    Abbi Pulling has made history as the first-ever woman to win a British Formula Four race. The win came a week after she picked up a double victory in the all-female F1 Academy championship in Miami.

    Why did this foolish cheesehead didn't wear my hero's memorial shirt today, like any other? And stands right in the front of the camera and holding the brazilian flag...o_O

    Baah, this says all...:mad:

    And see Vettel and his father crying. :(
    Well done, Seb. You got me today!

    I’m not a fan of how Max acts with media and how he reacts sometimes, but there was apparently reasons out of his control which made it so he didn’t wear it. Some say it was stolen. Bottas also didn’t wear one so it wasn’t out of hate IMO

    Ok, sorry, i don't know that. Valteri was the cyclist complete on the left side without a shirt. Thats ok. Verstappen is in the main focus of the photograph, so this looks falsely disrespectful.

    I would have tried to lend from somebody a shirt, or stand on the outside. Even Montoya put the shirt on the last moment. I think, there was a way to get one for at least for the photograph. So this looks very unlucky...

    My oppinion of Max is a tiny bit better now, but who can keep up with the charisma of Ayrton?;)

    Keep racing!

    Edit:

    I have seen a Instagram-Video and that doesn't look like a stolen shirt, because a few seconds before the shooting it looks like Vettel offered him one, then the camera make a little pan to the side, and as the camera come back, Vettel is gone and Max is still without the shirt. So it looks like declined. o_O

    Thats not a good upbringing... and i take my excuse back!

    I hope this is allowed:

    Max Verstappen has failed to get Q1 for the first time this season as Leclerc gets the pole position at Monaco GP, Max finished 6th in the qualifying.

    Scott Dixon wins the Detroit GP. He is now the new points leader.

    Were you expecting this? Do you think it is the right move by Red Bull Racing or should they replace him with another driver?

    It's meaningless, if they change their mind at some point he'll be gone in an instant. Max is happy to have checo as no.2 he's zero threat to him. Checo gets a little bit of reassurance that he's probably safe until the end of the season. And the team gets the appearance of some kind of "business as usual" which they have been sorely lacking.

    If they really start struggling, can't continue the pace of development the have done with Newey, it'll be bye bye Checo, same as it was with Albon, and Ricciardo.

    The shame about all this is that we're robbed of seeing two top level drivers in Sainz and Verstappen go at it in what has been the dominant car on the grid.

    The rain has started to ease up now. We should have a dry track in a few laps time.

    Ferrari have made it back-to-back Le Mans wins after they won the 2024 Le Mans 24 Hours by 14 seconds after a relentless battle with Toyota. That was a superb race to watch.

    Agreed nice race to watch but rain played a big role in the tight battle we saw

    having said that I don’t think the nasty moves of the Ferraris have been punished enough

    some people at Toyota HQ must be quite pi***d right now

    ps coincidentally I am visiting Toyota Japan Tech center today to discuss their hybrid strategy update
    Curious to see in what mood Engineering management will be
    And I am French on top of that so I am planning to avoid LeMans talks:oops:

    This is the starting grid of today's race at the Spanish GP. I am expecting a good battle at the top with some overtakes.

    Max won in Spain, is he going to get another race this weekend in Austria?

    Looks like that track is out in the middle of nowhere. Do they get any crowds? I couldn't see a single grandstand.

    It really is a circuit with few places for spectators, only above the pits if I'm not mistaken.

    The last time I went there, Shrek's donkey asked me if we had arrived several times

    Yes, only Norris has a slim chance of beating Max in today's race.
