I cashed in Alonso as I bought him for 9m and sold him at 18m, (if only Man United could do such deals) so with that spare dosh I could get McLaren for Haas and Laaandooo.

Just read that Dutch press are reporting Verstappen could pick up a 5 place grid penalty for too many gearboxes used. That and the rain might make for an unusual qualifying result.

Rain is the great leveller and Spa has been known to have a bit

That could be precautionary as they feel they can make up places at Spa, would be the clever thing to do.

Yep he has but let’s face it not sure that will make a big difference apart from spicing up a few laps at the beginning.

So now we've narrowed down one prediction to 19...maybe 18 with Logan Sargeant...

Well I got rid of Alpine just in time - total implosion there with Otmar, Fry and their sporting director of 34 years leaving after Spa.

...glad I never picked them up to start. To be honest, I walked away from F1 for probably a decade and might not have been sucked back in if it weren't for this forum. Glad to be re-engaged, but still hate single-team dominance and lack of competitiveness overall. Doesn't matter who it is...it's always more exciting when the outcome is in doubt.

Max must have had an ar2e twitching like a rabbits nose in Q2. He was a very angry man on the radio to the team. Not that it made any difference in the end.

Radio messages are heavily censored, you only get to hear what the FIA want you to hear for their narrative.

He doesn’t like not being out front and his anger then comes out at the team. He said sorry to them once he got pole and they said I think we are getting to know you know Max.

That was close! What’s up with Russell keeping on getting in Lewis’ way (and others as well)? He seems to be frustrated of late and it’s not working in his favour. And suddenly Ferrari is back, just as I traded LeClerc in….

Russell seems to be off the boil lately and that today I am sure will be frowned upon by Toto.

On a different kind of racing. I watched some of that E racing from London yesterday only because Maserati are in it. Currently their drivers are 6th and 14th. I probably lasted 30 minutes and that was enough as the noise is enough to drive you mad. That constant high pitch drone is bloody aweful.

Well done for lasting that long, formula e reminds me of being in the laundry room revising for a test the following day at RAF Locking.... tedious times especially when hungover...

Yes I also can’t say I enjoy it, maybe the tracks are also part of it, it just looks Mickey Mouse even with the sound off…

Yes, you have a point there. The London track is just rubbish.

Well today was a disaster for me and expect to fall down the leaderboard.

The tracks are too tight for the cars. I'm not one for street circuits in any discipline of motorsport. Yes, I get that you can't make a mistake by hitting a concrete wall but it doesn't allow a racer to gt to the limit and they go at 9/10ths* and they bounce around due to the bumpy surface, can't be good on the drivers' comfort.

(*IOM TT Circuit excluded! They just remove their brains at the top of Bray Hill.)
