I'm sure they have a reserve driver on the books, but it Hulk was to get a shot in the Mercedes...

I came here to give the stat about him being the fourth Fittipaldi, stupid last paragraph . I'll still point out they were previously (and I guess still are until Sunday) tied with the Villeneuves and the Brabhams on 3. Despite him being the fourth it's a weird mix so that it can't be said that "three generations" have raced. Emerson did, Pietro is his grandson, but Christian being Wilson's son means that the Emerson->Pietro bloodline skips a generation.

Taskmaster one-off New Year special announced Rylan Clark-Neill (X Factor, a lot of other things) Shirley Ballas (Strictly judge) John Hannah (Actor, part of a Touch of Cloth which is hilarious) Nicola Coughlan (Derry Girls) Krishnan Guru-Murthy (Channel 4 News) At first I thought this was a new series group and was utterly baffled by most of the names.

Amazing, couldn't script it. I will now spend a significant amount of time worrying we could be on the end of the biggest upset in footballing history.

That's essentially what happened with Ferrari and Bridgestone for most of the 2000s, which I expect prompted so many teams to jump to Michelin. But hey, if that hadn't happened, Tiago Monteiro wouldn't have a podium to his name.

I did enjoy the tyre wars in the 90s between Goodyear and Bridgestone, and to a lesser-extent the Bridgestone/Michelin days of the 2000s. Pirelli really can just coast by without anyone to challenge them which doesn't seem to have helped. If they were going to change anything though I'd like it to be to simply make all 5 compounds of tyres available to everyone for every race, and make the teams have to figure out which strategy is going to be the best.

And now Stroll is upside-down. His completely non-plussed reporting of the situation was great though.

The halo must have saved him from the barrier probably going... through him, for want of a better term, in the same way it split the car in half. It looks like he had to unstrap and escape behind him through the hole that used the other half of the car. I don't know if that barrier is getting fixed any time soon, if at all today.

Jesus fucking Christ. Thank God he's OK, that looked absolutely horrific. How the hell does something like that happen these days? The absolute state of that car. I genuinely don't understand how he survived, let alone got away with just limping.

Lots of outrage about the Paul/Robinson match and how these celebrity bouts are going to end up with someone getting seriously hurt, or that it's a stain on the character of boxing to allow complete novices to get licenced so easily. Both are of course true, but the most truest part of this is that money is always going to be more important than either of those issues.

Absolutely. I mean from most angles it certainly looks like he's staring at Bale, but that was merely part of the deception.

I really enjoyed SpiderMiles but £50 for a game that length seems a bit steep, annoyingly I forgot it wasn't anywhere as big as the first game despite reading that months ago. Post-game credit scene spoilers below: Got NBA2K21 because I really needed a third game, thankfully MK11 has downloaded so I'll have that for the rest of the week. Just 71 hours of downloading to go for 2K now...

And Jayson Tatum has signed for the exact same terms in Boston. Elsewhere: Harry Giles to the Trail Blazers Kent Bazemore to the Warriors Sterling Brown to the Rockets E'twaun Moore to the Suns Juan Hernangomez re-signs with the T-Wolves Willy Hernangomez to the Pelicans Austin Rivers to the Knicks Torrey Craig and Bryn Forbes to the Bucks Willie Cauley-Stein re-signs with the Mavericks 76ers trade Zhaire Smith to the Pistons for Tony Bradley Bol Bol has been signed to a standard NBA contract instead of a two-way contract, so will likely get playing time this season.

More from overnight: Serge Ibaka to the Clippers Tristan Thompson to the Celtics Kentavious Caldwell-Pope re-signs with the Lakers Carmelo Anthony re-signs with the Trail Blazers Nerlens Noel to the Knicks Brad Wanamaker to the Warriors Paul Millsap re-signs with the Nuggets Jevon Carter re-signs with the Suns Jeff Teague to the Celtics

Rajon Rondo to the Hawks Jaylen Adams to the Bucks Also after all the Pelicans' roster moves, Zion Williamson is now the longest serving member of the Pelicans roster.

Very much this. There's an early scene inside a building with neon signs (kept as vague as possible to avoid spoilers) where everything is reflected on the floor to perfection, and I was just in awe. I'm starting to think I may have to buy a 4K TV to make it really special though. The game itself is as great as the first one, just finished the fifth mission (the kicking off point really) so I'm super excited as to how things are going. Meanwhile I have 49 hours as the estimated time for my MK11 download. I have a feeling patches are going to be a nightmare.

I live in his shadow, merely making lists of what most people already know! As well as the Hayward deal we've had: Avery Bradley to the Heat Jae Crowder to the Suns Kris Dunn to the Hawks DJ Augustin to the Bucks Fred VanVleet resigns with the Tampronto Raptors Moe Harkless to the Heat D'Anthony Melton to the Grizzlies Bobby Portis to the Bucks

Last retirement Austria 2018, since when he has won the 2018, 2019 and 2020 titles. Ridiculous.

Some random stuff from the last 12 hours. Dwight Howard signs with the 76ers, 1 hour after tweeting his loyalty to the Lakers Goran Dragic re-signs with the Heat De'Aron Fox re-signs with the Kings (for 5 years, max extension of $163M) Steven Adams being traded to the Pelicans as part of a multi-team trade, most likely expanding the Jrue Holiday trade with the Bucks, with OKC likely to get another 1st round pick from it Danilo Gallinari signs with the Hawks Jeremi Grant signs for the Pistons Wes Matthews to sign for the Lakers Davis Bertans re-signs for the Wizards Joe Harris re-signs for the Nets Jordan Clarkson signs for the Jazz Christian Wood signs for the Rockets Derrick Favors to sign (and I guess re-sign) for the Jazz Derrick Jones signs with the Trail Blazers Jakob Poeltl re-signs with the Spurs Enes Kanter traded to the Trail Blazers in a three way trade involving Mario Hezonjia and Desmond Bane from Memphis JaMychal Green signs for the Nuggets Marcus Morris re-signs for the Clippers Mason Plumlee signs for the Pistons Malik Beasley re-signs for the T-Wolves Rodney Hood re-signs for the Trail Blazers Trey Burke signs for the Mavericks Jahlil Okafor signs for the Pistons Pat Connaughton re-signs for the Bucks Robin Lopez signs for the Wizards And Bogdan Bogdanovic is expected to sign an offer sheet from the Hawks.

I'm stuck between Tampronto Raptors or the Toronto Ramptas.

The Bogdanovic/Bucks deal has hit a major snag, that being that Bogdanovic hadn't agreed to it, with Woj reporting it as a done deal way too early and everyone losing their shit when he did. Here's the best breakdown I can find of it.

Mine arrived this afternoon but didn't get back from work until 7, and my current internet speed is under 1 Mb/s. Spiderman MM has an expected download time of 31 hours. Thankfully Astro's Playroom has been really fun, this controller is a whole new level.

I would, but I've got to sleep after the T-Wolves pick! And that pick is Anthony Edwards. I would have preferred Wiseman but at least it's not LaMelo.

Anthony Edwards has done an interview where he says he doesn't care about basketball, would drop the sport in a second if he got an invite to the NFL, and wants to be a rapper more than an all star. This #1 pick could not have happened at a worse time.

Yes, my current life goal is to be the Lineker of the NBA.
