Great news, Australia! Forget the VFL grand final, our golds at the Olympics and the much more interesting Paralympics. Yes, 20 readers and three readers of the exclusive newsletter, it's back! The Chiko Roll is back on the Mountain.

The Chiko Roll company will sponsor Betty Klimenko's Erebus Motorsport Camaro with Brodie Kostecki, 26, of Perth and Todd Hazelwood, 29, of Adelaide.

In an exclusive interview via the Chiko website, Mr Ms Other Chiko told me the Chiko Roll was developed by Frank McEncroe, a boilermaker from Bendigo, Victoria. In 1950, Frank saw a competitor selling Chinese-style chop suey rolls outside the Richmond Cricket Ground and saw an opportunity. Frank felt that the competitor rolls were too flimsy to be handled in an informal outdoor setting, so brought to life the idea of a much larger and more robust roll that would provide a quick meal fix, easily held in one hand, with a cool beer in the other.

By 1965, most Australian takeaway restaurants, milk bars and fish and chip shops stocked Chiko Rolls, with the marketing slogan "Grab a Chiko". At the height of their popularity in the 1970s, 40 million Chiko Rolls were being sold Australia-wide each year and more than a million were exported to Japan.

Plenty of tear attacks in Singers last weekend. FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem, he of the jewellery ban, who posted that "like women who think they are smarter than men, for they are not in truth", who has yet to investigate an official complaint about inappropriate behaviour by Christian Horner lodged by three women, now wants to ban rude words from the sport because he doesn't want drivers sounding like rappers. The FIA ordered Max to complete a day of community service.

Then there was McLaren-gate. Right now, Mad Max leads the driver's championship with 331 points. Leaping Lando is on 279. The Red Bull B team brought Daniel Ricciardo in near the end of the race, gave him some soft tyres and said go out and do the fastest lap. Which he did for the 17th time. This meant the race winner Lando Norris didn't get a point closer to Maxie.

Look we don't want to worry you, but if you want to know if your car is a lemon or is going to kill, you don't expect the government to tell you. The US has recalled more than 1.2 million Ram pick-up trucks, 32,863 Jeep Gladiators, more than 332,000 Alfa Romeos, Fiats and Jeeps.

Finally, our car of the week is the Spanish Ferrari, 1954 Pegaso Z-102 Saoutchik Berlinetta being sold by our mate Phil Metcalf at Hyman Ltd in St Louis. Built in the former Hispano-Suiza factory in Barcelona, under the direction of superstar engineer Wifredo Medina, Pegaso featured advanced engineering including a high-performance twin-cam V8 engine. $1m drive away.
