Hooray. We can bin off a challenging track with history, character and a passionate crowd that regularly packs the grandstands in favour of one more street race in the US or Middle East! The worst thing is that the circuit had to make this decision, which tells you everything about hosting fees

Ahh I see what you're getting at now

All the Things She Said counts surely?

If Red Bull lack the faith in Tsunoda, Lawson, Hadjar and Iwasa, then they'll look elsewhere. It would take a lot of peacemaking (and cash) to convince Sainz or Verstappen to agree to Carlos joining. Colapinto raised a few imoressed glances and it would be unfair to write him off on the back of a pair of difficult races. Crashing at a soaking Brazil is no shame when far more experienced drivers did the same and a cold and slippery Vegas track is also a tricky one. Yesterday wasn't his fault at all. But frankly if you're not convinced by Tsunoda then Colapinto isn't your man. That leaves three obvious candidates - Magnussen, Bottas and Zhou. All are available and two come with bags of experience and all three are likely to be willing to play second fiddle just for a chance in that car. If it's not Tsunoda (my preferred choice) I'd definitely consider Bottas myself. He won't set the world alight but he will be a solid backup and keep the seat warm while you decide. He certainly won't do worse than Checo has this year and he'd probably have done enought to challenge for or win them the Constructors.

Lando's penalty may seem harsh but it is the standard punishment for the crime - Raikonnen in 2017, and Mazipin and Latifi in 2021 all received the same 10 second stop-go penalties for failing to slow under double yellows. Unfortunately, not seeing them isn't an excuse. That there wasn't a SC or VSC is wrong but in this case not the issue

This race is a joke

I haven't seen any mention of Verstappen complaining but it would be understandable given the other 16 drivers had no similar penalties. And when you consider the exact same thing happened between Lawson and Tsunoda last week. All drivers get lucky or unlucky with stewards to some degree. It's more that it appears Russell has contrived to get Verstappen punished that seems off.

They've penalised Max with a 1 place grid drop, for something no other driver has been punished for before AND thrown him a point on his license. All this despite George not being on a flyer himself. knowing Max was there and was going slow because of Alonso being there too and then accelerating to manufacture the situation. You have to say George has played the game very well here (but he should drop the innocent angel act) and that this will add fuel to the anti-Verstappen bias claims. Additionally, there were over 40 instances of drivers going too slowly during the sessions, involving 17 drivers yet only three were investigated - Tsunoda, Perez and Verstappen. Only one driver received any kind of punishment. And how they managed to issue a sporting penalty for a non-sporting 'infringement' AND deem it dangerous driving is beyond a joke. Verstappen seems to be getting the same sort of treatment that Senna did. As far as Russell goes... I wouldn't sit with my back to him.

Propaganda were brilliant but were royally screwed over by ZTT so badly it caused them to effectively split up, with Brucken leaving to form Act. The rest of them released an awful second album that's best ignored. Such a shame as the album A Secret Wish is a forgotten gem,

Qatar Providing Fernando Alonso takes the start on Sunday it will be his 400th GP. He will then have competed in 35% of all World Championship Grand Prix (36% if you exclude the Indy 500s run in 1950-60). McLaren can clinch their first Constructors title since 1998 but they will need a 1-2 in the Sprint and the GP, plus the Flap to win it regardless of what Ferrari do.

They immediately stated the Colton Herta was in consideration, which does make some sense but have added nothing about the second seat. I wouldn't be surprised if Ferrari may well have a say in things though.

Art of Noise were very special

Definitely better with the video version

Although I too will always prefer the David McWilliams version, Marc Almond's cover of Pearly Spencer is class. Grace Jones is a mid '80s classic and the T.a.t.u. tracks are decent. Starting to get in to the stuff I rather like now.

Apparently, if you spell Andretti as C-a-d-i-l-l-a-c all opposition to entering Formula One goes away just like that.

Yeah, that's fine. Will amend the list.

Voting for this is now closed. Thanks to everyone who contributed. After a few days compiling (and so as not to detract from the Trevor Horn rate), I shall begin with the results next week.

The biggest travesty is using the wrong version of Bono's line, it's the part the whole song hinges on neither he nor anyone else has ever bettered the delivery he gave it in 1984. Otherwise the production is fine, Dizzee's part is better separated from the main sections, so it doesn't break the flow so much. On the negative, some of the vocals are not the most memorable versions they could have picked, the repetition of lines is jarring the news clips don't help and it would have been better to use Bowie's lines from Live Aid than to use his spoken intro. They've tried to please everyone with throwing the names at it, when they should have cherrypicked better. It feels like it wouldn't be hard to improve this just by streamlining it a little.

The McLaren excels best a medium-high downforce circuits with long sweeping 'medium-fast' corners and the cars prefer higher temperatures generally. Hence, Vegas, with it's very long straights and super low temps was a nightmare for them. Circuits like Barcelona, Zandvoort, Brazil, Silverstone really suit them. They actually found the right setup for their final stint on hards where both drivers posted competitive times. Qatar should be better for them, the heat will help (and Mercedes will enjoy less of a boost because of it) but it also has a lot of slow corners in S2 which won't be ideal, but there are enough of the right type of corners that they should comfortably find a setup to put them at or near the front again. Losail is also a circuit that doesn't suit the Ferrari so they may be on the back foot from the off. I'd punt at the two McLaren's on the front row, possibly split by Max who'll be 3rd otherwise. Leclerc to line up 4th. Mercs up next if the heat doesn't kill them too hard. Plus it's a Sprint so nobody will have much time to explore setup options. (Watch this prediction go spectacularly wrong now!)

Murray Walker and James Hunt together was a class pairing. James may have been famous for his vicious criticism but his analysis was second to none too. As much as I like Brundle and am happy he's there, he's not on the same level and his partner, David Croft is a blitering idiot. zl-oAsDCGNA JMZhPtJ86Eo _L61MSxDCwY

Haunted by Shane and Sinead is glorious song sung brilliantly but I actually always felt the production was very bland. And for me, the orgininal version sung by Cait O'Riordan is still the best.

The right driver wins the title and it's probably his finest season to date. Shame Lewis ballsed up qualifying as he had the measure of Russell this weekend, otherwise. Already looks like next year could be anyone's if car development continues the pattern of these last couple of years, especially as Red Bull will get plenty of wind tunnell testing back.

The last time I went to the British GP. I'll never forget the guy, two rows in front of me, who'd put £50 on Herbert to win at 100-1 odds. Possibly the happiest I've ever seen anyone.

One of Schumacher's best drives. Stunning.

Small error here. This is 2014
