What if he's reading this though?He is. But that doesn't mean I have to agree with him.

My Garmin 705 has legs. Couldn't find it again - I'd put it somewhere safe. Checked drawer, nope the 200 is in there. Checked wardrobe, nope. Checked over bed cupboards (where all my cycling kit is) nope, not even in the shoes. Checked car, nope. Checked laptop bag (usually in there due to connecting to Garmin software) nope... Opened garage, not on bike, not in Winter shoes. Checked backpack - ah middle pocket. Phew.

Doesn't change a thing really. My personal respect for him has no bearing when it comes to a difference of opinion. Some people have been really quite snarky on some of the motor racing groups.
Although the mental image of him running out of the circuit pursued by a gazillion irate Tifosi isn't one I'd want to contemplate.
Well, to be honest, the Radio 5 Live coverage never mentioned who the driver steward was, but that doesn't make any difference.

My word, a slam dunk from a racing car. These motorised chappies are pretty versatile.

@Reynard - Or anyone who knows cats behaviour well - can you help on the subject of First Contact?
Next door used to have a cat until last summer. They now have another cat. Today, Luna came to within a yard of the back door. Bob, seven years old male, was sat just inside the house with the door open. He was just sat down calmly, not ready to pounce, not even growling. When Kizzy had a similar encounter with Luna, Kizzy ran off without any confrontation.
Does this mean that Bob and Kizzy "accept" Luna, or will arguments start in a few days' or weeks' time? Will Bob think that a younger female cat is not worth fighting. He is very good with Kizzy, who ambushes him occasionally, and he just snarls at her. What does the panel think?

Depends.
If he was looking directly at her and staring, then he's in the "this is my patch and enter at your own risk" mode.
If he was looking away, then he's trying to avoid confrontation.
If he was blinking at her, then he's totally relaxed and ok with her being there.

Might just have taken 'Kizzy' by surprise. They all have different temperaments. Our big Tortie never gave a crap about other cats, especially when she was older - she's not allowed out now due to going blind - we supervise back garden. The others have a cat run, but just watch next doors cheeky cat that sits on our run - they are quite keen to meet it, but it hisses. Leo is a rescue, and spent the first year wild. We keep him in (access to outside cat run) but when he gets out, he's out bossing the other cats - quite vocal and struts about. When next door's cat 'arrived' it caused a few tensions with our three - Leo was getting a bit 'ratty' with the younger two. That's all calmed down again, but he is still 'boss'.
They will start to tolerate each other - some cats are a little more skitty than others.

He was sat down looking at her, so maybe staring and giving her a stern warning. He had his back to me.

Well, our fluffy kittens aren't little now. 1 year on and vaccinations time, Simba is 4.3kg, and Luna is 3.2kg. Leo is 4kg. Old Tiggy is down to 5kg, and losing a bit more now, which is good as she was too big.
A year ago, and they were about 1.5kg.

It's the likeliest option. Ears are also a good indicator of feline mood, as well you probably know.
My two come out all guns blazing if they see my neighbour's cat or one of the ferals. Other cats tread lightly on difficult ground where Poppy and Lexi are concerned.

Slight change of the rules earlier in the season over the flag. Drivers and teams supported it.

Yeah, I know.
Though IMHO the second Leclerc incident was definitely a "naughty boy" flag moment - left the track, gained an advantage.
The bit that puzzles me, is why did he get a flag for the first, and then nothing for the second...
Admittedly though, it is so damn subjective. And don't I know about subjective...
