We have tickets for Barcelona this year. I’m really looking forward to it. A mates going and we are surprising him.

Ferrari and Mercedes look fast this year!! I just hope LH gets dialled in asap.

I think Le Mans is way better value for money, and because you're there for much longer, the craic is beter.

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.

Of course you are correct, I couldn't see me losing a race against those who are built like twigs and born with a silverspoon in their mouth, certainly no match for a self made man like myself who has natural talent. I went to silverstone on a works day out to watch the F1 racing and gave the winning team some hints and tips, Ferrari was furious at me as I was their guest and never gave them any. A natural F1 driver, I think so too.

I see the AM Honda engine shaking so bad Alonso gives it' 25Laps max before suffering permanent nerver damage, Stroll 15, Strolling losing already before the 26 season, and 15 laps is average for a race for him?

It reminds me of the first Honda turbo engine which Williams used in 1984.

I'm not a biker, but for some reason I've been watching the odd bit of MotoGP on YT.

It's a sight more entertaining than F1...

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.

You were sat on an embankment there - are you sure that what you saw wasn't your reflection on the outside of a window in one of the VIP lounges?

The vibrations in the Honda engine caused Aston Martin to do the lowest mileage of any team in pre-season testing and are likely to impact the team's potential to finish Sunday's season-opening Australian Grand Prix.

"That vibration into the chassis is causing a few reliability problems," Newey said.
"Mirrors falling off, tail lights falling off - all that sort of thing, which we are having to address.

"But the much more significant problem is that the vibration is transmitted ultimately into the driver's fingers.

"So Fernando [Alonso] is of the feeling that he can't do more than 25 laps consecutively before he will risk permanent nerve damage to his hands.

"Lance [Stroll] is of the opinion that he can't do more than 15 laps before that threshold."

The team have worked at finding ways to prevent the vibrations from the engine leading to failures in the batteries in the engine's hybrid system, which afflicted them during pre-season testing.

Aston Martin: Adrian Newey says Honda engines pose nerve damage risk to drivers

Lance Stroll says he cannot do more than 15 laps before risking nerve damage to his hands, according to Aston Martin team principal Adrian Newey.
