Given it's the middle of the summer holidays and there are other things on, not surprising. Added that we've played terribly in the last game, treat them as pre-season friendlies and it's against a team we played last year too. I just really have little interest in the group stage and I'll make my mind up on the day -suspect many others will too.

Surely that is a mechanical fault - doesn't seem to be all that faster initially, doesn't lock up but is rocking the wheel and just steams though cars. It would be hilarious.

I think it's fine. As long as the home kit is black and white stripes, I don't really care that much about the away one as long as it looks nice!

Great laps Daniel. Now get out of that car and try it with the slowest car out.

I have sympathy with De Vries. I get he's not hit the ground running but he wasn't woeful like some in recent years and 10 races isn't a lot to get settled. Getting beaten by Tsunoda isn't good, but the car seems poor. Helmut Marko's comments regarding Horner's 'warning' and yellow card were brutal so that combined with Red Bull's history and his slow start makes it's not surprising. It would make more sense to me if it was to promote a young and promising Red Bull driver, rather than Ricciardo, given his results at McLaren. He'll probably make me eat my words now with a series of great drives!. With Vips gone and Lawson in a Super Formula title battle guess there wasn't really an option there. Perez struggling won't have helped the situation, a closer season might have seen them have a constructors battle. I wonder if this is an eye on seeing if Ricciardo could get a seat there. I agree, but it was probably the wrong team for him to choose in hindsight. I suspect had he gone to Williams he might have lasted the season at least.

Kinda risky for Ricciardo. The Alphatauri looks a bit of a pup and if he gets beaten by Tsunoda after his last year and a bit with McLaren he'll not have many options. I think it's a little harsh on DeVries as he's not that far off Tsunoda but Red Bull have been a little quick before - see Alex Albon, Pierre Gasly.

Was on the night bus on Saturday night. Trnsmt was on, town was busy and it was very quiet. Used to be really busy and a party bus. I used to use the train more than bus to get into Glasgow but switched due to the cuts that Scotrail made to frequency and late night services.

I'm not sure about that. He's having a poor season, but he has a decent record overall with Championship wins in Formula E and F2. Indeed he was teammates with Mazepin when he won the title and demolished him, although second was Nicolas Latifi so...

Either that Williams is rapid in a straight line or that Alpine is a dog - Ocon with DRS for lap after lap doing nothing against Albon.

I think Alonso would take him out rather than let him through.

I'd love to see Hamilton try to have a go at Alonso towards the end.

Has that garage got enough spatial awareness George.

Norris got away with that pit stop release there.

Switched to it for 30s. They were chatting nonsense and hadn't realised the Ferrari's stayed out. Back to listening to main coms.

I think Hamilton one was marginal. Norris should get one.

Well Hulk has been helpfully moved back. That said, even if Alonso gets past, Verstappen will likely get him on the straights. Without some changeable conditions it will be a stroll for him.

Hope Magennis can get a run of games, not nice seeing someone struggle with injuries and that record is horrible. A really good player for us when he came through, you'd hope he would kick on like Morgan, McLean, McGinn and others so sad to see how his career has been impacted by injury.

Every team in the lower half of the league wants a player that can do that. They either fall outside our budget, or you come across a player who has a great season like Regan Charles Cook or Kevin Van Veen - and then they are usually offski the next year. Miovski, Duk, Shankland and Van Veen are only players outside the Old Firm getting more than 15 goals this year in the league. If Robinson can find a striker that is capable of a return of 10 or more league goals a season, that is pretty decent for where we are.

Tbh with VAR and added time I wasn't entirely sure!

3 up with 25 to go and you lose on penalties. FFS!

Presumably the same folk who like to tell you that "if Scotland had B teams the national team would be winning stuff as Spain and Netherlands do it".

I think he was keen on a return to Ireland. I still think he has a fair bit to offer, and disappointed he hasn't stuck around. Gallacher and Taylor are decent enough options but we're going to have to recruit at the back.

If Goodwin is looking for a fullback he might not be a bad shout for United.

Tait was a decent player for us. Unlucky with injuries this season but I thought he might have been worth another year. Wonder if he'll end up getting another Premiership team or be in the Championship?

Kinda come from nowhere too. Got turned over by Glasgow at Thormond Park, let Scarlets and Sharks run up 42 and 50 points then just seemed to change.
