It was probably something casual like Lewis mentioning to Toto that Daytona seems like a fun race and Toto reminded him that Mercedes doesn't participate in NASCAR so he wouldn't be able to race even if he wanted to.

With Bottas on Pole, It's pretty clear that F1 today is much more about the car than the driver. I wish we could put Lance in the Mercedes to prove this theory.

Stroll would struggle to put a Mercedes into Q3.

I had an ex-boyfriend who wasted tens of thousands on eBay and dodgy dealer shitboxes with 130k+ miles on the clock, and would insist that it was how well the car was looked after not the mileage*, and say I was but a silly woman who knew nothing when I said he was a loving idiot to buy anything off eBay or that dodgy place down the road with more than 30k on the clock with no warrenties, and that I was one to talk as my glorious and outstanding classic ford had well over 130k on the clock so I was a hypocrite. Then the shitboxes would go bang within 4 miles of him picking it up. (No joke, four cars never made it home in less than a month).

*this is true, but you also have to know stuff like what a big end is and not be a gullible twat.

I had a friend whose husband also bought tons of crappy cars from eBay to fix up and sell. He ended up going insane and tried to commit suicide by cop.

I actually think the FD suffers from the same problem the Supra does and if anything it's more pronounced. It's a phenomenal car but I think it's too over the top styling wise.

Big Giovinazzi managed to be second fastest in testing today in the Ferrari, .696 seconds behind Hamilton. Hopefully this means he didn't lose all confidence when he pulled that moron move in China.
