I'll be back.

Give us a break.

First up it's a happy birthday to our lad Esteban Ocon on his 21st. If Formula 1 doesn't get any more crazy then Esteban may just have a good shot at progressing. He has shown us he can mix it with the fast guys and not be intimidated by them in just these past few races. We like the lad and wish him all the best.
So why would I be wishing him a best future before the '17 series comes to an end? Quite simply annual leave. Not for Esteban but for this scribe. Speedway is due to kick off in the next couple of weeks, F1 will come to a head and of course it's Bathurst for the silhouettes which we are all waiting to see whose tyres last the longest.
It's been a fun year at EG&RC and I should be back after Bathurst. I've been trying hard to get my first podcast together which will add yet another dimension to EG&RC.. audio.
Enjoy Bathurst and the remaining F1 rounds. No surprises who is going to win the championship, probably not Fernando but like myself.. he'll be back. See you'll soon.

Okay.. you win.

Buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!!!!

Wouldn't you think this guys mother would have stepped in and told him.. that's enough? That would require a truck load of batteries? Hopefully he's now the proud owner of a new Fender Mustang GT modelling amp (no, not the car) with all the knobs and chips built in. 

What happens when..?

"I really wanted a podium today"

So what does happens when Red Bull decide to swap out a few parts? Their two main players Max and Hairy Dan get bumped back from second and third on the grid to a thirteenth and sixteenth place start. However that's good news of our boy Esteban who found himself starting out of three. So where were the red cars then? Iceman and Seb found themselves bumped up to five and six after a limp qualifying attempt in front of the Monzonian Ferrari fans.

Seb has issues with reading tabs.

So why is it that everyone 'thinks' they can play the guitar? Dunno if I'd be game enough to get behind the wheel of his race car though but anything for a laugh.
