I grow chilli's here on our balcony in Baku, including the Carolina Reaper and Trinidad Moruga Scorpion, but last year bought some Regret Chilli Sauce from Wiltshire Chilli Farm, this is on a totally different level, a concentrate with garlic, herbs, and apparently tomatoes coming in at 12 million schovilles

When you say you grow chillies on your balcony...

do you supply Tesco!?

We've probably got enough in the freezer for the next 3 years, that's after giving half of them away, but they seem to thrive here.

I'm very envious!

Regret is bonkers stuff, I have the milder "God Slayer" from them and that's bad enough once that initial garlic and tomato trick gets replaced by the artificial horrors.

What's that got to do with chillis?

The usual haters seem to have gone very quiet after the last race......

Really chuffed for him, you can see how much it meant to him to end the drought on home turf.

I dunno there seemed to be a fair few out in the race thread.

Driving wise only a couple of minor issues, lucky there is no gravel at T1, but far from the only one to have a little excursion in those conditions. Probably triggered Piastri's PTSD from last year when Hamilton drove him off the track on the Hangar Straight. Given how everyone absolutely lost their minds about Austria funny that not one comment was made about this in the race thread, but no major drama, so maybe lucky to avoid a penalty there, stewards taking consequence rather than deed into consideration again considering there was no contact and Piastri made the pass anyway.

Overall happy with him getting the win, it was a nice special moment and one he had to work for. It was really nice to see it actually mean so much to him rather than just another trophy on the shelf

Was a little nervous on the cool down lap as it looked a bit like he loosened or undid his harnesses to get his arm out the top and I can't remember if that is a no no anymore and if so what the penalty would be, just remember a drivers press conference covering it a few yeas back.
And he has broken the sporting regs, along with CLC by dragging his dog around the paddock this weekend, probably my biggest peeve with him this weekend. Hopefully the FIA wont get all touchy and DQ him for that after he fairly snubbed MBS

When did he snub him, I've watched up to the podium and clearly you can see them shaking hands?

after getting weighed iirc MBS approached him and got well blanked.

I think it's been made much more of than it was in the media IMO. He shook his hand but he did it so quickly and didn't even pause. Looked like MBS was going to try and talk to him but LH just grabbed his hand and walked round him without stopping.

Wasn't so much a snub as just clearly someone who doesn't want to be around the guy.
