Really? That has to be one of the most bizarre cross overs, quite a big score for QT.

You can bet there will be some idiot that will be anti-climate change and will point out how Seb flys all over the world and races a gas guzzler!


To some extent, I'm also a hypocrite because what I do, there's a necessity for me to fly around the world and that's not great, there's a necessity that I'm burning fuel to practice my spot - so I'm happy if you say I'm a hypocrite, but I think the more decisive point is that I'm trying to do as much as I can do.

I'm trying to contribute wherever I can - it might be sometimes a very small thing, I take the car instead of the plane, I take the bike instead of a car, so I'm trying to do what I can for myself to be as happy as I can with what I'm doing.

Equally it's not about me, but people like me need allies in terms of we to need to find a way that flying becomes no issue for the planet and we're not burning tonnes of kerosene and if it is it's not kerosene from fossil fuels but rather maybe something like synthetic fuels, that could be a solution in the future.

When it comes to big things and small things - I've switched at home to renewable energy, I'm trying to eat less meat, and only eat the meat that I know where it comes from, so asking a lot more questions about my life and trying to optimise what I can.

"So I think there's a lot of ideas and the good thing is if you get into them there's a lot of solutions around.

Yeah that's a reasonable answer, it's the question that's silly. And Seb won't get a chance to explain that on QT.

Not we saw barely any of them due to poor camera work but there was 45 overtakes in the Grand Prix yesterday.

Ridiculous that the highlights aren’t up on Channel 4 yet as well.

I’m quite looking forward to F1 22, it sounds positive so far, seen that cross play is delayed due the team working on cross play being based in Ukraine so it’s obviously understandable why that won’t be there at/near launch.

Edit, watching another video it sounds like there is going to be DLC tracks as well, will obviously cost as EA :roll:

Edit 2, this sounds very promising on the handling and physics front at least.

Wonder whose car they’ve quickly copied after 5 races ;)

Just hope Aston Martin move up the grid a little.

I have to say Seb nailed it on QT. He came across as extremely nice, admitting his own conflict over climate and just seemed incredibly honest. He's gone up massively in my opinion. If every panalist could be like him, the program would be so much better.

Was in bed already last night so I’ll be watching it when I get in from work this afternoon, from what I’ve seen on Twitter it sounds like he did a good job on the whole.

When Vettel and Hamilton leave the sport, it's going to be in a sorry state. Full of bullies and out of touch posh twats.

the entitlement of the current youngsters in F1 makes them so unlikeable they whine about everything they are not likeable or have any character like the good old days of Prost,Senna,Mansell,Berger, Alesi, Shumacher, Piquet.

I mean stick any of them in a car from the late 80's pre 94 they would struggle to do 20 laps due to how hard they would have to drive those cars. The cars bottoming out more then these new cars
