#5 has not been lucky for Hendrick in a long time. Forgot who drove the #9 - oh what's his name, son Elliott... right.

Should be a great race. Love Darlington...

Diffey (NBCSN) says that Williams banned Jacques Villeneuve, Canadian F1 World Champion (Williams) from their paddock for his constant harsh criticism of their rookie driver Canadian Lance Stroll. hahaha What an idiot.

Wow, what a move by Verstappen getting around the outside of Magnussen into the first chicane. Risky block by Magnussen.

Max is a phenomenal driver. Too bad Massa punctured his tire and broke his wing at the beginning of the race.

And the winner is:



Hahaha, the fans are blowing a cheaper version of the N.E. Patriots horn at the Italian GP the stands.

During the last preseason game, the Giants played the Patriots in Boston and all you could hear was someone blowing an annoying loud horn. What is up with that?

I just got back up, and starting it on DVR..

I LOVE ITALY!!! But I guess I'm a bit biased! :-)

#9 is a Ford/Dodge #. I will have a hard time rooting for the number. Maybe they will bring Cartoon Network with it.

F1 fans release cans of smoke at the beginning and end of a race - in this case red for Ferrari - I like it. They must sell it at the trinket stands before a race.

You could barely see Hamilton on the podium with all the red smoke in the air. :-)

Bill Elliott was one of the driver's that drove the #9 car. However his son drives the #24 for Hendrick.

When did Hendrick pick up the number 9? NASCAR owns car numbers - not the owners of a team.

Owners have to race the number within a certain amount of time or else the number goes back to NASCAR.

That whole mess with Dale, Jr. vs. his step-mother Teresa Earnhardt and the #8 was a shame. She refused to let him use the #8 when he left DEI that was also used by his grandfather and I believe his father Dale, Sr. early on in his career.

Elliott will drive the 9 next year and Byron will drive the #24.

Just finished. I like the smoke.

Fuck Mercedes...
