Here's hoping the next surgery involves a hair cut.....I miss bald Dario
Could have been a lot worse, but these type of injuries are likely when a car goes into the catch fencing (Mike Conway for example)
I really hope that sooner rather than latter, motorsport will find the next advancement in catch fencing as to what the SAFER barrier did for concrete walls.
Just watched "The Loneliest Robot In Great Britain" in the cinema's, 10 min short which had me laughing far too much. Brilliant little gem.
New Manics album came a few days early...which is, you know, nice.

I don't think Dixon did anything different in terms of driving out of his pit box then any other driver did that weekend, I do however think the pit crew member was not fully aware of his surroundings (he kind of sauntered back and what's the deal with holding the tyre like that, in a dangerous environment such as the pitlane why make yourself a bigger target). It's a difficult call and one I did not fuly agree with at the time but I can see where they are coming from.
My main issue is why the hell did they not repaint the pit boxes?

Never under any circumstance try to understand woman. The only people who understand woman are other woman and they hate each others guts.
Official website launched, complete with standard Rockstar humor which I do love so much.
For instance the name of the financial market.

Sounds like a normal trip to Wales to me.....
Well it appears that Red Bull have already got the "Make Kimi go Faster" mod onto the car.
Can't see Alonso going to RBR to be honest, Vettel will throw a wobbly and the musketeer Alonso will remain in red.
In fact the cynic in me is suggesting that Red Bull will use the threat of Alonso being a potential teammate to Vettel in an attempt to 'lube up' Kimi into the second seat.

I think I just messed myself watching that, god knows what the drivers behind was thinking.
Got it on the last day and played it as soon after work just because I was curious, 5 hours later it was midnight and I still hadn't eaten.
New rule...eat first then check things on laptop.
This weekend....Steam has won despite best attempts to resist.
Got the Walking Dead (+ the DLC 400 Days), The Ship, Just Cause 2, Thomas Was Alone, FTL and hopefully Gunpoint appears on the Flash Sales.
I hate these sales I really do.

To be fair, to predict anything in F1 you go for the most cynical option and then take it back a step.
N I K I.....you haven't taken it back a step, go back to the drawing board and think again.

If I was to use a Black & Decker power saw and power sander, in a race to see which would move down a plank of wood the fastest, only for the power sander to veer wildly of the plank of wood and remove about half the skin on my shin.....then it's not Black & Decker's fault. At no point is that a recomended useage for power tools.
So it stands to reason that if the teams are using the tyres outside the recommended parameters knowingly, then they can not blame the tyre manufacture if and when there are failures. Much like running an engine at a higher rev limit than normal there is a risk/reward calculation to be undertaken and with the lack of any proper testing done on these tyres on this seasons car then the risk was going to be higher than normal than say when they used Bridgestone and Michelin tyres when mid season testing was available.
Pirelli should just go out on the full attack and lay the blame at the teams and the FIA for this. The FIA wanted degradable tyres because of a freak race back in Canada which we all enjoyed and the teams rejected a compound change after 'Tyregate' which by all accounts was to be more durable than this compound and would have likely prevent these blowouts.
It's little wonder that a lot of pressure is being put upon Pirelli when the contract is up this season, the cynic in me is wanting to say that the FIA have allowed this to get so bad so they can negotiate a cheaper contract with Pirelli or another supplier but then that would be ridiculous..........
....wouldn't it?

Ah right, thought it would have been RHD drive since it's a British car.
The Aston is a RHD car isn't it? The side impact was heavy and there's no/ little give in that barrier.
