Alfa have been told they have a free choice of drivers for next season with no outside influence which is why Illot is stateside. So I'm guessing de Vries brings in more sponsorship cash 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can split his career into segments. Up until he won his title in 2007 he was fearless, awesome and very, very fast. As soon as he won it he lost a second a lap and never really recovered. I was surprised Ferrari took him back as a #2 driver, but they did. Finally at Alfa he provided a bit of experience for the team before bringing in the new guys. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be replaced by another Gulf state race. Dunno how widespread these rules are, but here if a football game is abandoned before half time you can get a ticket for the re-arranged fixture or your money back, and it doesn't matter how hard up the clubs are. You're obviously right about each individual European race, which is why F1 should cover this. It's only one of the 22/23 races this year and I don't think a huge proportion of F1's income is through ticket sales. It's also only one day - they can keep the cash from the previous two days. They can afford refunds or to give them tickets for next year. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qualifying could be chaotic today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonS Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Is it maybe a bit like Mugello where the drama didn't come from overtaking, but just from the challenges of the track? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Nico and Jenson making a big fuss about how turn 3 has the racing line on the outside rather than the inside, and folk will need to remember that when letting faster cars through.

Sarto Mutiny Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Is it maybe a bit like Mugello where the drama didn't come from overtaking, but just from the challenges of the track?Probably. Both beautiful and challenging tracks, but next to no chance of overtaking 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
