    Formula 1 was back this weekend after its summer break with the Dutch Grand Prix. Since it returned to the calendar in 2021, Red Bull's Max Verstappen has dominated his home race with pole and the win each year, but McLaren's upgrades seem to be working better than Red Bull's at the moment, and Max had to line up behind Lando Norris on the grid. Lando's team mate, Oscar Piastri started in third with George Russell the first of the Mercedes cars in fourth. Ferrari were sixth and tenth, but Lewis Hamilton failed to make the final qualifying session and also got a grid penalty for impeding another driver, so started 13th. Alex Albon had a great qualifying for Williams to initially put his car in eighth, but had to start from the back after the floor of his car was found to be illegal. Lando continued his unfortunate record of poor starts from pole and was overtaken by Max into turn 1. Max stayed ahead until Lando retook the lead on lap 18. Lando then held the lead over Max until the checkered flag to take his second win and the point for fastest lap. He ended up with a winning margin of 23 seconds - the sort of lead that Max used to get. The Ferraris seemed to have had better race pace than they showed in qualifying, finishing in third and fifth and separated by McLaren's Oscar Piastri. George Russell slipped back to finish in seventh with Lewis Hamilton catching up to eighth. McLaren are now catching Red Bull in the Constructors' Championship, but they may be regretting swapping their drivers in the last race as Lando could've been closer to Max in the Drivers' Championship. You can see the race highlights here.
  2. I'm glad y'all are trying this again, but I think I'm going to rule myself out due to the time difference and my early schedule.
  3. I think these are all the episodes with Daisy's name in the title. It was one per season except season 6 where she got three! S1E02 'Daisy's Song' S2E17 'Officer Daisy Duke' S3E17 'By-Line, Daisy Duke' S4E01 'Mrs. Daisy Hogg' S5E22 'Daisy's Shotgun Wedding' S6E08 'Targets: Daisy and Lulu' S6E13 'Heiress Daisy Duke' S6E19 'Close Call for Daisy' S7E16 'Enos and Daisy's Wedding' If you want to see Daisy in a French maid's outfit, that's in 'Gold Fever' (S2E02).

  6. I certainly don't already know the answer. It might be the weekend before I get a chance to look into it properly, but don't let me stop y'all researching it too!

  8. This is getting ridiculous, Skipper. Not content with starting your own thread so that you can keep posting inaccurate quotes on HNet which you've been asked many times to restrict to Facebook, you're now putting them in other threads. Here's what was actually said: Boss: "Of all the cotton-picking, corn-shucking, pig-slopping..." Rosco: "Bad news?" Boss: "No, it was a singing candygram. Of course, it was bad news, you dodo!"
  9. Yes, but we didn't get to visit them. There's the ruins of a Norman castle which I've read dates from 1170. It's on a private estate and I don't think it's publicly accessible. It's quite close to the river. The other is more recent with a build date of 1895, although it incorporates elements going back to medieval times. It's on a private island, but has been a hotel since the 1980s and is attached to a neighboring golf course.
  10. Today I got to go on a river cruise with a group that I'm part of. It was nearly two hours each way with a stop-over for a hotel meal in the middle. We were hoping for a brighter day, but a bit of mist and rain on the outward journey didn't dampen our spirits, and the return trip was dry with much better visibility.

    To end the speculation, Red Bull have announced that Sergio Perez will continue driving for them in the second half of the season. They will also be retaining Daniel Ricciardo and Yuki Tsunoda at second team RB.
  24. Skipper, you're meant to be keeping all the incorrect quotes on Facebook! You managed a couple that were nearly there, so I let them go, but in the one above you completely missed out Bo's line about breaking probation and added in extra words that weren't spoken. Stop posting quotes here if they're not right. You've now been asked nicely and then told by myself and several other members. Here's what was actually said: Bo: "Marijuana? Sure got ourselves in a heap of trouble this time, cousin." Luke: "You got that right. Boss is gonna throw the book at us. Not to mention the federal government." Bo: "When we break our probation, we sure do a bang-up job of it, don't we?" Luke: "We ought to be out of prison about time to collect social security." Bo: "That ain't funny, Luke. We gotta get ourselves out of this." Luke: "Yeah, well while we're figuring out how, you just keep hauling... till we find a safe place to stash this stuff." Bo: "10-4."

    I was out yesterday, so I only got home to see the end of the Belgian Grand Prix highlights. If I'd watched it live, I'd have missed the cruel twist at the end, but more of that later. Charles Leclerc retained first place off the line, but Lewis Hamilton got past Sergio Perez for second, and took the lead on lap 3. The order was shuffled a bit through the first pit stops with McLaren, Mercedes and Red Bull all looking fairly evenly matched, and Ferrari not far behind. George Russell then made the brave decision to go with a one-stop strategy when most teams were doing a two-stopper. It looked to have paid off when he had a good lead after the second round of pit stops. Lewis managed to catch him with three laps to go, but couldn't pass. At the finish it was George, Lewis and McLaren's Oscar Piastri all separated by just over a second. Unfortunately for George, sometime after the race, his car was found to be 1.5kg (3.3lb) under weight, and he was disqualified. This is extremely rare in modern F1, but probably down to simple human error somewhere down the line. That promoted Lewis to first (his 105th career victory), with Oscar second and Charles in third. Max Verstappen recovered from his grid penalty to take fourth, and Lando Norris finished fifth after losing places at the start. You can see the highlights here (minus the after-race disqualification). It's four weeks until the next race (the Dutch Grand Prix) as F1 takes its annual summer break. There's speculation about whether Sergio Perez will still be driving for Red Bull after the break. He's had a pretty bad run of form after extending his contract earlier this year. Yesterday he started second and finished seventh, while team mate Max Verstappen started 11th and finished fourth. Sergio just isn't providing the support or points that Red Bull are looking for. News just out tonight: Ferrari driver Carlos Sainz, who's leaving at the end of the year to make way for Lewis Hamilton, is joining Williams for 2025. Read more here.
