Who in there right mind thought it would be a good idea to GLUE a $300,000 uninsured diamond onto the nose of an F1 car driven by a rookie at the 2004 Monaco GP?Jaguar was trying SO hard to stay relevant amidst a mediocre Formula 1 season, and..it worked!

It has been a documented issue of the last few decades of F1 races where one driver on the strongest team scampers away from pole position and wins the race with no competition. But these three races? They take the cake for ridiculous margins of victory.

Breaking news: Max Verstappen's race engineer is leaving Red Bull...in a year and a half. Obviously, GP leaving Max is a big deal, and will be one of the only big deals we hear about all the way through the end of the 2027 season. Why? Because the McLaren F1 team wants to mess with Red Bull now that they're not the top team on track anymore. McLaren isn't the top dog either anymore, but here's to...
