Cota
 

Kimi and Jenson, cars 91 and 15 are well placed in mid pack at COTA in 22nd and 24th
hope they do OK. Maybe worth watchin'

And counting....

Beginners luck ;)

COTA spoiler
 

In spite of a whack of troubles and hard luck Jenson managed to out shine Kimi by 10 or eleven cars in the end. I'm sure they enjoyed it. It was a long, long race for what they're used to. Nothing seems to bother Kimi though, not so sure about Jenson.

Guenther looked a bit frightened when introduced.

Well that was ...gruesome....disturbing....completely unnecessary.

In fact it was FW 16, car 02. But ...

Dude, really? Maybe we should go after Chapman for Clarke, or Penske for Donohue, or Ferrari for like 20 people.

suggesting a man can do no wrong
is inviting someone to point out that he can,
for no other reason than respect for honesty.

So now we've got the proposal for the 'Formula Equal' F1 team consisting of 50% males and 50% females :rolleyes: Team members will be chosen, not by excellence and skill, but gender. To top it off, the new team will be funded by a 'Gulf state' (i.e., Saudi Arabia) where women's rights are a sad joke. But F1 has been an effective partner for the Gulf states' sportswashing efforts over the years and I give Formula Equal 10X the odds of being accepted by FIA and F1 than Cadillac-Andretti.

He who has Newey, shall not be bested. Long may he rule.

Let's not forget his Championships in IMSA GTP and IndyCar when he was with March.

2 of each, if my sums are correct.

The guy's a winner.

There were a few years that half the Indy field was March cars.

Think I'll send my copy to Totohttp://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1680121339.jpg

lol

Very good :D

The March Lola Penske years. Good times.

(And Porsche tried and failed to join the party then, too. History repeats.)

I'm a big Newey fan so I bought the book. Not as good a read as I hoped. I'd much prefer rereading a Steve Matchett book :)

F1 2023
 

Interesting Qualifying results. Russell beats Hamilton again. P1 is no major surprise.

And Hulk beats his teammate again . How about Albon ? Well done for Williams . Both Aston Martins showing great pace . Hopefully Ferrari has better race pace . Alfa Romeo not so good ☹️ .

And Mercedes is not a slug after all.

I will be surprised if the winner is different from the pole sitter.

Perhaps there will be interesting racing for other positions. Four drs zones, really?

Hard for Lew to tell the world how much he suffered to drag that ox cart over the finish line when his teammate goes faster. (Or maybe the 'setup coin toss' worked in George's favor again and Lew would have been on pole if he'd had George's setup...)

Yes but Kmag is ahead in points (1 point). Hulk has none. It might soon change.

This is ridiculous. Is Masi officiating again?

Calling a red flag in such a delayed fashion. I mean, were there 3 or 4 laps run behind the safety car before the stewards decided to red flag the race?

And then a standing re-start?

Are they trying to give the race back to Max?

Totally unfair first to George (on the delayed red flag), and then to Hamilton (on the standing re-start).

LOL,
it just gets worse from here.

Expensive race !! Mostly a red flag smash and crash.

That was a strange one . Congrats to Hulk scoring points . What a train wreck finish for Alpine . Ferrari zero points ........ Ouch !

Looks like Pierre Gasly will be banned from the next race . Adding insult to injury ☹️.

Not having to go to Baku might be a plus for some of these drivers. BTW no race until Apr 30. , quite a gap in races. I ll have to find a hobby.

Moto GP, WEC Hypercar, IMSA LMDh, Indy, these hobbies should keep you busy ;)

That was effed up.

Most bummed for Haas and for LeClerc. Sucks that they can’t restart his car since it appeared to be undamaged.

Most bizarre race finish ever.

Wow.

Didn't watch the race but is sounds like it was a mess from start to finish

Will be great viewing on Drive to Survive

Why don't they use backpack blowers to clear the track? 6 guys with blowers could clear the track of the gravel much quicker than 15 mean with push brooms. :rolleyes: My $.02. ;)

can you say NASCAR competition yellow?

Union broomers ? 😋
