I was trying to find something funny on Lewis to share, but I found this instead. Whah???

Pink socks. Spare me the excuses. Forget what Vettel said, he sounds like a disgruntled former champion who knows he's just riding the bus at this stage and forgot what made him a celebrity in first place.

I'd rather take the James Hunt way.

He's definitely going into some form of politics.

Though I'd think his value to the F1 broadcasters will be huge . Hope the UK gets him before the jormans

Dont mention the war.....

I didn't have opportunity to see the interview, however a few headlines on the internet suggest climate conditions is on Seb' mind, while questioning whether racing is really right thing to engage with, and making things worse.
Not that he is wrong about that, but I am not sure what can be about it. Eliminate racing? It's not going to happen, and despite that F1 is striving for cleaner carbon footprint, I would not be surprised if he steps down after this season. There is not much to please him at AM anyway. As his fan I know this might very well happen.

What people against racing fail to understand is that when it comes to the biggest advances in road car tech, it comes from the circuits. Teams are pouring billions into R&D.

It's like how war advances technology and healthcare.

True, however commuting solution is for some necessity, whereas racing is not.
Money could be reallocated. Racing expenses are there spent on prestige, not for some altruistic reasons. How many on the internet said repeatedly to manufacturers, if they are concerned in the F1 about commuter relevancy to get lost. This is racing. McLaren Brown and a few others are pushing for cutting budgets even further. There will be no research to talk about.

For those who are not in the UK but are on twitter and want to see some of Seb on Question Time, try looking on this account

'@bbcquestiontime' They have some of his clips on there.

I haven't watched the show as et, I recorded it and I will watch it later, however, a lot of people said he handled it very well and spoke eloquently about a range of things. He was also very honest about his feelings on F1 and whether or not he should still be there.

Show off I never know where to find these things and I'm not good at posting them either. Thanks for putting it up

I've watched it back now, Se does talk a lot of sense and he was honest about driving an F1 car not really fitting in with his saving the planet stuff, but then no one is in the right all of the time and none of us are perfect, are we?

Awesome! Thanks for sharing. I think Vettel may have a future in politics. I like his very straightforward answers.

I think the others gave him some slack with understanding that he has other things on his mind than Brexit, Ukraine, NATO, etc. It was OK for most part. I am also not sure whether the lady minister was totally truthful on all subjects, but that's not my problem, is it. Why particularly Seb he was invited, I am also not sure. Maybe because of his environmental activism? It was one off, and his management is probably breathing again relieved. Certainly not as much damage as McLaren's drivers has inflicted on Hilton hotel room at Miami.

She moved her lips..... Politician moving their lips = they are telling lies. Simples. .

I've learned a trick or two recently from a professional behavioral psychologist who expertly provided analysis of Amber Heard's testimony, and explained in plain language what he observed.

Neah, I am joking, but couple of issues what that official said in the interview did not aligned with the information I have.

Back to fun, there was not a single piece of Amber's face, a single word she uttered, which was not giving away what she was trying to hide, or where the analyst detected contradictions to her earlier testimony, according to that fellow). Amber is probably not aware what kind of people live among us in forensic world. It's downright scary, as we are all naked.
