saw a post on line, basically: HAM wins home race in Britain, VER wins home race in Holland, Ricciardo wins kind of home race in Italy, obviously MAZ wins in Russia!
I like the Soviet Constructivist style of the AT poster. Of course Russia has left all that behind. Well, except the power of the Presidency and the security services. I suppose at least the KGB got a name change. The GRU didn't even bother with that.

It was immediately after the race that a frustrated Dennis, accompanied by Mercedes boss Norbert Haug, accosted him. There’s an understanding between team bosses that it’s bad form to speak directly to drivers from rival camps in such circumstances – it’s up to a driver to seek out a colleague with whom he has a grudge. This situation was a little like an angry parent at a junior kart meeting accosting a nine-year-old who’d dared to punt little Johnny off the track. “They wouldn’t have done that to Michael or Jacques or someone with balls,” one driver told me with a smile. What would he have done if he’d been verbally accosted by Dennis and Haug, I asked? “Told them to **** off!” . . . . When he found out about the conversation, Arrows boss Tom Walkinshaw was incensed. He understood that Dennis and Haug had told his hapless driver that they could “end his career,” although other versions of the story suggested that the actual wording was along the lines of “you won’t last long in F1 if you drive like that again,” which seemed a little less harsh.
Also in the plane....watch your back and look in your mirrors, there are blue flags all over.... Ciao Oscar
