Last Friday in Word Association. Haven't seen him since!

Railroad (or railway as we say it over here).

THE Hazzardgate TAPE

Very impressive. A lot of those locations are well-documented online, but you found a few really obscure ones too!

GAIL Flatt

The American Andretti Global team have partnered with General Motors with the aim of joining Formula 1. If their bid is successful, they will race under the Cadillac name. With all the formal processes they'll have to go through, it won't be until at least 2026. That's the same year that Audi will start using their own engines, although their takeover of the Alfa Romeo/Sauber team is already under way. Full story here.

Sheriff BUSTER Moon

Yes, but we're back to "A".

WITNESS For The Persecution

There were only 22 races in 2022, so even if the Chinese Grand Prix isn't replaced, we still get one more race this year.

Back to the obituaries. It was announced today that Anita Pointer, from the Grammy-winning Pointer Sisters, has died aged 74. Here's 'Automatic', one of their hits from 1984. It was a #1 single here in Ireland.

Yes. It was cancelled at the start of December due to ongoing Covid restrictions. This was before China's recent relaxation of its very strict Covid policies, but I doubt that it will be enough to get the race reinstated this close to the event.

Assuming that you're talking F1, I still want to see Lewis Hamilton get a record-breaking 8th world championship. Having said that, it won't be easy even with a car which finished the season much more competitive than it started, because he was beaten last year by his young team mate, George Russell. George is only 24, and looks every bit a future world champion.
