I too.am a fan of the Bird, but I am starting to fear that his last win is already behind him.

Martin Birrane remembers the pain of having MasterCard as a sponsor last time Lola was in the sport, so he is hoping that either Visa or American Express will pair up with Lola this time, to try to dissociate Lola from the previous credit card association. Lola would also like to try to attract spon...

I think we’ve got our answer as to why he’s gone and I don’t think your going to miss him anymore https://twitter.com/thetimes/status/1663972359454244888?s=46&t=yV89I9vUltdR6f4r57Brfg Yeah, not great. Lots of this seems to be coming out in the open now. Great for the victims that they can now f...

In wheel news, an investigation has shown that the tether did not actually fail. Rather, the entire tether/wheel/hub assembly was seared off. Which to the best of everyone's knowledge, has never happened before. Alas, poor Snowball (the nickname the young lady has for her car) was totaled in this f...

- the weather for spicing up the race - the TV footage. I enjoyed all the new camera angles and helicopter shots. I never appreciated the downhill ramp from the tunnel to the Nouvelle Chicane as much as I did today, or the gradients from the hairpin to the the tunnel. And I loved how much of the tra...

Dead. Aerond got into the Let's Play community instead.
Ahh, that's a shame. I was looking forward to this.

Although... what is Let's Play?
He just means that I'm more focused into streaming atm

Thank you for letting me know, for clarification.

I would like to lay claim to Lola. Or Stefan GP. Or Stefan GP with Lola chassis as was the intention for 1998.

1. Lola
2. Stefan GP
3. Stefan with Lola chassis

What's the status of this series please?

Could also add Lella LOMBARDI (Lombardy) to the list.

We have the ”F1 drivers as food” thread, so I thought a thread on “F1 drivers as places” might be a bit of fun. So here are a few suggestions to get going:

Lewis HAMILTON
STIRLING Moss
Johnny DUMFRIES
Ricardo LONDONo-BRIDGE
PAUl Belmondo
ROMAn Grosjean

It's awful luck for Stefan Wilson to be ruled out of this year's Indy 500, due to a practice crash with Katherine Legge, but at least Graham Rahal (the only DNQ) gets a chance to race.

Amused by the way David Croft on the Sky comms called that - "If there were yellows now and people's laps were interrupted, that'd give us an interesting grid..." Mystic Croft! It's an interesting grid, but unless we end up with a race like Belgium 2021, Verstappen will still be on the po...

I like the idea and execution of this, but I do still wish that drivers would stay with one helmet design throughout their career, or even the generations, like Graham, Damon and Josh Hill.

dr-baker

I had an idea that they should stop the race halfway through and do a "half-time show" where they get some person who can't sing to lip-sync over a laptop and do some dances with lots of glitter and stuff, to help spice up The Show:tm: Eddie Jordan was sadly the first person who came to m...

The first tweet below is just humorous but the second one is bloody frustrating, particularly bearing in mind the tweets above.

It very much strikes me that they did not get the desired budget to correctly staff the series. At least, not enough has been allocated to the budget of communications. I would imagine as always that an un(der)paid intern has been given a free trial of Adobe Premier, and will be required to get a w...

I thought I was three or four years behind with this. I thought I last updated it in the year I qualified as a registered nurse, but it turns out I updated this the last time I changed jobs.

I've just found a file on my laptop with some more results for this thread in it. Here is a copy-and-paste of that. Thursday 12th June 2008, NBS, Coyote Run 250, Meadow Creek Speedway, qualifying, round 16/35 17.208 seconds and pole position. Still a handling deficit, so let's see how the race goes ...

First appearance was rejectful, second was tragic, third time....lucky? How was its use at the 1993 Brazilian GP tragic? (I guess you are assuming that the second use of the safety car was actually the 1994 San Marino GP, which I think is either the 3rd or 4th use of the car.) I did mean Imola 1994...
