Another quick F1 update - the US-based Haas F1 team has announced Toyota as a "technical partner" and that the two companies would "share expertise and knowledge, as well as resources". However, Toyota will not be supplying engines as Haas already has a contract with Ferrari until 2028. Toyota have not been part of F1 since they withdrew their own team at the end of 2009, and feel that they have been losing opportunities to Japanese rivals Honda. Toyota branding will appear on the Haas cars starting at this weekend's US Grand Prix in Austin.

It seemed like an unconventional first couple of posts, but I let it go as they seemed vaguely plausible and there was no immediate linking to sites selling pills etc. like I see from time to time. The moderation of the first few posts may be a slight inconvenience to new users, but it does a great job of protecting Hazzardites from scams and spam.

Boss' 'shine running car was a CHEVROLET CAMARO

Dance I'm guessing that you're referring to Dick Van Dyke's song from 'Mary Poppins' (with the hilarious Cockney accent) rather than 'Feel It' by The Tamperer featuring Maya.

One of the YouTube channels I follow is Hoovies Garage. Most of his videos show him buying cheap cars and then showing how much it costs to get them fixed. His latest purchase is a 1959 Plymouth Fury. It was originally baby blue, but a previous owner has painted it red. He quickly acknowledges that it's a year later than the movie Christine, but that doesn't stop numerous references to the movie/book. In the second video he takes the car to his mechanic, the Car Wizard, to see what needs to be fixed. Wizard is obviously also a fan of the movie as re-enacts a couple of scenes during the visit.

Just a quick update - it was confirmed on Thursday that Liam Lawson will replace Daniel Ricciardo at RB for the final six races of the season.

If I'm watching a full episode, I don't always pay full attention. I tend to notice mistakes/bloopers when I'm getting screengrabs. This is partly because I'm paying much closer attention, and partly because I'm looking at a laptop screen next to me rather than a TV screen across the room.

RUBEN Scuggs His cow dried up for no reason at all in 'Cale Yarborough Comes to Hazzard'.

The scene isn't in the clip you posted, so I had a look at the whole episode (it's about 20 minutes in if anyone else wants to check it out). Due to the action, I'd guess that she's a stunt performer rather than an actress. There aren't many stuntwomen listed for Dukes on IMBb, but the best match I can see is Hannah Kozak. She's only credited for 'Cale Yarborough Comes to Hazzard' in season 7, but she could've been in earlier episodes. Another possibility is Christine [Anne] Baur. She's also a stuntwoman, although she isn't credited for any Dukes episodes. You can see her in the DVD extra, 'Hazzard County Stunt Team - Reunited and in Your Face'.

It was the Singapore Grand Prix this week which is both a street race and a night race held under floodlights. It's also very hot for the drivers. Lando Norris continued his run of good form by claiming pole position in his McLaren. Traditionally, this hasn't been a good track for Red Bull, and they struggled through the practice sessions, but Max Verstappen scored a great second place on the grid. His Red Bull team mate Sergio Perez only managed 13th. The Mercedes of Lewis Hamilton and George Russell were third and fourth with the second McLaren of Oscar Piastri in fifth. Ferrari driver Carlos Sainz crashed in the final qualifying session and started in tenth, one place behind the other Ferrari of Charles Leclerc. Lando finally managed to get a good enough start to retain his lead through the first lap. Lewis started on soft tires, and nearly overtook Max at the first corner, but then had to follow in third. Lando then proceeded to dominate the race, pulling a lead of almost 30 seconds at times despite touching the walls at least twice. He still led by a large margin when he took the checkered flag to win. With only a few laps to go, Lando looked like he'd get the full house of pole, leading every lap, fastest lap and the win, but Daniel Ricciardo in Red Bull's junior team RB made a late stop for soft tires and got the fastest lap. Although he doesn't get the point for fastest lap because he finished outside the top ten, it took the point away from Lando. Lewis' gamble to start on the soft tires didn't pay off as for the first time in 15 races in Singapore there was no safety car (I think it's about the eighth race in a row without a physical safety car, although the last race finished under a virtual one), and he eventually finished sixth. Max did a great job in damage limitation by staying in second until the end. He was followed home by Oscar, George and Charles, of which the latter two had a great fight through the final laps. Carlos' in seventh was the last driver not to be lapped. Daniel's fastest lap may be particularly poignant as it could be his last F1 race, at least for this season. There are strong rumors that New Zealand driver Liam Lawson will replace him at RB for the final six races this year. Despite being the last running driver in 18th place, he was voted Driver of the Day by fans. You can see the 8-minute race highlights here. Lando has closed the gap to Max to 52 points in the Drivers' Championship, but McLaren have increased their lead over Red Bull to 41 points in the Constructors' Championship. We've now got three weeks off before the United States Grand Prix from Austin.
