  1. Verstappen has always been known as what is called a hard racer (nothing wrong with that) and Horner loves him for it judging by Horners fist pumps in the garage when all goes well (as do fans) Hamilton is known as being a hard but fair driver and has in my opinion braked and given Max room in the past but it all came to a head on Sunday as many expected would happen sooner than later.

    If you take stock of what ex drivers and a couple of team owners have said then it was no more than a racing incident. Somebody earlier mentioned the time not fitting the crime but each team signed up to rules and indeed had an imput of what punishment can be applied.

    Well what’s are thoughts on the qualifying Sprint race …???

    Mixed feelings at the moment tbh, as said above, great for those with the weekend passes as it provides extra entertainment which is part of the business plan but other than the extra race on the Saturday I see no other benefits. I imagine the head off Red Bull would not be happy if the guys had had to rebuild Perez`s car overnight.

    Looking good. Just one thing...have you done a Gibbs from NCIS? How you going to get it out of the conservatory?

    We learnt this week that Gibbs has an old coal scuttle, personally I`m not convinced that is the way he got the boats out.

    May I ask peoples opinions on the usage of warm air heating overnight?

    I won't name the boatyards, but during our first out of season trip on another boat during the handover we were told it's fine to leave the diesel warm air heating on overnight no problem at all.

    Another year at a different boatyard we were told the electric warm air heating should only be used for brief periods, and not left on overnight. 

     

    What are the pros and cons to leaving the warm air heating on overnight?

    You mention two different systems (?).

    ah yes, the people raking in the money for the huge viewing figures, I suppse they care, but football and other sport , well thats something that would cause me to turn and walk the other way.

    Not quite, viewing figures are from general public tuning in to watch. I  feel the same as you about other ball based sports.
