Haas have announced the Kevin Magnussen will not be their driver for next year. However, they are yet to say who will partner Oliver Bearman, with much speculation still around several drivers on the current grid.

The U2 Rate
Get on Your Boots is truly awful if you were to ask me. Glad it's low on here. Two Hearts Beat as One is decent but quite average for their early period and it's no surprise to see it here but there's definitely worse to come

Surprised to see Joy Division so low here.

Ralf Schumacher comes out
It shouldn't be news at all, but since it is it's very pleasing to see such a positive response from everyone.

Just catching up after having been away. The Cramps invented what we now call Psychobilly - a blend of Punk and Rockabilly styles. If you watched the series Wednesday, it's their version of Goo Goo Muck that Jenna does her famous dance to.

No great losses there to be honest, although God Pt II is much better than some to come

If Spa has to hold sprints just to stay on the calendar, I can live with that.

Surprised that both the Pistols and the Roses didn't get more votes to be honest. They're both iconic bands that had a pretty huge influence on hundreds of bands that dollowed them.

Really? So someone who never released a solo record in his life still came that high? I guess it was allowed based on those songs that raided his vaults.

The first sentence isn't strictly true. I'm going to assume you're referring to 'moving under braking', it is a myth that there is a rule against it - there isn't. Only a vague concensus between the drivers, which can be interpreted differently, and Verstappen's onbaords show he was was correct when he claimed he only applied the brakes after he stopped moving the wheel. I'm also not sure how you get 5 incidents when the best I can factor in is 3 with contact on the 3rd and final possible infraction. That rule on moving under braking was discarded years ago and replaced by the following - 33.4 At no time may a car be driven unnecessarily slowly, erratically or in a manner which could be deemed potentially dangerous to other drivers or any other person. As you can see this leaves it open very much to interpretation which the stewards present clearly felt was within the allowed framework, and they have all the data we don't see. You can argue about inconsistencies and that's a fair comment but that is inevitable when you have a rotating panel of stewards. Whether that is correct is another discussion. And whilst several former drivers have suggested Verstappen went beyond the spirit of the rules a number of his contemporaries have said it wasn't that bad - https://www.racefans.net/2024/07/04/norris-...portion-rivals/ Norris himself has said he overreacted too - https://www.racefans.net/2024/07/04/norris-...limits-penalty/ The 10 second penalty was the harshest allowed under the circumstances according to Johnny Herbert who was the steward representing a former driver, as it was classified as 'Forcing a driver off the circuit or causing an incident'. It's worth noting that Herbert has consistently been highly critical of Verstappen for years and among the harsher stewards for penalties, so I'm inclined to believe him here. I also agree with Norris that Max should probably have been penalised for going off track to stay ahead. I thought Lando's move was fair and solid. Lastly, there was no need for Norris to retire the car given the damage he had sustained in the incident. It was his own pace on returning to the pits that destroyed the car and the actual contact with Verstappen was merely a puncture that could have been solved easily, allowing him to score points - potentially more than Verstappen. So the reality is that it's up to the stewards on whether he broke the rules, and they decided it was once - causing a collision - and that his driving was not sufficiently dangerous (whatever Andrea Stella might think, it's not up to him). Norris complaining doesn't make him right no matter how much he does it Personally my interpretation was yes to causing a collision - that was clearly predominantly his fault - and I'd have given him a second penalty for leaving the track and retaining the lead. The rest was borderline but not overly dangerous, especially given it was in a slow corner like turn three.

Yeah it was a lot of fuss over nothing. If it had of been Sainz and Russell nobody would be talking about it at all

Ultravox came close to getting votes from me as they were very important to me at one time. The first five albums were all great and Ha!-Ha!-Ha! is close to being in my top ten albums of all time but I'm not overly on anything beyond 1981.

Personally, I don't mind the way Max drives. I'll admit he's crossed the line a few times - notably Brazil and Jeddah 2021 - and whilst he was a bit rough around the edges when he began in F1, his hard and aggressive style has been rather lacking in the sport for some time. Certainly Vettel, Button, Raikkonen and to a lesser extent Alonso, Hamilton and Rosberg have all been a bit too 'no please, after you' for my liking. Verstappen's style is much more in the Senna, Mansell, Piquet, Schumacher, Montoya mold where if you want to pass them you have to earn it. Sometimes there'll be mistakes but that's part of racing. Sure, he was predominantly to blame on Sunday, I'm not arguing that, but the collision was as much a misjudgement as it was anything else. Onboards show he was correct that he didn't move after braking, but he did adopt his line later than Norris and that it was one that drifted slightly to the outside as the corner arrived. Indeed at the point of contact he's turning right but he hadn't left quite enough room. Norris chose not to back out this time, when he could have and whilst it can be fairly argued he could expect more room, Max could have covered the corner exit as he had the shorter line and hadn't braked as heavily. Max now knows Lando is willing to fight hard for it and he'll respect him for it like in the way he does Leclerc. Charles proved back in karting that he was willing to have a collision if it came to it and you'll notice that the pair now duel very hard but fairly.

Genuinely shocked at the lack of love for Pixies. Doolittle is one of the best albums of the 80s. Also glad to see The Jam in there and that first Glasvegas album is pretty great

KISS are a bit of a mixed bag for me. The early stuff is great but by the time the 80s came around their stuff doesn't really interest me
