Bauer has no role to play though, he's not even training with the team! He'll be gone as soon as he can find a club. So that leaves only Theo + Augustinsson + Beijmo for LB/RB with Friedl as a backup. Not great, not terrible. That's why we tried to get Henrichs desperately and are now apparently looking at Bernardo (ex Leipzig). I think we will sign another fullback before the transfer window shuts regardless of Toprak deal.

Haha yeah they bought the controlling package like three or four years ago. Hence all the marketing actions to advertise the sport in the US.

I mean they recently allowed women to drive and to travel without a male guardian's approval so she'll probably be fine Liberty Media owns F1...

Liberty Media in talks with Saudi Arabia to hold a new Grand Prix in 2021.

Maaaaybe if you're lucky... I loved living in Holland but the weather is really shite for the most part haha.

I mean that's Netherlands; what else do you expect???

Duck; goose; who cares. Both delicious

We're about to sign Ömer Toprak from BVB for a reported fee of 5m. He's said to be willing to take a big wage cut (half) to make it happen.

Yeah...another "great" Spanish tradition just like bull fighting. Even worse in fact but at least these days the duck is already dead before they decapitate it

I identify most with the duck that's about to be decapitated tbh

I was never a fan but I didn't really mind him when he was a driver. Until he retired "to spend time away with his family" only to return as a "vlogger" and a "podcaster" on youtube and whatnot and spout shite to the media or anyone else who'd listen to him in order to stay relevant. The thing is, his videos and stuff are all mostly clickbait that is pretty much at the level of yellow press and tabloids; you'd expect a bit more technical insight from someone with his experience and connections yet all he talks about is either generic stuff anyone could say or just pure celebrity-gossip like nonsense. Also he always talks over people and steers the conversation into talking about himself... I remember watching his podcast with Toto Wolff (because I like him) and it's also unbelievable how Rosberg managed to make everything about himself whenever it was possible and was blowing his own horn on every occasion Also likes to shit on people everytime and changes his opinion whenever it suits him. An annoying spineless tit; a typical example of modern day "journalism".

Ugh.

Verstappen, Russell and Perez are the three drivers who outqualified their teammates by the biggest margin in the first half of the season. Other drivers are very evenly matched; the gap is smallest between Leclerc/Vettel and Kvyat/Albon.

As much as I'm all for giving young drivers time, Gasly is costing Red Bull a lot and it's probably a good time to consider if keeping him at the team is worth it at all. Lapped by his teammate today, can't be used as a part of strategy to hold off other teams as he's just too far behind to be a danger to either Mercedes or Ferrari (or even McLaren today), and just doesn't seem capable of improving.

I prefer the term "fucked up in the head" in cases like these.

Gasly v Verstappen quali head to head comparison: Australia: Gasly out in Q1 Bahrain: Gasly out in Q2 China: +0.841 Baku: Gasly out in Q1 Spain: +0.351 Monaco: +0.6 Canada: Max out in Q2 France: +0.775 Austria: +0.760 + lapped in race England: +0.314 Germany: +0.409 Hungary: +0.878

Rain happened... On an unrelated note; Happy Biersday everyone!

Frankfurt are through to the 3rd qualifying round after beating Flora Tallinn 4-2 on aggregate. Incredible atmosphere in the stadium again. Also applauded by the opponents after the match, Frankfurt fans applauded them back and chanted their city name in return and the Estonian players then showed their appreciation for Frankfurt fan by throwing a few shirts to them Flora's manager said they went to applaud Frankfurt fans after the match because it was the best atmosphere they've ever seen. Class.

Got Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic today. A true city planners and engineers dream. A huge map, very complex infrastructure, industry and economy and a LOT of micromanagement (buying buses, building bus stops near areas that need workers and then assigning routes for each vehicle, managing work loads and setting shift pattern at the factories, relocating citizens, designing railroad systems complete with rail traffic signals and cargo management, optimising industry, managing imports and exports in different currencies through customs offices at the border, terraforming, managing unemployment, researching chemistry and technical parts at universities, etc). Basically a city builder, logistics manager and economy tycoon in one, set in a fictional Soviet Republic from the 60s to the 80s. Very authentic not only in complexity but also in terms of using real-life objects (building styles, actual vehicle models) of the eastern-bloc at that time; different vehicles even become available only when you reach a certain year when they were actually built in the real world. Didn't expect it to be so complex and so complicated judging from the trailer, probably the most in-depth and detailed game I've ever seen in this genre. Still a bit unpolished as it's in development and even more new features are being added. Will not everyone's cup of tea but those who liked the original Tropico or transport tycoon style games will definitely enjoy it a lot. Can easily see thousands of hours in the game.

There's a thread for it

Montoya currently leads IMSA Sportscar Championship; still as fast and fearless as ever Mine was always Michael Schumacher. Got into F1 properly because of him; nobody else even comes close.

Brilliant, one more planet to destroy!
