Does memoirs/autobiography count? Cash, the autobiography of Johnny Cash is one of my all-time favourites. I also loved Wind, Sand and Stars by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, one of the best ones I've ever read. Really enjoyed Alan Alda's Never Have Your Dog Stuffed, but I highly recommend it as an audiobook narrated by Alda himself, that works better than reading the book! How to Build a Car by Adrian Newey - absolutely brilliant, even if you're not a fan of racing.

Yeah, I kind of wanted to watch it with ORF moderators Will watch on SRF2 then, I guess. Who are commentating on ntv?

Qualifying not being shown on RTL or ORF1? WTF?

Yeah, they just said that the marshal suffered a serious leg injury, while the mechanics have moderate injuries... At least nobody's life is in danger, hope they all recover fast! Why is it so slippery in the pits anyway, have never seen anything like this before.

A marshal and two mechanics injured, apparently?

I'm already hyped for Le Mans, this just makes it better. Absolutely love the Rothmans-inspired livery, and the Pink Pig (die Sau!) ist simply legendary now just need to win, would be perfect for the 70th anniversary of the marque. Test day this weekend, and only two weeks to go until the race!!!

It's a pity, but that's motorsports for you... Hope she manages to find a place somewhere else.

Yeah I saw some pics today, haha. Crazy.

It was speculated that he may replace Iannone at Suzuki, but now it seems that spot is going to Joan Mir... Today Lorenzo confirmed that he'll be riding for two more years and on a good bike, more details will be released at Barcelona. An interesting rumour is doing rounds about a Petronas-backed satellite Yamaha team for Lorenzo and Syahrin. We'll see...

Lucky you, considering the weather madness in NRW while you were gone

Thought you're done with the sport? At any case, don't worry, he's not quitting. He already confirmed that he'll ride for another two years, and it looks like he might be going back to Yamaha, or rather Marc VDS now that they are switching to Yamaha...

To be honest, I didn't

Sorry!...

My lifestyle is sadly not suitable for pets, so I have to resist the urge of getting one all the time... However, I've been sort of taking care of a few strays in the last couple of years, they just used to come and go as they please. This one was my favourite: She was absolutely terrified of people when I first met her (accidentally), but after a while I gained her trust and she used to come for food and water daily, and really enjoyed being petted. I was ready to actually take her in, she was so lovely... turned out she was not really a stray though, the owners were some local farmers and just didn't bother to take care of her. I offered to buy her off them, but they were having none of it, cunts. Then I had to move to a different place and never saw her again Still miss her.

This is 100% me, haha! I love dogs, nothing comes close to it as a pet. But when it comes to wild animals, felines are absolutely incredible. So elegant, intelligent and dangerous.

That sanctuary looks great, this is the one I'm going to: https://www.wildlifealliance.org/wildlife-phnom-tamao/ The conditions there are definitely not ideal, as they are lacking in infrastructure and financial support, but at least it's something... I see they also have a sponsorship schemes where you can "pick" an animal to sponsor continuously and they send you updates, photos and stuff haha, it's a gimmick to attract donors for sure, but a good idea nevertheless. I mean, here I am, considering it already So beautiful, I actually only learned about this particular species a few days back as I was searching for wildlife sanctuaries and rescue centers nearby, and came across the one I just described above... They are apparently the oldest of all existing cat species!

I'm officially in love. Found a local rescue center that's home for clouded leopards (among other animals), going to book a tour for next month...

Fishing is not my thing, but I find it very interesting to see how the locals do it here. Hardly anyone (except children and tourists on fishing tours) uses fishing rods, the most common way for the local is various nets and bamboo traps. Then there's also mud fishing in rice fields and deep hole fishing, mostly for catching catfish and snakeheads.

Nah, but I'm moving to a small town in the countryside right next to the national park, the jungle and the mountains, and my new place is a few hundred meters from it all So I've been seeing a lot of wildlife there already that I haven't seen before! Insects here can be so weird, although none are really dangerous...other than the mozzies and centipedes which are very nasty, but I have found a perfect repellent for it, haven't even had a single bite when I'm using it, haha. The snakes are plenty, too, including highly venomous cobras, kraits and vipers (I think we have over twenty kinds of venomous snakes here!), so while I'm fascinated by them in general, I'll definitely need to take some precautions when outside after dark...I've seen a King Cobra once on a short trek in the national park two years ago. There are quite a lot of scorpions as well, very painful stings, but none of the seriously dangerous ones... Ants can be very annoying and the bites of certain ones are very painful, but not really dangerous, either, and it's good to have a few geckos and spiders at home to take care of them The best thing though is all kind of birds, exotic plants, lizards, beautiful butterflies, and even gibbons (although a rare sight these days) which are incredibly lovely! I hope I'll be able to post a few pics up some time in the future

Relatively small, but so fast and intelligent... On the topic of birds, I saw a Great Hornbill in the mountains a few days ago, sadly I didn't have my camera with me. What an incredible and unique bird that is! The sound it makes is very weird too, sounds like someone's trying to rev and old bike up

Steak

Fucking hell Brake failure, takes out Hartley too.

5 second penalty for Hartley for speeding in the pit lane

Damn, beat me to it Hamilton first to pit, used ultrasofts?

Sirotkin under investigation AGAIN because there was work done on his car during the stop and go penalty
