All this hype over PIA/RIC @ McLaren for ’23.
I trust Andreas will have done his homework. I mean if PIA gets the gig, but can NOT drive it any quicker than RIC – nightmare revisited!!!.
With manager Mark W. […]

AUSSIE!!! AUSSIE!!! AUSSIE!!!
Commonsense would be to have PIA in the car as much as possible, even full events for the rest of the year.

No surprise as rumour mill was VET out & ALO to AM very early in the year.

As long as PIA gets a drive????

Thank you for the memories. RIP Brick Meister Paddy H.

Generally the standard of English of today’s journalists is questionable.
The fact that computers are based on American ???? is really no excuse.
Whatever language they are writing in, it should be plain & […]

AGP extension for Melbourne – YUK!!!!
Been there more than once and Adelaide left it for dead [track & city experience].
Additional F2 & F3 – let’s burn extra AVgas in the atmosphere [don’t here the greenies […]

Horner obviously does NOT want to hear “not bad for a #2” AGAIN!!!!

Brendon H. getting the pole time @ LM 24hrs. Brilliant, well done!! Who said he was spent!!

TSU complaining about F1 Race Director & stewards.
Reminds me of politics – How long ago did people want Masi’s […]

About bl00dy time!!!
Although this appears to be by the stewards, not the Race Director. I previously understood Nils & Freitas were doing alternate GPs, but would appear this is Freitas’s first GP.
Surely the […]

The rumour mill is working overtime that Seb may well not renew his contract, exp. 2022, & retire.
He is into ‘climate change’ & allegedly in an interview was not happy that, contrary to his beliefs, he was […]

“VAG were never going to join while Mercedes was so dominant,…”
VAG has been in the FIA F1 discussions for a few years, &, like so-o-o many, caught off-guard by Merc’s lack of performance so far in […]

“Porsche and Audi have decided to enter F1 in 2026, says VW CEO”
Porsche and Audi will enter Formula 1 when the series introduces its next major technical rules change in 2026.
Volkswagen Group CEO Herbert Diess […]

…thought he would forget about a bottomless-pit sport and join his mate “Tommy” in a venture for a niche market in fire retardant ‘jocks’.
I take it the same rule applies for the W Series?

So is ALO looking to do better in ’23, thus fuelling the rumour mongering that Alpine will serious consider loaning out PIA???

Audi/Porsche/VAG have been @ F1 PU meetings since 2015.
When Porsche left WEC, they built a F1 PU & actually dynoed it.
As world #2 auto-maker, who shares many parts within the group, VAG clearly has an agenda […]

The escalation of fires from lithium batteries exploding in cars, whether stored or on the road, is frightening. Has sunk at least 2 car carrier ships, to date, as crews were unable to contain the fires.

That photo of Fuji on Fuji is stunning!!!!

Here in Oz, trade publications are eluding to to marked ramp-up of truck makers partnering with large transport fleet operators eg. Linfox, Toll, in trialing hydrogen […]

Here in Oz we would have much higher than average electricity generated by coal burning, so any notion by owners that their EV is clean is equine excreta!!!!
Guessing it will probably be circa 2035 [same mooted […]

…and each average tyre, be it EV or ICE, requires 31litres of crude oil to make.

ABOUT BL00DY TIME!!!!
Am not sure this is actually all Masi’s fault.
Surely someone higher up the FIA foodchain should have injected some commonsense by instructing him to simply apply the written […]
