Why are you being so precious about me saying he's a twat and immature when another poster said Hamilton was trying to kill Piastri? Have you spoken to him about that?
That cat has left the bag a long time ago, maybe he's at the end of his rope with Vegas, but otherwise meh
If it was about the sport solely, then explain Bahrain/Monaco/Abu Dhabi/Miami
And would the drivers race if the money wasn't as much? (I'm sure Verstappen would, he seems to be a driver's driver).
Also, a bit of the "pure Euro snob" in this, but understandable
The drivers have complained about those tracks plenty in the past (except Monaco, as that's a much different circuit to other street events).
He mentioned Monza and Spa but it's not purely Euro snobbery, they all love places like Suzuka and Interlagos and new tracks can be done well from time to time. It's the monotony of the long straight followed by tight hairpin that wrecks them all.
Which is weird, because Monaco is just a procession once qualifiers are done. It gets a pass on legacy but as a new circuit would be panned
Fair enough on the second point
Still all to play for in Superbru Fantasy.
rpitroda and UnitedHobbit , both on 273.5 points, unless they both forgot to pick at the weekend, which is unlikely one of those will be champion.
hob is too far behind on 267.5 and me on 264 will not be catching them.
Monaco is to F1, what indy is to indy car, wembley is to England, sure there is better stadiums but this is the one, the biggest problem with Monaco is the size of the cars now.
its a shame as well because America has an amazing racing history, and some iconic tracks. Why can't liberty look to invest some money into Watkins glen as an example, a great track, rather than spend tens of millions or whatever on a fake track on a street or in a car park.
Those idiots would sooner back another midnight street race through Manhattan than go 250 miles upstate to Watkins Glen. Same story in Florida. Why race somewhere steeped in american motorsport history like Sebring when you can force the fans to have a miserable extortionate time in Miami.
Watching the Brawn documentary shows how many tracks have disappeared from the calendar. Wonder what F1 will look like 10 years from now
I liked malaysia, made for good races. Humidity was tough on the drivers.I do miss Sepang Malaysia
The Brawn GP story on disney + is excellent.
On episode 2. Didnt know that in Malaysia (round 2), if they had restarted the race, neither brawn car would have restarted (i'll leave out the reason why).
Just finished it. We've lost some good tracks in F1. 16 races is the right amount for a season. Not the overbloated 24 we have now. Vettel would have been champion if the season had gone to 24 races. Id forgotten how quick and fast he was in his Red Bull days.It's very good, finished it yesterday. The internal rivalry story was as fascinating as the external fight that Brawn faced.
Horner looks like a different man back in 2009, can't help thinking he's been to Turkey!
Ferrari may not be at Abu Dhabi due to potential cost cap breach if they repair Sainz's car.
Such vasser is milking it to get compensation from LV grand prix.
