And bits and pieces have been happening in the world, including, as I understand...
A heroic rescue at the China GT.
Yes, let's start with a good news, heroic, old-fashioned, just what a guy story.
Loke Hartog had seen that one of his fellow competitors, Olly Milroy, had had a rather nasty smash and sort of burst pretty much into flames while he was completely and utterly on fire.
So he stopped his car, popped out, got caught in the radio ever so slightly and had to forcefully remove the radio plug.
ripped the doors off like Captain America or the Hulk, saw that he couldn't get to him from one side of the car, ran round the other side of the car, grabbed a fire extinguisher, half put the fire out and dragged him out of the car.
I mean, just heroic.
I mean, there's something in a racing driver's brain that sort of, makes you ignore the danger or not think about it, or yes, yes, that'll happen to somebody else.
But it's a different switch entirely, I think, isn't it, that makes you actively run towards something that's really, really dangerous.
You know, you can all be a fan of, I don't know, sharks.
You might go swimming with them in a cage or something, but it's an entirely different bit of brain wiring than just, you know, oh, I'm in open water and there's a great white shark.
I'll swim towards its mouth and have a look at its teeth.
It's, I mean, you know...
Golf clap, round of applause for that man there.
He did bloody well,
didn't he? I think anybody that hasn't seen that film, which has been circulating on all the news channels since this morning, it is horrifying, spectacular, and the man is a hero.
He's deserving of as much praise as we can lay on him.
Ollie, as I understand it, has got multiple fractures, and he's in fairly bad shape, but he's alive, and he's in bed, and he's not burnt to a crisp.
And he's very fulsome in the praise of the man that saved his life.
Horrifying watching it this morning.
It's so reminiscent for me of seeing the rescue of Niki Lauda in that terrible fiery crash in Germany on the Nürburgring.
Awful to see, again, very brave people who went to his rescue.
The great investigation, I think, is going to be, of course, why weren't there any marshals? Why was there nobody on the nearest marshals post? It's not as though this is a Mickey Mouse circuit or a Mickey Mouse championship.
There's a lot of seriously good drivers, and it's a stepping stone to the FIA GT championship and racing.
A lot of drivers worked their way up through that.
