I can see you now, sat in your string vest all stained from your gravy and chips knawing on a kebab with your one tooth and swearing at everyone.

I used to watch F1 with my father as a little kid so always have a passion for it.
I am not sure about these 50/50 leccy cars I hope now they weigh less they are more nimble and able to follow closer
What I do not like is reading Verstrappon not happy about having to drive off throttle a percentage of the lap to actually go faster.

I suppose it's a bit like when they had fuel limits and drivers had to manage their consumption.

I prefer it flat out.

Been to 2 races

1992 Silverstone
2023 Abu Dhabi

Both were great for very different reasons

This year could be very interesting

Went to watch formula 3000 a few times as a kid...

Probably the thing I hated most was when they had different tyre manufacturers.

Some years, a car could be up to two seconds a lap slower simply because they had the wrong tyre manufacturer. It didn't matter how good the chassis, engine or driver was.

Try the Silverstone classic, generally 2 weeks after the British Grand Prix. Exciting short racing approx 20 laps, classic cars, old f1 cars, E types, Ferraris, classic minis. Great weekdns racing and lots of old cars on display, food, beer and music.

Yup. When the tickets were bought, the season hadn’t started. OMG the crowd went wild. The atmosphere was amazing

Never understood it, I can never work out who has won

Sorry but as per the other thread (Winter Olympics) can I please request you do NOT think about becoming an F1 driver. I suspect even in your first season, driving your cherry picker thingy, you would win every single race. You would repeat this pattern every single season. Not only would that be demoralising for the other drivers and teams, it could become boring for the viewers.

Adrian Newey's new Aston isn't working as planned yet.

Not clear if there's a fundamental design problem or if he's just not had enough time yet.

I remember that one year one of his McLaren's was a turkey.

It usually takes him the best part of season for his work to become evident.
