I agree Antonio. The Santander thing made me question not whether Fernando would stay, but whether Ferrari would keep him knowing his main sponsor would probably go away. And as you say, Alonso must be sick of taking a 12th place car to close to podium positions each week just through the brute force of his driving skill. I do think he wanted to finish his career driving for Ferrari, but the team made a total hash of it. With DiMontezemelo and others gone, I think Alonso knew the writing was on the wall. I will watch with great curiosity how next season goes if he does sign with McLaren. Ron Dennis has always seemed a dodgy bastard to me and I don't see Fernando meshing any better than his last time there. I hope I'm wrong. As for Vettel, it's going to be hard. He's bailing from Red Bull after one season of a bad car. What will he do in the next three years that it will take Ferrari to come up with a competitive car? He'll go mad. And I will have a hard time rooting for Ferrari with him in the cockpit. The person who gets the best end of this stick in my opinion is Kvyat. I think he'll drive the wheels off the Red Bull next year and have a great season.

Happy Birthday to a fellow F1 fan!

Burgers and rings at B-Spot, Michael Symon's burger chain in Cleveland.

Tried one last visit to Hot Doug's but the line was twice as long as the day we waited like five hours. So we called an audible and went for a nice breakfast.

Thai pizza from FFF.

Happy Birthday Jim. Extra large Vespers are in order tonight.

So do I.

Congrats on the house Ian!

Well now, things just just got interesting.

I need to borrow your fridge.

Happy Birthday!!

What he said. I would definitely make that and eat it.

Happy Birthday!!

I have a HSU to add bottom to the Cicada's. I think it does a marvelous job of getting out of the way. Jacob and Jim have heard it and seemed to think it worked well as a music sub.

I couldn't agree more Jeff. Yeah, there's been some fun racing this year, but at what cost? Drivers being told to short shift to meet fuel flow requirements, cars breaking because of stupid hybrid technology. Why not give them 22 Prius' to race? With the hard skinny tires it might just be a good bit of fun. I was, however, glad to see Hamilton beat pretty boy. Hamilton's luck of late has been shit, and I'd like to see this remain a competition. And hey, go Riciarrdo!

Two pound pork sirloin roast. 7 hours in the water bath then a quick sear. To be served with fresh green beans.

From the Floyd's: pan seared duck breast with confit potatoes, chocolate balsamic reduction, shaved carrots, pickled cherries and watercress.

Ok, I'll admit I've shied away from whole fish as I have no idea how to eat it. Help a poor Philistine.

Great idea! So did we.

R.I.P. Boyfriend. Condolences to your sister, Carl.

Hugged my kitty and am now raising a glass in honor of Miko. R.I.P. My condolences Ric.

This.

Correction: Awesome chimichurri.
