caught a replay...seems like hami can't shake that case of Webber's disease. they did a lovely montage of all the races he's dropped back at the start and some of them were very impressive.

Triple Eight is going to appeal Whincup's 15 second penalty from Bathurst, so we'll see if Will Davison's win holds up. After driving like a damn idiot and essentially knocking out two contenders late in the race, I really hope it stands. Apparently, locking up your brakes, bumping someone off track and then redressing (almost to a stop) right in front of the other guy, causing the crash is a respectable move.

Yep what happens at Bathurst stays at Bathurst but I think Whincup has got Buckleys on this one......
Buckleys (i'd better explain) is an old Aussie slang term, meaning no chance- long old story so wont go into to much details-- William Buckley (convict) William Buckley (1780 – 30 January 1856) was an English convict who was transported to Australia, escaped, was given up for dead and lived in an Aboriginal community for many years. His name lives on in Australian slang with the ironic saying “you’ve got Buckley’s chance”
Ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Buckley_(convict).
Actually there are several different theories now as to where the term came from..................

that would be all kinds of excellent.
I won't get too excited though. Still plenty of racing time left.

I know...I never really expected it to happen, so now we're in the danger zone. He's close/doing well enough that my hopes are rising, to the point where if it doesn't happen I'd be pretty bummed opposed to just 'well that's what I figured'

Hamilton wins a snoozer at COTA to cut into Nico's point lead (and Jenson finished in the points  ) and Logano wins at 'Dega to advance to the Round of 8, while Chase Elliott, Brad K, Truex and Austin Dillon are eliminated.

Good racing from Alonso at the end there. Thats the 5th race this year that Vettel has got himself involved in a first corner melee, hard to blame him this time because he was notably ahead of Hulkenberg and Bottas, but thats still far too many for someone like him. Ricciardo got screwed by the VSC there, would have been great to watch him and Rosberg fight it out for 2nd to the line.

Without any technical problems Nico will take the championship. All he has to do is finish second in all of the rest of the races.

Yawn. F1 was more exciting when Ham and Nicco were banging on each other.

Shame for Truex, but glad Brad is gone.
Now all they have to do is axe Harvick and I"ll be happy.

^Exactly. Did you see Happy go up and punch Kurt Busch while he was still in his car because Kurt rubbed his door after the race? Dude needs to calm the hell down. They're teammates and both advanced, so he should be happy, but he's just a prick.

LOL I did not! I'll have to see if I can find it online.
Sounds exactly like Harvicks MO there.

Well, that was a crazy end to the race yesterday, first Verstappen and then Vettel get a penalty to loose 3rd place with Ricciardo finally getting the last step on the podium.

He seems to be getting quite lucky, thats 2 races in a row where he could have ended up behind one or both Red Bulls and instead finished 2nd.

JJ's in the final 4 after winning at Martinsville yesterday. Ugh...
Also saw that Takuma Sato is taking over the AA #26 next year in IndyCar and that Munoz will sign with Foyt, in the 14, so essentially a driver swap.
AAAANNNNDDD.....JPM is staying with Penske for next year....for only the Indy 500. Rumors are that he's possibly going to be a part of their sportscar team.
