The speculation is that if the race doesn't go ahead there will be 'difficulties' for the teams when they try to leave the country. I feel like we've heard something like that from Saudi Arabia before...

I can foresee a situation where the drivers form a united front and refuse to qualify tomorrow. Media personnel like Ralf Schumacher for Sky Germany are already choosing to head out, and who can blame them. If a missile can hit a few miles from the track, then a second one can hit the track.

It's not great. The team hasn't been anywhere near the level of the summer, and a lot of key players are out injured, but there's no excuse for not beating North Macedonia. Still, that trophy sure is nice. This may mean I have to support England at an international tournament for the first time since... oh, the last World Cup.

I caved in the end and got it because I really like the look of MyFaction and everything else is just a bonus. Unfortunately it seems that 5 years without playing a WWE game has left me very rusty, as I discovered by taking 20 minutes to finish off Kushida in the very first MyFaction match on just Normal difficulty...

Jorge Masvidal and friends have allegedly given Colby Covington a beatdown in a Miami street attack. Whatever you think about Covington, and he says more than enough to get people to hate him, sucker-punching him outside a restaurant is not the smartest life choice.

This is why getting knocked out of every cup competition is so important - so we can beat the exhausted teams who foolishly stay in them.

"Lapped cars may now overtake the safety car". Those words should come with a trigger warning these days. Not a great ending for Red Bull then. Magnussen's going to get P5!

Watching the McLarens crawl around at the back again is depressing, and it all seems to be engine related. Outside of the works team, the other 6 Mercedes powered cars are in the last six places.

If you have some free time you could do worse than watch F2 this year. Based on the first two races it's going to be bonkers at every opportunity.

Bottas ahead of Russell, Magnussen P7, and a hell of a battle in prospect at the front between Ferrari and Red Bull. This is very nicely set up for the season.

Hulk outqualifying Stroll is already a wonderful moment. I know it's the car, but I like to think that the Russian flag livery was clamping down the Haas and removing it has freed them up.

Has anyone got any Supercard promo codes from 2K22 that they don't intend to use? It's not just because I'm fed up of losing to the 2K22 cards so often, honest .

As sad as I am that Seb misses out, there is never a Hulk return that I'm not excited about.

Does nobody at the club have any concept of how utterly mindless this request is? The Abrambovich chants last week were a PR nightmare but at least it was somewhat out of their control, this is all their own doing and is making them look incredibly tactless.

I can usually cope with us losing, it's part of the experience, but I can't stand losing exclusively to that egomaniacal, rapist, tax-dodging cunt.

Poor Poch. He doesn't deserve the inevitable onslaught he's going to get from this defeat.

Meanwhile this turd will just not flush. Nikita Mazepin is forming a foundation to fight for the rights of sportspeople banned for political reasons. It's funded by his own personal fortune! Not really, it's funded by the Uralkali money that isn't going to Haas.

That's a real surprise. Steiner has mentioned Magnussen's "immediate availability" which makes me wonder if some of their preferred options couldn't get out of existing contracts, having already realised that Fittipaldi wasn't going to be much use. I have to wonder where the replacement money that Mazepin brought in is going to come from now.

He may have a second foot after all. What a finish, again.

You could taxi a plane between the Everton defence. Only notoriously one-footed Harry Kane stopped it being 3. That's his one foot. What a finish.

My first instinct is that being an FIA licenced game it's going to be completely locked in to the drivers/teams already in existence, and customisation will be at a minimum. The website already indicates you can only join an existing team, not start a new one.

Yeah I did see a few in the end. The weirdest part of the 2017 cut-off is Lewis Hamilton's career history, they went to the extent of making an entire feature on him as he's the "maestro" who helps them develop the game, but his timeline stops at 2017. It therefore doesn't cover his 5th, 6th and 7th world titles, his passing of the records for wins, poles and points, nor any of his activism, and he gets a paragraph about his MBE but nothing about his knighthood. Not having the time to put in entire new cars I can understand, but not bothering with simple blocks of text and getting a public use image is a bit strange.
