Been ill for some time.

Red Bull weren't just involved in F1, they were involved in almost any motorsport going. And of course in downhill mountain bike racing, Red Bull Rampage.

RB backed many sports and not just at the top level. Brilliant marketing .

It's far wider than that, I was going to suggest anything with wheels, but it's even more than that, climbing, diving, air sport including planes, gliders, paraglide, hot air balloons, surprising although they may without my knowledge been involved in professional cycling?

It will be interesting to see if the sponsorship continues now, was it driven by him or the company?

Tom Pidcock has some link to Red Bull not quite sure of the sponsorship links but in his days at at Trinity racing he would often have a red bull drink during warm ups for cx races

I did wonder if the contents wouldn't pass the 'tests' at the higher professional level

And a liar is just as bad.

Yes, awful.

The British driver protested by vowing to defy the jewellery clampdown, and argued that he had piercings in some areas that could not simply be removed.
Hamilton admits he wasn't being honest.
"I was just f***ing with it," he said. "I don't have any other piercings anywhere. But I love that there's this thinking 'shoot, has he got his balls pierced?'"

Hanging's too good.

Pause for a sec though... he has a nose piercing which he did remove and which then became infected necessitating the reinsertion of the stud. Doesn't that mean that he does have a piercing that could not be simply removed...?

There is a caffeine limit for athletes. If you had 3 cans an hour before a race you would probably be over the limit.

Well, anyone else enjoy that? I love it when we get a really great race!

I don't think I stuck enough pins in the voodoo doll...

You need something personal to the person for the doll to work.

So what do we think about the Russell Sainz tangle, what do we think about the Stroll Alonso tangle.

For my piece,

I think Russell was unlucky, he was being optimistic by going into that space, but Sainz lacked spacial awareness & jinked left closing the space that Russell was entering, I would like to see the telemetry of Verstappen's car, I suspect it will show a little lift, he was trying to block pass Sainz.

The Stroll incident is very reminiscent of Verstappen when he first arrived in F1, they introduced a rule to stop him blocking passes like they do in F3, Stroll has been doing this quite a few times in the last few races, it smacks of a desperate driver knowing they are going to get beaten. He deserves a grid drop at the next race, just like Verstappen should have had on multiple occasions at the beginning of his career.

The Russell Sainz tangle, racing incident, I didn't see the Stroll Alonso tangle, I got called away and didn't see it.

I agree about Stroll , he seems to do a lot of wandering about and gets away with it !
