150 Mil . How many years I wonder ? Personally I think Max will have walked away before 2028 anyway .
I rewatches this race a couple of years ago. It still brings back so many good memories. Mansell was an absolute beast! He might not rank up there with the absolute legends of F1, but God he could drive just about any car, and it was never a dull watch. He just attracted and embraced drama. I need another Nige in my life
Just read that Liberty Media/Global have now purchased 65% of FormulaE, so they now have the controlling stake! I guess they are coving their backsides for a possibility of F1 going fully electric sometime in the future as I believe FormulaE have the exclusive rights on open wheel electric racing!
Red Bull apparently want to have the Mercs new front wing examined by the Red Bull Chief Engineer as part of an unofficial request.... https://www.express.co.uk/sport/f1-...-Bull-Lewis-Hamilton-Mercedes-Russell-request
I think that’s a mis-translation from the original story. Allegedly RedBull have drawn the FIA’s attention to how the Merc front wing flexes on track - this has been a thing you can see in the onboard shots since early 2022. Whilst Merc weren’t a threat it seems no-one really cared, now RedBull are stirring the pot.
