Happy Canada Day
Garrett Duke reacted to RogerDuke for a topic
I remember when I was a kid and once in awhile finding a Canadian 1967 penny in my change. Did their other coins commemorate the 100th anniversary? I can't remember them.1 point -

Garrett gets worried when his car sputters and swears under his breath before he feels the power return to full throttle. Still worried about what that may have been, he tries to push it out of mind as he looks back and is disappointed to see his lead length shorten due to the sputter. Shaking his head, he does the only thing he can do. Look ahead and shove the gas pedal to the floor and a hint of a smile crosses his face to feel the strong power of Spittin' Cobra back full force.1 point -

I'm not sure that the 8-minute highlights will do justice to today's British Grand Prix. There had been rain before the race leaving most of the track wet. Franco Colapinto was due to start from the pits after crashing yesterday, but in the end he didn't make it, leaving 19 cars on the grid. They all started the formation lap on the intermediate tires, but several cars peeled into the pits before the start to gamble of slick tires. Max Verstappen kept the lead at the start, but it was soon clear that Red Bull's low downforce setup wasn't going to work so well in the wet conditions. Behind them, Liam Lawson got hit by Esteban Ocon on the first lap and Gabriel Bortoleto spun off on slick tires on lap 4. Oscar Piastri took the lead on lap 8. A couple of laps later, the rain began to fall. All the leaders pitted for new intermediate tires, and although Lando Norris had just passed Max on the track, a slow pit stop for Lando saw the positions swap back. The rain then got worse, bringing out the first full safety car. Another safety car came out when Isack Hadjar hit the back of Kimi Antonelli's car. If you watch the video below, you'll see that the visibility was close to zero. Kimi had to retire his car a few laps later. At the end of the second safety car we had the most controversial call of the race. Leading the pack and controlling their speed, Oscar accelerated and then braked trying to warm his tires. Max thought he was starting to push and briefly passed him, which is not allowed behind the safety car. Oscar was deemed to have driven erratically and given a 10-second penalty, which the commentators and his team thought was harsh. At the next corner, Max spun his car and slipped to 9th and then 10th. With about 8 laps to go and the track drying, the drivers finally switched to slick tires. Lewis Hamilton had been getting faster as the circuit dried, but in the end he could only make it back to fourth place. Lando became the 13th British winner of the British Grand Prix ahead of team mate Oscar. The result of the day and driver of the day was Kick Sauber's Nico Hulkenberg in third. He started 19th and last on the grid and claimed his first podium finish in 239 race starts. After his spin. Max eventually climbed back to finish fifth. Lando is now only 8 points behind Oscar in the drivers' championship, while McLaren look to have an unassailable lead in the constructors' championship with another 43 points today. Ferrari, Red Bull and Mercedes each only had one scoring driver with 12, 10 and 1 points respectively. You can see the highlights here. It's now three weeks until the Belgian Grand Prix at Spa.1 point

Oh Roger, that’s not good news at all. Shoot, anything they can do for it? Also thanks for the belated wishes And I didn’t know about that actually, been meaning to look into the animated series more. I know a box set was released by Warner Bros at one time, of the cartoon series. Not sure if it’s still in print or not.1 point
