F1 team McLaren is giving US IndyCar driver Colton Herta a test drive this week in Portugal. While British McLaren driver Lando Norris has a contract until 2025, his team mate, Australian Daniel Ricciardo, only has a contract until 2023, which is when Colton Herta's Andretti Autosport contract expires.

Today's Austrian Grand Prix had a good amount of close racing and overtaking. Red Bull's Max Verstappen started on pole after winning yesterday's sprint race (the second of three this year). He also led the first few laps, but Ferrari's Charles Leclerc had better race pace with a car that seemed to be easier on its tires, and he soon overtook Max. With different tire strategies, it would be the first of three times that Charles had to overtake Max. Mercedes' George Russell collided with Red Bull's Sergio Perez on the opening lap, which led to a 5-second penalty for George and ultimately retirement for Sergio. Ferrari looked like scoring a 1-2 finish until Carlos Sainz's engine blew as he was trying to overtake Max. His car then caught fire as he was trying to park it safely off the track, which resulted in a virtual safety car.

In the end, Charles Leclerc won his first race since the Australian Grand Prix in April, and also his first from a position other than pole. Max Verstappen limited the damage by finishing second and getting a point for fastest lap. Mercedes picked up good points with Lewis Hamilton finishing third and George Russell fourth. It was a particularly good result as both drivers had crashed in qualifying and had to have their cars rebuilt over night. Despite Mercedes' relative lack of pace, this was Lewis' third podium in a row. After scoring his first F1 points at Silverstone last week, Haas' Mick Schumacher picked up more points by finishing sixth. Several drivers received 5-second penalties for exceeding track limits - more than any other race I remember.

You can see the race highlights here.

We now have a 2-week break before the French Grand Prix.

Sometimes you have to remind people that things have changed so that they don't have unrealistic expectations. I was just watching a 30-year-old sitcom where they visited two railroad stations, and both had manned ticket offices. You tell that to kids of today and they won't believe you!

I didn't watch it all the way through, but it definitely includes Jimmie with a mustache.

Today was the British Grand Prix from Silverstone. It's one of a number of British sporting events that get shown live on free-to-air TV (others include the football World Cup, the Grand National horse race and the Olympics). This week there are several sports focused in this part of the world, as the Grand Prix coincides with tennis at Wimbledon, golf at the Irish Open (not far from me), and cycling in the Tour de France just across The Channel.
Yesterday's qualifying was wet, so there were a few people out of position on the grid, but the threat of rain never came to anything today. Ferrari's Carlos Sainz started on pole for the first time (this was his 150th F1 race), but got passed by Max Verstappen off the line. Lewis Hamilton also made up two places off the start, but then there was a bad crash behind them at the first corner which red flagged the race. Alfa Romeo's Zhou Guanyu got turned upside down and his car flipped over the tire barrier. Luckily, he was fine, but the race was delayed by about 45 minutes. Because the crash happened so close to the start, the grid reformed in its original order (minus the three cars that were involved in the crash).
The second time around, Sainz held the lead, Hamilton lost a place and Ferrari's Charles Leclerc damaged his front wing. Verstappen then picked up some underside damage from debris and pitted because he thought he had a puncture. Leclerc quickly caught his team mate, despite his damage, but Ferrari wouldn't order the drivers to swap position. Hamilton made his pit stop much later than the Ferraris, and looked to be in with a good chance of a win until Estaban Ocon's car broke down bringing out a safety car. With Leclerc in the lead, Sainz and Hamilton took the opportunity to fit the faster soft tires. Also back in the mix was Red Bull's Sergio Perez, who passed Hamilton at the restart. Sainz passed his team mate, while Leclerc, Hamilton and Perez fought over the other two podium positions. There was a lot of passing and repassing in the final laps, but in the end Sainz got his first Grand Prix win, with Perez second and Hamilton third in a much more competitive Mercedes. Verstappen had a great battle with Mick Schumacher in the final laps to claim seventh place. Schumacher picked up his first F1 points in eighth.
You can see the highlights here.
We're off to Austria next week for what counts as Red Bull's home race.

It's the first paragraph of the Wikipedia article that I linked to. Someone on Facebook probably copied it from there. Try to research your own facts rather than just blindly copying someone else's work without acknowledgement. 

You've just cut & pasted this from Wikipedia. Either write original content or cite your sources!

I've just realized that I didn't post anything about the Canadian Grand Prix last week. It was on late evening my time, so I planned to post last Monday and then forgot!

Championship leader Max Verstappen (Red Bull) started on pole, while his main rival, Ferrari's Charles Leclerc started one place off the back after engine change penalties. Mercedes driver George Russell started in 8th after trying to qualify on slick tires in a wet qualifying session.

Max Verstappen ended up extending his lead by winning the race, but his team mate, Sergio Perez, had to retire. Ferrari's Carlos Sainz Jr came second with the two Mercedes of Lewis Hamilton and George Russell in third and fourth. It was damage limitation for Charles Leclerc, fighting his way up to fifth. Race highlights can be seen here.

We're back in Europe next week with the British Grand Prix at Silverstone.

