Well, that was an interesting Austrian Grand Prix (i.e. Red Bull's home race). The sprint race yesterday went pretty much as expected. Lando Norris took the lead from Max Verstappen for one corner, and as Max retook the lead, Lando's team mate Oscar Piastri got past him too. They finished in that order.

Max also took pole for the main race, but a different tire strategy and a slow final pit stop meant that Lando was able to catch him. We then had wheel to wheel action for about a dozen laps before the two of them had a coming together with seven laps to go. Both got punctures, and Lando had to retire from the race. That left the door open for Mercedes' George Russell to take his second F1 win. Behind him, Oscar passed Ferrari's Carlos Sainz for second. Max was given a 10 second penalty for causing the crash, and eventually finished fifth behind Lewis Hamilton.

The race highlights are here.

Next week is the British Grand Prix, which is shown live on free-to-air TV over here. It should be a good race with the field closing up.

Very well synchronized to the words. I'd forgotten a couple of those scenes!

No, I don't speak Russian. But I do watch the OLYMPICS.

Kensington Palace is a royal residence in London now owned by the King. Although it's the official address of several members of the British royal family, I don't think any of them currently live there.

It's alleged that he never had a romantic relationship and died a virgin, so I guess that was his comeuppance for inflicting calculus upon us. On the plus side, he did design that cool Pink Floyd album cover.

One of the satellite channels over here is showing M*A*S*H all day today, but tomorrow they're having a day of Murder She Wrote. It doesn't look like 'Coal Miner's Slaughter' is among the episodes they're showing, but I may watch a couple if it continues to rain. Most of our stores don't reopen until Tuesday.

It was the Spanish Grand Prix today, and Formula 1 is finally getting closer again. The three practice sessions were topped by three different drivers from three different teams, and none were Max Verstappen or Red Bull. McLaren's Lando Norris pulled out a near perfect lap to claim pole in qualifying.

Mercedes' George Russell got a great start from third, and was in the lead after the first corner. It didn't take long for Max Verstappen to overtake him, and Max went on to win again, but there was plenty of close racing and overtaking behind. Pole-sitter Lando Norris was closing on Max in the final laps, but had to settle for second at the checkered flag. Lewis Hamilton got past his team mate, George Russell, to claim third place and his first podium of the year.

There were discredited rumors online this week that Mercedes were sabotaging Lewis' car because he's leaving for Ferrari at the end of the season. I guess that this result proves that the rumors were untrue.

You can see the 8-minute highlights here.

Next weekend is Red Bull's home race in Austria.

Augie Detweiller was putting stolen racing engines in old JALOPIES.

All right! FREEZE it right there!
Is it expensive getting hay out of jail?

From the 'Repo Men' quote that Skipper posted:

"There was old Cooter, sticking out like a BOURBON BOTTLE at a country revival."

You mixed up the opening lines and missed a couple out there, Skipper. The scene is after the Dukes go past Rosco's road block while towing the Richard Petty race car. Cooter is in the race car. This is how it should begin:
Bo: "Hang loose."
Luke: "If I was any looser, I'd be sliding off the seat."
Balladeer: "There was old Cooter, sticking out like a bourbon bottle at a country revival."
Luke: "Watch out for the mailbox."
Bo: "What mailbox?"
Balladeer: "Meanwhile, old Rosco wasn't doing too hot..."

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!
