F1’s Hybrid Mess & The £150k ‘High-Risk’ Cars

With an unscheduled break in the F1 calendar, we’re taking refuge in the forums to ask the big questions: are the new 50/50 hybrid regs actually any good, or is the "yo-yo" racing just a bit of a mess? PHer tangerine_sedge has a poll running, and the results are... divided.

Also in this episode:

- The £150k Pension Pot: PHer roca1976 has some inheritance to spend. We’ve gone hunting for a manual GT that won’t tank in value. Sam’s picks include a McLaren 600LT Spider, Honda NSX and Ferrari 612 Scaglietti, while Cam's tossing up between a Lotus Evora GT430, Nissan Skyline GT-R (R34) and Aston Martin GT8. Which one gets your money?

- Hilarious warnings: we visit donkmeister’s thread on bizarre manufacturer warnings. Featuring Audi’s air raid alerts and the BMW dashboard icon that tells you when you’ve left the gun safe open.
