Whilst he is a first-class driver, Verstappen is also an aggressive bully. Hopefully today will have taught him there's one driver who won't take any of his sh*t any more.

Personally I think the crash was Verstappen's fault, but I'm in a minority. At worse it was a racing incident, not worth a penalty. Didn't watch to the end, turned over to ITV4 to watch real sportsmen.

Mrs OFSO wants it known she is disgusted with the commentators. Coulthard should be pensioned off, whining on and on. And the Australian git, pure anti-Hamilton.

Had a farewell lunch for a departing friend so problematic staying awake afterwards. Eating my starter provoked the same sensation as when the door to Paradise opens and you can peek in. Fresh figs with local mozzarella cheese in a vinaigrette and honey sauce. (Below). Then crusty baked duck. Fresh strawberries in a cream custard sauce.

FIA do not agree.

Lieutenant Roy O. Hesketh (1915 in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa – 19 September 1944, above Great Bitter Lake, Egypt) was a South African racing driver and South African Air Force pilot.

Lieutenant Roy Hesketh died in Egypt in an aircraft collision in the Second World War. The Roy Hesketh Circuit in Pietermaritzburg was named after him.

He was buried at the Fayid War Cemetery in Fayid, Egypt.- Wikipedia

The FIA stewards came down hard on the submission by Red Bull yesterday, writing that in using Albon to recreate The Incident on their film day they had fabricated new evidence rather than discovering actual evidence. Request for a review rejected.

A volunteer marshal has died after being hit by a car which spun off the track during a race at the Brands Hatch circuit.

An air ambulance landed on the circuit after police and paramedics were sent to the track near Dartford, Kent, at 3pm on Saturday.

The car had crashed into barriers and rolled several times before colliding with the marshal’s post. The condition of the driver has not been disclosed.

The crash occurred during a British Automobile Racing Club (BARC) car championship event. Racing was cancelled for the remainder of the day.

Motorsport UK, the sport’s governing body, said it is “deeply saddened” by the accident.

A spokesperson added: “The race meeting was immediately suspended and Motorsport UK, together with the event organiser, has begun a full investigation into the circumstances of the incident. The thoughts of everyone at Motorsport UK are with the marshal’s family, the organisers of the event, and other members of the motorsport community who were present.”

BARC said in a statement: “On behalf of everyone connected with the BARC, we are devastated by the loss of one of the amazing volunteer marshal community who do so much to enable the sport to take place. Our thoughts and best wishes are with the family and friends of all those involved. It is anticipated that the event will resume on Sunday.”

A spokesman for Kent police said the force was called following a collision involving a car and two people on foot at Brands Hatch.

He said officers attended the scene and carried out inquiries with no suspicious circumstances being reported.

Last week, at the same course, Brad Jones suffered an accident during a race in the British Superbike Championship and was induced into a coma.

The rider sustained serious injuries in the head, chest and pelvis, and remains at King’s College Hospital in London.
