So no real complaints here. Sun even trying to come out now. Just windy.

Best thing about NC...If you don't like the weather wait a few minutes or hours and it will change

Lived all over this country, and everywhere I've lived people say the same thing...

Lots of family in St Petersburg... they're dealing with a shitshow right now.

What's the polar opposite of that shower of sparks above?

The spectacular sparks in Formula 1 cars are caused by titanium blocks (called skid blocks) that are attached to the plank under the car. These skid blocks are intended to prevent the plank from being damaged. They protrude no more than 3 millimeters from the plank.

If a car sparks too much, the skid blocks will be measured by the FIA.
If there is too much wear on the skid blocks , it means that the car was running too low...
The car in question will be DSQ according to the FIA regulations .

LEW and Charlie were DSQ at the 2023 COTA GP..

Yeah . I like Charlie , your boy is a great driver and always super fast in qualifying
Where is for Ferrari a better place to win than in Monza . Charlie's win at Monza was fantastic (!)

LEW has zero chance to beat Charlie at Ferrari .
Charlie is Ferrari and a God in Italy (!)

After a few races , LEW will race to get the Spaghetti leftovers...

Who is systematically marking all M5Rick's posts as spam?!?

As if someone with 21k+ posts and 66k+ rep points suddenly turns spammer.....

Or is this some strange bug in the forum software?

Yeah . Nico Hulkenberg (The Hulk) is really amazing in the crappy Haas car at P10.

I would love to see Nico in Checo's seat (!)

JUST DO IT Horner
