Wotcha talkin' 'bout boys?  I can hear the farkin engines here in Brighton - they absolutely howl.  Don't want no stinkin' V8 sheet.

Yeah, I rode past the course this morning, on a road about 20 metres from the track and they were doing some early runs (in fact, it wasn't completely light). They're still farken loud.

I have zero empathy for people who crash. Like, obviously I'd prefer not to see them crash, but I don't get that instinc that some riders get when they wince and shy away. [censored] that. Gimme more!

Lucky I'm not a betting man. Although if that rain hadn't intervened I reckon I was looking good for the Cinquilla.
Still, another couch arvo tomorrow, for sure.

That's because you're the kind of guy that finds a way to crash his hospital bed during your annual extended stay, let alone master the feat of balancing on two wheels. :p You should take up unicycling while wearing a straight jacket and spray paint TAN on the front of it.

Dead pool fail - some guy with a 45 kg scrotum (of diabetes, according to other reports).

The tragedy for him was that he lived in America, where without health insurance, he was unable to get timely medical attention. He would not have been famous if he had been able to get it treated when it was the "size of a honeydew melon".

Oh [censored]! Some talentless chick just murdered the national anthem!

Bottas - what an unfortunate name.

Good race so far. What a [censored] of technology. I hope we have a few engines blow.

Hamilton and Vettel both out. Seems the teams are being very conservative, they only have 5 engines for the season, no point blowing one on the first race.

You mean PhD, right? Last I heard PHD was an acronym for Push Here Dummy, which is quite apt given your need for regular wheelchair assistance and the like.

It's a bit bullshitty how the F1 puts so much emphasis on the nationality of the drivers, coz (obviously) the teams are pro organisations that don't represent countries, and the drivers on each team are usually from different nations.
It's a passing interest, and that's about it.

Rant! Ha

True, but I have to say Daniel Ricciardo did a pretty good job this weekend first with qualifying and then to hold his position for the whole race.

Not so fast taggsimajagsi..... http://www.theage.com.au/sport/motorsport/daniel-ricciardo-podium-finish-in-doubt-over-excessive-fuel-consumption-20140316-hvjfp.html

WTF?

Exceeding maximum fuel flows? These F1 regs get sillier by the year.

They can measure the flow per hour out the car urethra.... yet we can't find a farkin jumbo jet........
