Neo-Motorsport Feature: WORLD FIRST; F1 champ J.Button takes on Bathurst; Sets record! (Blunty)

This vid has been floating around for a while, but I'm surprised I've never posted it. Now retired F1 World Champion Jenson Button and V8 Supercars Champion Craig Lowndes both, in their younger years, check each others cars out at the Bathurst Circuit. Both V8s, both Vodafone sponsored and liveried, both championship level drivers. Legendary circuit. Hard to beat.

This weekend is chock full of mospo action, from rally to open wheel to @harrismonkey. Last weekend in Hungary was somewhat predictable, from the podium perspective, but there was plenty of great action throughout the top 10. Verstappen and Kimi went at it, Vettel and Ricciardo did the same and Rosberg and Hamilton duked it out as well. Alonso finished in the points again, taking P7 in all sessions. The rain rolled in and lead to some interesting results during qualifying; actually Q1 took about an hour due to rain delays. The number of folks smacking into walls due to misjudging water on the track was only out done by some of the greatest WOT-slicks-on-water saves rolling on to the straight, from turn 14, that we've seen this season. Red Bull is still fast and Ricciardo snatched 3rd for Red Bull, and 3rd in the Driver's Championship (DC). Raikkonen's poor qualy was rectified during the race, but was capped by an unpassable Verstappen. The ream radio rules were amended. Rosberg got a questionable Pole in qualy under a yellow flag, edging out Hams; Hams got the last laugh, taking the checkered flag and the DC lead, despite having trouble keeping pace on the softs. With the smoke cleared the championship standings are as follows: Hamilton, Rosberg (-6), Ricciardo (-77), Raikkonen (-78), Vettel (-82), Verstappen (-92). The best of the rest is tighter than ever and Ferrari is feeling the pressure, and to make matters worse, they've lost their technical director, well known aerodynamicist James Allison, this week. Rosberg signed a new contract, so the top 6 drivers here will be in their same cars next year. Red Bull may want to reconsider the engine venture next season, because Renault is doing some great work for them; oh I'm sorry TAG is doing some great work for them. Now we're back in Germany where Nico is strong and is looking to take his lead back. Should be another good one.

Enjoy your weekends.

Neo-Vintage Feature: Sir Stirling Moss and this Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR Remain Unbeaten (Petrolicious)

Petrolicious did us all a favor and made a short film on Sir Stirling Moss and his 1955 Mille Miglia win in the legendary '722' Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR. Just think -- racing just under 1k miles, Italian country side, no rollbars, period tire technology and going over 170mph through spectators, trees and buildings on either side of the road. All without knowing the course. Cajones, my friends.

You know what it is folks, F1 season opener weekend in Australia. Vettel is paired with Kimi, cloaked in Scuderia red, Alonso is paired up with Button at McLaren, while Hams and Rosberg return as kings of the mountain at Mercedes. Alonso was concussed in a crash during testing in Spain, so he will not make this debut in Australia, but should make the GP in Malaysia. McLaren is now Honda powered and it'll be interesting to see where everyone lands Sunday; will the silver arrows keep their gap on the field? Enjoy the weekend folks!
