Not being minded to feather Sky's pockets, I've had to avoid all news and other spoilers until 6pm tonight. Even this thread just in case someone leaked the result! Not the most exciting of last races but the results, to me, were a reflection of the top 3 this year. Love him or hate him, Max did all he could and the split strategy of McLaren could have paid off for either of their drivers maybe.
I do prefer the team at CH4 over those at Sky anyway

Pleased that Max lost by less than the number of points that he was penalised by at Barcelona for deliberately crashing into George Russell's car. Felt sorry for Oscar, but his season faded after the summer for many different reasons.

Thanks John @Trainfish,

I've been waiting for that one all Weekend. I was then trying to think of something funny but I don't really have the words although my wife's first comment was that my legs look better than they do in real life 

Cheers, weave 

Having done my best to catch up it seems McLaren actually left the strategists from the last race at home and had their head screwed on this time.

They didn't allow Max to slow the pace and kept the pressure on Red Bull.

Ironic the one race Yuki was even in the same league was this one and tried some questionable shenanigans, but that didn't come to anything.

A good outcome all in all, and look forward to an interesting 2026.

If it would have ended in a safety car scenario Red Bull would have been smart enough to pit for soft tyres 

But it didn't and Lando did everything right today!
Congratulations to all Lando and McLaren fans

That was SO last year. At least we all made the effort this year. Not sure about those wellies though:

I had CTTE on vinyl in the 70s and it was a favourite along with "Fragile". Several years ago, I bought the 2003 remastered CD, which sounds not so good to my ears. There is a Steven Wilson remix that beefs the sound up but loses some top end detail (IMO). It is shame that many of these classic releases go through many reiterations that may not really be needed. Back in the days of vinyl, some albums did get special treatment with half speed mastering (e.g. Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab) and are now very expensive.

Anyway, CTTE is what I call a complete album.

Funnily enough, I was listening to Nick Drake's "Pink Moon" this morning which was also released in 1972.

I am sorry Martin @port perran but I was not taken by Molly Johnson's singing on this classic bit of soul.

This is what happens when you go to a beer festival in Devizes !

Sounds like you've been drinking rather than dreaming 

Quote from: Moonglum on Yesterday at 09:07:35 AMPhew, that's a lucky break, I had just left the group to go and listen to a Ben Ando talk!

@Moonglum Tim, you got away very luckily in that I have the same pic with you in it. Trouble is my AI programme doesn't understand "Add pink tutu to the 4th person from the left". It appears it just cannot count and puts it on the wrong person
