The Bloke and a Bird Show Episode 137

A big congratulations to Billy Monger who returned to racing in the BRDC F3 season opener with a third place finish. Yes, we were frustrated by ESPN's race day coverage too. During the race, Carlos Sainz's car tried to drown him It's all about the data - Mercedes settled for second and Ferrari got the win - and all because of data. Haas' wheel nut issues last weekend cost them 10,000 Euros. Sergei Sirotkin's race was done in by a sandwich bag. Honda says that they can build a really good F1 engine...  No, really.  Stop laughing. There were more passes at this year's Australian Grand Prix than last year - but it's hard to get excited by 5 passes all race. The theories as to why there's less passing could be the aero, could be the car, could be the track... Racing could be faster at Silverstone this year.
