IMHO. The Monaco track (actually the small roads) are not wide enough for a Mini-Cooper race .

On the other hand : It's not sure yet , that Spa-Francorchamps "The greatest track on earth" will be at the 2026 FIA F1 Calendar .

That's how much the FIA really s@cks ...

It's Formula One Management (FOM) that decides who gets a contract to host a Formula 1 race...not the FIA.

Soon Checo's dad will probably appear in the media claiming Checo will be WDC in 2025

Yeah . And that won't change in the 2025 season ...

But hey ! Let's put some Mexican sponsor stickers on the car and get $40-50Millions.
So it doesn't matter which idiot drives the car .

Just like all the F1 Teams , the Red Bull Team has a wind tunnel ..

But the Red Bull wind tunnel is built by the British Air Force , during World War 2 (WWII)!

In other words : The thing s@cks . Is 80 years old and antique..
The Red Bull Team hopes to have a new one ready in 2026.

Strewth ! Should have been changed by now surely, how long does it take to swap a wind tunnel out and last I heard it was miles away from MK hq, Checo money ? The 72 YO ex RAF one, first used in 1952, is in Bedford.
We have 'znajomi' in Bedford and would love to see this old wind tunnel at RAE actually.

With all the money into this sport, one of the first things I would have thought would be to ensure R&D would be up to scratch and with the latest technology..

Everyone keeps talking about AI and how 1 million pieces of data is collected in 1 second...God knows how many times I've seen that advert on TV in between the F1 events..Honestly?!

I'm not impressed one iota by AI or whatever I see on tv. As a fan all I'm interested in are the basics and how the driver adapts to their seat, the tech and rule side is for the boffins to figure out pulling their hair out doing so
