Formula 1 have posted on youtube the full replay of the 1999 European Grand Prix. In my opinion one of the most memorable races of the last 30 years. I still remember watching it live on TV as a 15 year old kid. I can’t watch it, because I feel so bad for Luca Badoer every time. Dude was gonna get a 4th place in a f***ing Minardi, what would have been his first points finish ever, and it dies on him. And he ends up being the record holder for most F1 starts without scoring a single point, I believe (even with two starts in a Ferrari as an injury sub for Felipe Massa in 2009). Dude I am with you, my buddy & I were pulling for Luca so much that night. He was a bit of a cult hero for us. Our pub quiz team was named Badoer for about 5 years.

24 years ago, NASCAR left this track for the last time to go to Texas and another event in New Hampshire, leaving this to rot. Boy, NASCAR would kill right now for their attendance.

Not surprising, you could see the team losing faith in him over the last couple of years. ESPECIALLY last year when despite giving him preferential treatment, at least for the first half of the season, LeClerc was matching and beating him, for probably a fraction of the price and ended up beating him in the championship.
Seb doesn't seem like he's willing to have an equal teammate, as soon as Riccardo was close to his level he couldn't leave Red Bull fast enough, only thing is where can he go now? Nowhere that can win will want him disrupting their team, and with the upcoming financial struggles for the team because of Coronavirus, would anyone be able to afford him?

NASCAR qualifying rules have been set for the next 2 weeks. Here's the Cup rules: 5/17 Darlington 400-mile race - Random draws for position based on team owner points by group. Groups are set as 1-12, 13-24, and 25-36. 37-40 will be from all non-charter teams in order of points. 5/20 Darlington 500-km race - Based on order of finish for 5/17 race. Finishing positions 1-20 will be inverted, positions 21-40 will remain the same. 5/24 Coca-Cola 600 - Standard qualifying to take place the day of race. 5/27 Charlotte 500-km race - As with 5/20 Darlington race, based on order of finish of Coca-Cola 600. Additional competition cautions will be used for major adjustments to compensate for lack of practice sessions.

24 years ago, NASCAR left this track for the last time to go to Texas and another event in New Hampshire, leaving this to rot. Boy, NASCAR would kill right now for their attendance. I've been bingeing on so much 90s NASCAR in the last few weeks, I really have.

The F1 merry go round for 2021 is rolling now... Sainz to Ferrari, Ricciardo to McLaren.

I am definitely pinpointing Brazil as the point where they were 100% done with his shit.

Kevin Harvick wins The Real Heroes 400 at Darlington. Anyone too surprised that Wrecky Spinhouse was the first to take himself out?

I guess whoever two people prayed for rain must want viewers to tune in to AEW (Tonight's dynamite is the go home show for Double or Nothing)or NXT