Yes, please post the pictures, Robert.

I know this one is a little obscure, but here's a look-alike I spotted in 'Heiress Daisy Duke'. On the left is Nancy Hinman as Vonnie. On the right is singer, songwriter, and record producer Amanda Warner (aka. MNDR), as she looked when she featured on Mark Ronson's 2010 hit 'Bang Bang Bang'.

This exchange happens on the first test drive of their new car:
Luke: We jumped a dang creek.
Bo: Yeah. General Lee always was a cavalry man.
Luke: We built more into this car than just plugs and pistons, I guess.
Bo: Fighting spirit of the South. Come on, we got a race to run.

Regular visitors may have noticed that I haven't posted much artwork here lately. Hopefully this should explain why.
The artwork below started out as a re-creation of the Hazzard Theater sign for the Signs of Hazzard thread, but grew into a monster project encompassing a whole block of Hazzard Square. After completing the theater sign I added some background and got carried away. I've tried to be as accurate as possible, with some details only clearly visble in a single episode. I also had to allow for the fact that some of the details change constantly, so what you see here may not exist together exactly like this in any single episode. I originally wanted to put more detail into varying the brickwork, but 'Seth M Berley's', for example, has somewhere in the region of 5000 bricks, so I settled for uniformity instead. For clarity (and to make my life easier) I have not attempted any interiors. I know that some episodes show gold lettering on the upper windows of some buildings, but I couldn't get any screengrabs where this text was readable. I can add them if anyone knows what they say.

Here they are at a larger size:



I do plan to do more of these, but may do something else in-between just for variety.

This is a forum, not Facebook. You've spent the last two weeks moaning about Facebook, yet you seem surprised that information received through it is wrong. I'd put Facebook right near the bottom of the pile when it comes to reliable online sources. That's why I regard HazzardNet so highly - there's room for debate and corrections, but the latter are rarely needed because members take time to research their posts if they're posting something factual (and credit sources). I'd rather you posted one accurate, funny quote a week than three dodgy ones every day. The point of favorite quotes is that they're memorable lines that stand out for some reason or other. They're not about cutting and pasting from elsewhere internet. You messaged me recently about my artwork appearing on Facebook (something that I have had to accept happens), but you're basically doing the same thing by reposting here.

The reference sections of HazzardNet (of which this thread is a part) are about quality, not quantity. Also, it took you three posts (above) just to reply to one of mine, wasting space with nonsense. Get your ideas together and check your sources before posting. I'm not expecting every quote to be word perfect, but it shouldn't be my job to correct your posts just because you were too lazy to verify them. That's not part of a moderator's duties, but I'm trying to maintain the high standards that have kept HazzardNet online for so long.

Skipper, I don't know where you got the first lines from, because the scene goes like this:
Jesse: "You boys knew when you got your probation that you were supposed to report to your Hazzard County Probation Officer every once in a while. Now, now isn't that true?"
Bo: "Yes sir, we did."
Jesse: "Well, then why didn't you?"
Bo: "Because they never told us who the dang guy was."
Jesse: "Watch your language."
Bo: "Yes, sir."
Daisy: "Well, I guess you know who it is now."
Luke: "Yeah, when it comes to nailing us, Boss is getting to be a master at splitting hair."
Maybe you've mixed in lines from this scene in 'Days of Shine and Roses' when they're deciding the rules of the race:
Cooter: "All right, y'all. There's one more thing, that's the cargo. It'll be the usual 10 gallons of shine..."
Jesse: "Now just a minute. The Dukes don't run no real shine. We made a deal with the US of A Federal Government and we don't renege. Besides, I don't want to jeopardize these boys' probation. So we carry water. Ten jugs of water. Is that agreed?"
I've said several times on the Smokey and the Bandit thread, either make your quotes accurate or make it clear that you're paraphrasing. There's enough incorrect information on the internet without any need for HazzardNet to add to it!

I was here all on my own, so I watched 'The Great Santa Claus Chase' anyway.

To borrow a line from the episode, I "was as lonely as old Waylon on the night of the Country Music Association Awards."

Is there a problem with posts being visible on this thread, because people seem to keep missing them.
 
 

State of the COUNTY
No we didn't. Boss JD Hogg actually posted "LiQuor" for Q. It's between "PEGGY Rea" and "REVEREND Ed Bachmann".

Just a quick detour to try and clear up this question. Here's the best grab of the sign that I could get. I'm now 99% sure that it's "REV. F.D. BACHMAN, SR.". I wonder if this version of the sign appeared in any other episodes.



Now back to the thread - we're looking for a "D" word.

It's very difficult to get a clear screengrab, but when Cletus catches Bo and Luke by not chasing them around the church in 'The Canterbury Crock' (about 30 minutes in), the name on the church sign appears to be "REV. ED. BACHMAN, SR.". However, it could be "REV. F.D. BACHMAN, SR.", which would be the same format as "REV. J.P. FRAWLEY".

Edit: I've tried going through the scene frame by frame, and I'm slightly leaning towards "REV. F.D. BACHMAN, SR.".
