Randi Brooks touches on Dukes and her relationship with Tom in this interview (starting at about 5:40):

Didn't you see Tyler Reddick's #45 car? Looking again, the purple #23 of Bubba Wallace with Grimace on the side is pretty cool too.

Me too, but is Hamburglar still current in the US? I remember him from UK TV adverts in the '80s and '90s, but I don't think that I've seen him for over 20 years. Admittedly, I don't go to McDonalds very often these days. Maybe his criminal past caught up with him and he's been doing time in jail.

The team radios are open to the broadcaster in F1, but there is a short delay before selected exchanges are played to the public, which gives them time to bleep out bad language. The same is happening in others sports too. Rugby referees have had microphones for a while and I think soccer referees might have them too. Back in 2013, they decided to give microphones to the coxes of the annual Oxford/Cambridge boat race in London. One of them spent the whole race using swear words to encourage their crew. I think the lesson was learned there!

Rosco was always putting the Dukes UNDER arrest. Between people not putting their word in capitals and people just making comments, it can be very hard to follow this thread sometimes.

The Canadian Grand Prix started in very wet conditions, but only the two Haas cars started on full wet tires, with everyone else on the intermediates. Initially, it seemed like the right choice for Haas, but the track started to dry, and the advantage was gone. There were a couple of safety cars due to crashes (something we don't get very often these days), and through it all Max Verstappen managed to claim another win. His team mate, Sergio Perez (who's just signed with Red Bull for another two years), was one of those who didn't make the finish, along with both Ferraris. Behind Max were three British drivers, Lando Norris in the first McLaren and then George Russell and Lewis Hamilton in their Mercedes. Oscar Piastri was fifth in the second McLaren. You can see the race highlights here. It was obviously a bad weekend for Ferrari, but McLaren and Mercedes seem to be closing the gap to Red Bull. We have a two-week break now before three races in a row back in Europe at the Spanish, Austrian and British Grand Prix.

After a couple of rain-affected practice sessions, we've got an interesting grid for today's Canadian Grand Prix. Qualifying was dry, but the track was still "green" after the rain, so grip gradually increased as it rubbered in. For the second race in a row, Red Bull's Sergio Perez went out in the first session and will start in 16th place. Maybe the biggest shock was both Ferraris going out in the second session - they'll start 11th and 12th. At the start of the final session it was the Mercedes drivers George Russell and Lewis Hamilton setting the pace. Neither improved on their second runs, but other drivers did. Red Bull's Max Verstappen's second run achieved exactly the same time as George Russell - 1:12.000 - only the second time in F1 history that the same time has been set for pole. By the rules, the driver who set the time first starts ahead, so George Russell gets pole for the second time in his F1 career. Lewis Hamilton was less than three tenths behind, but starts seventh.

I never knew Parnelli Jones' racing career, but I remember him playing himself in the original 'Gone in 60 Seconds'. One of the cars they had to steal was Parnelli Jones' Big Oly Bronco.

If you have to quote whole scenes, put them in the favorite scenes thread, but ask yourself if people want to read a whole scene. Also, you have a habit of leaving bits out without saying you've omitted anything, so it might be better to stick to the short, snappy quotes as it takes me less time to check/correct them!

Due to satellite bookings and worldwide TV schedules, F1 races now have a time frame in which they must be completed, so there are no indefinite delays or carry overs until Monday. Also, the teams are often already packing up their gear while the Champagne is flowing because they have to fly halfway around the world for the next race.
