Well, until I finished working there end of last week :D 3 days into my new F1 job now and I'm worth more than a dollar, but only just :D

Alpine is getting a full chapter in my book if I ever spill the beans ;)

Did you work around Sophia Florsch? Wondering if she has the goods to move up, possibly F1.

Also, is she hot in person? Asking for a friend.

I'd agree, Danny R is toast. He needs to get a deal with a toothpaste company.

Carlos Sainz on radio for his first laps on a very sandy super slippery Qatar track: "My dad would do great in these conditions" - LOL !!! (carlos Sr being an ex- WRC champion)

Deschodt 10-06-2023 10:07 AM

Well done Checo - P13 - quality work... (sainz 12 - not great either)

Logan Sargeant 1/10th of a second from beating Albon . Max in another league . Stroll is showing signs of frustration .

Deschodt 10-06-2023 10:31 AM

F1 stewards are so slow... Stupid scenerio for the interviews...
#3 Norris waiting at post qualifying interview - > kicked out and demoted for track limits
#4 Piastri "oh cool I'm #3" -> by the end of interview, "sorry you are demoted to 6 also ! Bye"
Oh ok, lewis are you still around ? oopsie Lewis is gone? LOL

Looks professional ;-)
Wait it's not over ! Sainz and verstappen being called into stewards office for their antics.. At this pace Hamilton will be on pole soon ;-)

HAM says VER has done a good jobhttps://www.bbc.com/sport/formula1/67023341

Sadly no 😭

Interesting to see Max not take the pole at the Spring Qualifying.

rfuerst911sc 10-07-2023 10:14 AM

Great first time winning drive ! And congrats to Max for winning the driver championship .

oldE 10-07-2023 10:24 AM

Three safety cars and the soft tires still fell off the cliff.
Max is world champion. Gosh, I didn't see that coming

Yea, that track has a lot of issues. I guess they throw enough dollars at F1 and have a track that sucks, but everyone takes home money so it is OK.

astrochex 10-07-2023 01:20 PM

Aren’t they saying a whopping 60k spectators possible at the track? I wonder what the actual attendance numbers are.

Likely free admission, to get some fans in the stands.

It is the long tradition of automobile design, manufacturing and racing in Qatar that made them want F1 race there.

Ain't that the truth? I mean Las fooking Vegas? Racing belongs on race tracks.

Now I say that living in a city that is famous for a street race. One that works. I only say that because they are still doing it after almost 40 years.

But you are talking about something this is supposed to be a race track. They do seem to get more silly.

astrochex 10-08-2023 03:43 PM

No comments on the race, must have been naptime. :D

oldE 10-08-2023 04:11 PM

Let's see: McLaren continues to be the best of the rest. Ferrari couldn't even get two cars to the grid.
Hamilton made a bone headed move into the first turn. Pérez choked again. Lots of penalties for track limits.
Oh yeah, Alonso made a mistake. Don't see that every weekend.
Max won. You do tend to see that.

I agree with Les.

I don't know who's responsible for the curbing, more importantly the inspection of said curbs. F1 has stopped racing at tracks they considered unsafe, mostly due to runoff I assume, inadequate pits etc, but they still allow curbs that launch cars or curbs that wreck tires. Pirelli is blamed for poor tires when its F1's fault for not having a standard for curbing.
Track limits are a joke, put gravel at the edge of the track, problem solved.
Every race there's lots of camera views of the fans and packed grandstands, not at this past race, reminds me of Gary Bettman putting NHL franchises in places they don't belong.

Liberty is all about having races where the money is.
