Like many devoted Formula One enthusiasts, I am immensely excited to see that the pinnacle of auto racing is making its return to the Red Bull Ring for the Austrian Grand Prix. For the first time since 2003, one of the shortest and fastest circuits on the 2014 calendar will play host to a race […]

We’ve made it through another season. Or not, if you’re name is (SPOILERS) Oberyn Martel, The Hound, Tywin, Shae, The Mountain (probably), Jojen, Joffrey, or probably more whom I’m simply forgetting in the red-tinted madness.
