Know who I’m hoping finishes dead last from now on at least.

Red Bull were out with one of their cars in Bletchley Tesco this morning. 

 

They were filming an ad apparently for Tesco's Whoosh campaign. 

 

What time did they choose to do it? 

 

6am to 7am

 

Amongst residential areas of course...

Russell telling Verstappen to stop moaning essentially. 

 

---------------------

 

Russell said he believed Verstappen's complaints were influenced by the fact the Dutch driver's Red Bull team have not started the season with a competitive car.

 

"I didn't enjoy driving the 2022 car when it was porpoising up and down, killing everybody's backs," said Russell, whose Mercedes team have won all three races this year.

 

"The car was big, it was heavy. The high-speed corners, it wasn't very pleasant to drive around. But he didn't have the same complaint, because he was winning.

 

"Now, the complaints that he has currently are different to the complaints of Mercedes, Ferrari and McLaren, because we're at the front end of the grid. This is only natural, and you do understand and recognise the frustration."

Russell likes a good moan himself but they all do I guess.

Will theses changes have the desired effect in terms of improved safety and pure racing ?

Talk of rain on Sunday  so might be interesting particularly with the new regs.

Just read that Aston would have been last on the grid in the F2 race with their qualy time yesterday.

 

Its not funny…

Really sad news about Alex Zanardi. To come back after that horrific crash and win Touring car races and para Olympic medals was amazing. His autobiography is well worth reading.

Have they mentioned anything about the cause of death?

Totally agree .

 

A fantastic brave guy who over came such horrible injuries.

Earlier start tomorrow for the race due to potential thunderstorms.

Kimi needs to sort out those starts from the front as it’s getting more competitive now hopefully.

 

Verstappen particularly seems back in form .

Thunder storm has started and not due to finish until Monday. 

 

30 minutes has to elapsed since the last strike to race. May start at 6, but this may be a long wait regardless.

[The Bear]

It's wet and there's a storm right now but the next thunderstorm isn't due until about an hour into the race. 

 

We might get a wet start then a chaotic race once it starts coming down heavy again. Maybe even a red flag.

[PAULCFC]

Not watched F1 for years.....Topping up batteries wasn't a thing back then........all alot more complicated now!

[moore_94]

Someone driving dirty with Max and him crying about it lmao

[Super_horns]

Well done Kimi.

Controlled the race under pressure from Norris.

McLaren again having a strong race and Verstappen came back well .

Disaster last lap for Leclerc and good to see Williams get points 

[grobyfox1990]

Fun rave 

[isaidno]

It's good to see some overtakes for the lead of the race this season.
