    HossC got a reaction from Skipper Duke in NASCAR news   
    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!"

    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.

    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.

    We had a rare sunny day coinciding with a weekend yesterday, so I took a trip to the beach with some friends. I even seem to have learned how to apply enough sunscreen not to come home burnt! On our travels we went through a place called Ballygarrett (Baile Ghearóid in Irish, meaning 'town of Garrett').

    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.
