The Bloke and A Bird Show Episode 107

This week we're admittedly all over the place as we bounce from F1 to IndyCar and then back to F1. But since we're headed to the Honda Indy 200 at Mid-Ohio next week we had to turn out attention to IndyCar too this week. Before the weekend ended last week we got a chance to watch the British Grand Prix, and while there was some excitement towards the end - overall it was a pretty meh race... Pirelli isn't sure they'll be able to figure out what caused Seb's tire to fail - and shockingly we didn't see "Angry Seb" over that tire failure. We know why Mercedes has been having gearbox issues - they've been trying to hard. Honda tells us why they are struggling - because not everything can be figured out in a simulator no matter what Patricia thinks. McLaren won't be getting engines from Ferrari or Mercedes (or probably Renault) if they dump Honda. Cosworth might be coming back to F1. The Halo is coming to F1 for 2018 like it or not. Silly season news - we've already got drivers confirmed for 2018, talks have started with other drivers. Alexander Rossi is back on an Indycar podium And Daniel Ricciardo may be starting to regret the whole shoey thing...
