I've religiously watch all series so far and love it. Last weeks was difficult imo which it why I think we didn't see many good shots but hey, I guess it's supposed to be difficult. When I first started watching it I didn't like Oliviero Toscani, I found him arrogant and rude to the students...

He's done it, maybe not what he intended from the weekend but 'they all count' as they say. So...He's not signed a contract extension beyond 2018 yet although it's believed he is to extend at Mercedes. Is this a wise move, to extend with Mercedes? I guess that all depends on what Lewis wants...

Ocon has proved himself to be a competitive driver, and he is on the Mercedes-Benz Driver Development Programme so a 'shoe in' in the future sometime

So, if Lewis wraps up his season on Sunday do the team do something to help Valteri catch up to and overtake Seb for the remaining races finishing their season with a 1 - 2?

I was caught by a camera just over a year ago, 98 on a motorway. No speed awareness course for that bad boy, 3 points on my licence and insurance premiums have gone up on both my insurance and it was more expensive to insure me as a named driver on my son's first car than it was my...

I thought it was a good race from start to finish, I even managed to watch it without fast forwarding any of the action too. Lewis had mega pace all weekend and there was not a lot Ferrari could do. Maybe Max, without his grid penalty could have undercut him? Barring any failures Lewis should...

All your condolences and all the sound bite from politicians won't change a thing! Benefit concerts, won't bring back the innocent victims! It is time to change! not us! The Muslim world needs to change. Every Muslim country now needs to make a forceful stand against these warmongers. If they...

Well that was a dire race by any standards street circuit or not! I do hope it's not a sign of things to come.

I do worry about the recent attitude towards diesel vehicles. I bought my 2011 Focus 1.6 ecotech diesel estate back in 2012 as an ex Ford employees car with 7k on the clock. I've now done 90k on it and it still drive like a new car and I only have to pay £20 a year road tax. I'm getting a good...

So; I liked the old Top Gear with the 'three cocks' I liked the new Top Gear with Chris Evans. I liked Chris Harris's and Rory Reid's enthusiasm in the articles they did. For Christmas we let the children subscribe to Amazon. So, I tried Grand Tour, honestly, I didn't think Grand Tour was a...

The composition of that last one is outstanding!

I think you would find it surprising, how much weight Mercedes have with regards to hiring Bottas. I would not surprise me to see him partnered with Hamilton next year. That said Mercedes could do worse than looking at someone like Button, especially with a new car. Williams have more than just...

Christmas won't be starting in our house for about another week. Our eldest has a birthday on the 9th and although he is 17 this year we have always avoided putting trees and decorations up and getting all Christmassy until after that. I've also go a bathroom to fit, tile and decorate before...

FWIW, Mercedes won't take any action at all over Lewis's actions. He is a racing driver trying to win a 4th world championship. What else do they expect? Lewis was in the lead and controlling the pace as is his right. He did nothing dangerous. I do think he played the last race wrong though. He...

I'm in a very similar position to you, just with an older car. I bought my 2011 focus TDCI EcoTech 1.6 in 2012 with 7,000 miles on it. It's just clocked over 90,000 miles. I get it serviced once a year and the only things I've had to do is to replace the battery this year and have a overflow...
