    Yuki's 15th this year was the first time since Alan Jones in 1975 that car number 22 finished at Zandvoort:

  • We're having the discussion in the office about getting a coffee machine - the main issue is that the kitchen is near the work area where people spend a lot of time on Teams, and they can get quite noisy. Today's whiteboard poll is Coffee Machine or Air Fryer.

    Having just recently got an air fryer at home and just discovered the joys of air-fried bacon, I'm still on the side of Coffee Machine.

  • Weekend Warm-up Pundit Predictions Performance

    Laura playing it safer than Lawrence and Will gives her an extra two points (who is Ferrari, anyway?).

    Pundit 1st 2nd 3rd Points
    Laura Max Sergio Alex 4
    Lawrence Max Lewis Alex 2
    Will Max Lewis Alex 2

    Laura extends her lead even further. Lawrence has a lot of work to do to keep in contention.

    Pundit (appearances) Points Average
    Laura (12) 33 2.75
    Lawrence (11) 24 2.18
    Will (9) 17 1.89
    Jolyon (3) 13 4.33
    Rosanna (2) 8 4.00
    Alex (2) 6 3.00
    Sam (2) 4 2.00

  • I drove from Palmy to Wellington early yesterday morning. Put on cruise control at the start of two lanes north of Ōtaki and didn't touch the pedals until heading down Ngaranga Gorge (minor adjustments to CC via control buttons).

  • Weekend Warm-up Pundit Predictions Performance

    (Predictions were cut from the Warm-up but they announced what they were just before the start of FP1).

    A complete wash-out of predictions, with only the gimme's given, Lawrence will be cursing Checo's lead foot:

    |Pundit|1st|2nd|3rd|Points| |-|-|-|-|-| |Laura|Max|Lewis|Oscar|2| |Lawrence|Max|Sergio|Lando|2| |Will|Max|Lewis|Oscar|2|

    No change to the season order, although Jolyon will be gutted for being cut (he was on WWU, but was in the box for FP1 so we didn't get his predictions), so no points opportunity for him:

    |Pundit (appearances)|Points|Average| |-|-|-| |Laura (11)|29|2.64| |Lawrence (10)|22|2.20| |Will (8)|15|1.88| |Jolyon (3)|13|4.33| |Rosanna (2)|8|4.00| |Alex (2)|6|3.00| |Sam (2)|4|2.00| |James (1)|4|4.00|

  • What’s a painful experience you haven’t had in years?
  • I've had it a few times, the first time was the worst because I had no idea what was going on. Didn't have it again for about 10 years and at the time I was flying regularly so I'd take a nasal spray for the descent and also try to breathe out my ears (hold nose and mouth and blow). Only a couple of occassions since that there's been a little, but I do get anxious at times.

  • Weekend Warm-up Pundit Prediction's Performance

    Pundit 1st 2nd 3rd Points
    Laura Max Lando Alex 2
    Lawrence Lando Oscar Sergio 1
    Will Max Sergio Lewis 4

    Lawrence bottled his return, failing to capitalise on Laura's out-there predictions with even more out-there predictions himself, but Checo earns him a consolation point. Will makes a solid effort on his return.

    Season standings at Summer Break

    Pundit (appearances) Points Average
    Laura (10) 27 2.70
    Lawrence (9) 20 2.22
    Will (7) 13 1.86
    Jolyon (3) 13 4.33
    Rosanna (2) 8 4.00
    Alex (2) 6 3.00
    Sam (2) 4 2.00
    James (1) 4 4.00

    Will's useful points haul pulls him up to 3rd equal (but 4th when taking average points per appearance into consideration). Laura making a decent start with her almost full season of appearances (contrasting with only making five appearances in 2022).
