To be fair to Max,if he does win it he'll have earned it, what with coming from so car back.

Maybe, but also maybe don’t read the thread entitled “Motorsport” until after you’ve seen them?

And stay away from social media and any broadcast news, as they always lead with “[Driver’s name] has won the F1 championship”, never giving a warning like they sometimes do for football results.

Final practice is Wuthell, Norris and Max. The media pundits get jolly excited by practice times and make all sorts of predictions for the race off the back of it, but I take it with a pinch of salt- after all, how many times has Max been well down the practice timings only to then qualify on pole or win the race by a 20+ second margin...

@raleighnut I've met Stirling Toss. From that one encounter I can see how he earned his nickname.

We we at Silverstone about 25 years ago and I was put in charge of the paddock for the afternoon, with half a dozen bobbies in full tit hat and tunic regalia (the foreign media lapped thatnsortmof thing up) to do my bidding.

I was in one particular hospitality tent where id nipped in to point Percy at thekr porcelain and was thanking lass in charge for letting me use their loo when in walks Stirling Toss, camel hair coat draped over his shoulders, entourage of two nice looking ladies and two lackeys in business attire following in his wake.

He strides up to me, no greetings or niceties, and barks at me, "tell so and so im here." Not even a please.

I made a point of disdainfully looking him up and down and replied, "certainly Sir, and who should I say is asking for him?" Old Stirling turned an odd shade of puce but the two ladies he was with were too dense to have noticed the insult. The lady maitre d I had been speaking to was spluttering with suppressed laughter.

Potential interesting combinations, especially if Norris, Piasti and Wuthell become entangled in the excitement of the early laps, or something unusual disrupts the race and McLaren fluff it up, but the likely scenario does seem to be as Mr Bolts is predicting.
