Why does 58 headbutt his steering wheel at 1:09?

I'm listening to Fooled by Randomness by Nassim Nicholas Taleb‎. Like all Audiobooks I have to keep going back and re-listening to bits but it's really compelling. It's about how humans (in particular market traders) are sort of biologically wired to be fooled into thinking that random events are predictable, and how we always seem to think track record is a predictor of future success but fail to take into account things like survivorship bias. It's one of those things I now can't stop thinking about in every day life, like when considering how on earth a particular person managed to rise so high in the company you're working at.

Chase cam is so unrealistic

Also Hamilton, Vettel, Ricciardo etc. It doesn't seem that unusual for an F1 driver to be faster than their parents.

I think most of the current grid are faster than their dads.

I really liked the bits where he implicitly revealed how he remember's guest's names, then the inevitable getting it wrong. (Alice Clunt/Fluck/I see what I did there, and the other one which reminded me of when I thought Gisela Stuart was called Geezer Le Stewart).

Actually I remember seeing someone hit a plastic bag as they overtook on the inside into turn 1. Think it was Vettel. After his spin it looked like that rear tyre had deformed laterally, like it was all wobbly. Maybe it was enough for the wing to actually be hitting the ground?

Crazier and crazier

Did he not just floor it slightly too early in desperation whilst he still had a bit of steering on?

You probably heard but Brundle thinks it was vibration from the damaged rear tyre after the spin.

Oof, that was bizarre! Like Vettel’s car imploded under the pressure/shame!

Lewis looked inches from hitting LeClerc multiple times on lap 1, was like he knew exactly when to move to save his front wing before it even happened.

I just finished watching them all for the first time on NowTV. Picture looked fine to me My favourite bit was where Bronn and Jaime were about to rescue the Princess when they got ambushed by the Sand Snakes, and it cut to Bronn who just said... "Ohhhhh for fuck's sake"

Nor this
