren hospitality twice since setup began on Monday. At this point perhaps McLaren should just replace it, it's clearly cursed.

The railway track car jumps was the craziest thing I ever did see in car racing
The craziest thing was that it happened at two separate circuits.

I mean...even McLaren's attempts at Ferrari emulation in Silverstone didn't put them behind the original Ferrari.

Couple of new chicanes added across the track judging by the map? Why are they constantly trying to slow this sport down...
Posted 18 July 2024 - 08:00
I want to learn me some of those paintskills. Because that map is pretty accurate!
Posted 18 July 2024 - 08:01
The map is certainly much better than what drivers usually come up with in the "draw the track" social media stuff.

Voiced by the singer from Toto (think hold the line rather than this is so not right) who also sang the Gummy Bears theme tune and is son of the great John Williams.
Fab internet rabbit hole that, definitely Google the meaning of M’Toto in Swahili.
Joseph Williams came along later on in the Toto Line-up, Don't know who sang "Hold the line" OTOMH.
Toto was fairly well known early on already in the Netherlands and I liked their music since those early days already, way before `IV` with Rosanna & Africa came along and made them big worldwide
But Joseph Williams was one of the two main singers on what is possibly Toto's best song ever: "Home of the brave"
With "the Lion king" songs I first think about Elton John & "Circle of live"

If your not bringing a dog to the race track are you even trying to boost your brand?
if you left it to Lewis a few years ago he still would have brought along a lap dog driver for team mate as well.

I enjoyed the amount of text devoted to goulash.
The me the ULTRA-HD picture of the track with all the possible information as well as the interactivity was just commendable.
On a slightly more serious note - 70+ laps on a seemingly scorching heat makes for an endurance race - hopefully it also melts the tires so that we´ll get 4-stoppers and drama.
