Pablo Bluth: Sep 7, 2007; I've made a huge mistake.

Silverstone circuit is like driving into an asteroid field at night. With the bright sunlight illuminating the surface and an atmosphere of nitrogen and oxygen, you'd think it would be an absolute delight to drive there. And in many ways it is. It's a place of grandeur, an automotive wonderland of gleaming road surfaces, gleaming high-rises, a world of white glass and chrome and steel and glass, a world of supercar perfection, of the very, very best.

But underneath, it's very, very dark.

The only thing shining through the gloom is an occasional, tiny, blinking neon light that illuminates the road ahead.

And that's a problem.

Because for a circuit like the Silverstone circuit, a circuit where drivers drive high-powered supercars at speeds reaching more than 240mph, and which is located just outside of London, the lights, and especially the neon, are a huge deal.

He's the only person in this world that is more of a idiot than me and that's pretty much the worst I could say about him. His column has a long list of stupid things he's written over the years (like why the race to build a bigger F1 engine was overrated), and I decided to compile a list of his dumb opinions.

I think you all can guess how well his list goes over.

1) He's a big fan of McLaren

Joe is a big fan of F1 and loves every single car that can be bought in the F1 paddock. The fact that McLaren are so close to winning championships is really just a bonus for the guy.

2) He's a big fan of the current car

David Croft is a bloviating shitheel who regularly shouts incoherently over Formula One broadcasts like a deranged moron. In the middle of the race on Sunday night, however, he did something that no one has ever done on live TV.

The Frenchman is apparently on-site for all of the Belgian Grand Prix, so we might as well get used to watching this bloke talking like a retard. Here are some highlights of his monologue over the race's final laps.

"I'm in Belgium with my wife and I'm not really in the mood to watch this crap."

"What's the point of having a race if it's just a bunch of people sitting in a room doing nothing? This is a bit like having a party without any of the alcohol."

"I thought I could get used to the racing, because you know, I'm a bloke.

Sebastian Vettel used Lewis Hamilton's toilet in an attempt to distract the Mercedes driver ahead of the Monaco Grand Prix on Sunday.

Vettel was lapping on track at the time, so it's not clear who the distraction was intended for.

However, the world champion was spotted using Hamilton's toilet in a video taken by one of the cameras mounted on the Mercedes pit wall.

Hamilton said: "What he has done is really disrespectful. It's not only that he has done it without my permission, which is completely disrespectful, but he has put my wife, my daughter in danger.

"He put his child's life in danger and I think it's a very, very serious incident. It's something that we will have to speak to our lawyers about and make sure that it is properly dealt with."

"I don't know if it was intentional but it was clearly disrespectful to me and my family. There's no reason to do that"

Nico Rosberg is bitter about Lewis Hamilton because he has been robbed of the lead in the title race and blames the team for a lack of competitiveness this year

Nico Rosberg has labelled Lewis Hamilton as 'the most arrogant, stupid, disrespectful person on the planet' after the Mercedes driver claimed he could not race a Ferrari this year.

Hamilton has led the F1 title by 22 points, one ahead of Rosberg, who has been a consistent second for Mercedes.

But Rosberg accused his team of a lack of competitiveness and said he wanted to finish ahead of the Briton.

"He [Hamilton] is the most arrogant, stupid, disrespectful person on the planet," Rosberg said of the Mercedes driver.

"We have to fight against him. It is a big responsibility to fight against someone like that. But we will fight against him.

"Lewis has an advantage. In terms of the speed in a straight line, he is the fastest man

"Get in there Lewis!" Hamilton's race engineer Pete Bonnington shouted over the team radio. "You've got three laps to go!" The four drivers raced out of the pits and began taking the chequered flag, with Hamilton leading Vettel by 1.2 seconds. Vettel was not happy. He was in second place. He was a second and a half back. He had not had a proper race since the British Grand Prix. In those two weeks, Hamilton had won five races in six races and he was third in the championship.

Vettel was furious. He did not enjoy being the underdog in every race. So he drove a little more defensively in the last three laps. He had been racing against three times his age and a world champion. It seemed to annoy Hamilton that he had done all that to come second, when he was so obviously the better driver.

Cast iron is superior to KFC because it's healthier for you, and better for the environment, which is the same reason that you should get a KFC.

KFC is not a healthy choice for any of those reasons, and it's not good for your health and the environment, so it's not a good choice.

So, now, you know, KFC isn't a healthy option. And in fact, it's probably the single biggest contributor to the global obesity crisis that we're currently facing. It's not healthy and it's not good for the environment.

And so, if you're in the US, you don't have to eat KFC, and you can do whatever you like, as long as you're eating a healthy, high quality diet. And that's what's really important.

I went to Macau in the year 2000. I took a hydrofoil from Hong Kong and spent the day eating a spit roasted pig (not ur or my mom). Little did I know at the time that such a tiny island would become a focal point for the global gambling industry and host one of the world's great racing events. And its amazing now to think that I was at the place that inspired possibly the worst collection of posts in the history of the internet.

Max Verstappen and Esteban Gutierrez have been involved in a crash at the first corner on the final lap of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, sending the Sauber back onto the track.

Gutierrez is seen in the car following Verstappen, who looks as though he has seen a gap in the field. The pair are then hit by a kink in the track, and are then sent back up onto the track by another kink as Verstappen takes another right.

The pair are then hit by another kink, with both Gutierrez and Verstappen unable to pull away.

Both drivers exit the circuit and are assessed by race control.

The stewards also assess the incident:

"As a result of contact between Esteban Gutierrez and Verstappen during the race on lap 40 (2.2), Verstappen has been reported for failing to stop and for driving in an aggressive
