Spare Parts (F1 odds and ends)

AI in action!!

Human intuition, invaluable.

 

Mazepin has started his court case to lift sanctions.
Dunno how it'll go, but I don't think the judge can award him any talent.

 

what court is he in.

I'd like to know what Court has jurisdiction over f1

 

shoulda posted this with it tbh.
The high court.

tell him to drone off.

 

No way another team will touch him even if he gets the sanctions lifted.

 

oh I'm sure they would for the right price.

 

Does anyone else think Ted Kravitz has changed ?
He used to laugh and joke , but Ultimately he spoke about whatever was going on in Qualifying , or team and driver news car updates etc .

Now it seems to be all the F1 qualifying , team , driver , car info is just a second thought ( if he finds the time )

He must be operating under instructions surely , he can’t have just changed like that can he ?

 

I was thinking that too. This year his post session analysis just doesn't seem like analysis at all, more like can we pad this out by asking people where they are from etc.... He seems to have been told to almost stop with the techy stuff, maybe they are trying to get rid of him by manipulating the viewing figures to suggest he has lost popularity.
It's a bit weird as they just added Bernie which is a great addition and gives a very different prospective to the strat and tech side of things.
Maybe it's just me in that I like the tech/engineering side of things and couldn't care less to see 'celebs' interviewed.

 

the imola race is off due to the flooding.

thats 2 races chalked off now and no room to get back in

 

Thanks for that ,moreinjuredthanowen.

 

:'(

 

I like that you told us but I don't like the news. I think Merc were bringing significant upgrades to this race, guess we will have to wait. I doubt Monaco will be a test.

 

Imola

Very disappointing for us , but the correct decision .

Coming home the local radio said it was Heavy Rain and Bad weather , I hit the fing roof .

Got home read the article on the BBC and calmed down .

 

Yeah. There's no way they could have realistically made that happen, not with all that happening in the region. It looks awful.

 

loss of at least 13 lives , and I imagine sadly that some are unaccounted for

 

McLaren dropping a special livery this weekend at Monaco - loved their Gulf one a couple of years ago, let’s see what we get this time!

Has there been much in the way of testing photos in Barcelona these last couple of days??

Seemed very quiet- I’ve seen a bit of Mercedes testing with Mick Schumacher but not much else.

Have to say, the Mercedes just looks right to the eye now- it was so much better balanced on Sunday and looks like they may have a solid baseline at long last

 

I’ve not seen much reporting either, but tyre testing rarely gets coverage.

Regarding “at long last” it’s been no more than a season and a fifth - have you seen the droughts Williams, McLaren, Enstone have been on?
