Oh balls! Hope you get in ok at least for FP2.

I'll be around next week.

Verstappen confirmed as the new Alonso. how long is he locked in for? He's going to waste a lot of time not winning over the next few years.

Danny:

Looking for images of GbG I found this which is really cool:

Translation: We couldn't get Lando so we are stuck with him till we think of something else. He's not safe at all imo. I agree it's unlikely but Buemi is still RB family, isn't he? If Fred can do both WEC and F1... Really though they should go for some bants.

In a heartbeat.

If they offered him it, he'd drop everything he was doing like a hot stone.

People have been saying that for 20 years now. LMP1 is arguably in a far worse state right now. LeMans 2018 was WEC's Indy 2005. Only 2 cars could win and we knew which one would from a mile off. The new hypercar regs look like a great idea but like the new F1 regs they are miles away. Both series have issues which will be solved in time. Hartley isn't a bad driver at all. He's in the top 99.5% of all drivers in the world, which is amazing. Problem is he needs to be in the top 99.8-100%. I like the guy but it was pretty clear that Gasly was going to be his downfall. He's just not quite good enough (by a tiny margin) for F1. That's how it is and always has been.

F1 drivers can race GT cars till they are 60, they have all the time in the world. Access to F1 machinery is for a limited time and when it's gone it's gone. Even a crap Mclaren is still an F1 car, faster than anything an ex F1 driver will ever race in anger again. There is also the limelight. A lot of lower formula race to near empty grandstands. That's got to suck after being used to the adulation. Fair play to Super GT though, they seem to pull the crowds. Button will love it.

Awesome, new recruits very much welcome!

I get more of a kick out of Danny's performances than Ham's these days.

I'll be around. Picked up the C9 and the NSX GR2 in anticipation.

Back from my hols I thought I'd play a bit and really enjoying it again. Set my target of getting gold on the Nordschleife. My first semi clean run was a full 15 secs over the gold time. But slowly I chipped away at it beating the target by a few seconds in the end. Glorious.
