It's not necessarily something we'd run with an article about, but it's also rather problematic. The images used are fine in this context but very much not fine in an editorial context (short example, that image of Lando would cost £325 for us to use in the article; unless the image each week is free for editorial use, we're hosed).

In principle there's no need - we could sling it out in the newsletter (there's one every day), and the next update to GTP has some functionality that might be relevant.

"Wait, these stats from Twitch say Charles got more viewers than me?"

Off screen Christian Horner: "Max, you don't actually have to push down on the wing yourself to make the downforce..."

Final Entry.

I'll try to be a regular to keep the numbers up!
 
"That reminds me, I need some new heads for my Gillette razor."
 
"Christian, I think I found out why we were so slow, there's some debris from the Ferraris stuck under the car!"
 
Keep going Seb, if you make a really good job of polishing that undertray they might let you be the reserve driver next year.

Please vote for the best caption from the Styrian Grand Prix. I might have to start enforcing the "no points if you don't vote" rule if this carries on.
