I find it remarkable how, despite a decent engine (as opposed to our real-life DIY job) neither Hill nor Verstappen is able to get consistent points. They really are under-performing.

1) Qualifying
Because... yeah.

2) Super-Soft Tyres
The supposedly fastest tyre didn't give the cars any real pace advantage over those drivers using the mediums, it just ran out quicker.

1. Romain Grosjean
An excellent effort to get the Haas debut car into the top-six and one-third of the way to being unrejectified.

2. Channel 4
For an excellent highlights package marred only by the dubstep and hashtags that start the ad breaks.

Regarding the Bruce Halford situation Aislabie, I might not have made it clear in the PM, but you may not actually conduct any deals until a budget has been allocated. In Halford's case, given that he appeared to be running a small hotel at the time, this budget will be generous, but not huge. In a...
