My country may be going down the tubes my friend after reading about the UK Budget but this last race is a pleasant distraction from it

Yeah I heard about it . But Belgium 'IS already down the tubes . Couldn't be worse ..

Too bad It's already the last race . Will be a very long winter without the F1 races .

Ferrari said today , they don't have upgrades for Abu Dhabi , because they reached the limit of the 2022 budget cap .
All these Ferrari Superfast PU's weren't cheap !

Max's family is threatened , his girlfriend Kelly Piquet , his sister Victoria Verstappen and his mom Sophie Kumpen .

Checo Perez lied about his Monaco crash at T8 in Q3.

The p?s that run this country do the same every time, hit the middle earners hardest but now it's as bad as it was after WW2!

I read about Max's family being threatened, I guess it's from on-line trash and as far as Checo is concerned he should maybe take a lie detector test.

Getting back to F1 it's been reported that Charlie has not spoken to Binotto since Silverstone where a team blunder occured.

This is one thing about Vettel, apart from his eco warrior conversion he still has that human touch. Personally I think his best off track performance was when he swapped the boards around at Montreal in 2019,that was classic.

Onto the race in hand now and the weather will stay hot and dry unsurprisingly for that neck of the woods and winds of around 30 mph at race time may make it interesting for some aero sensitive cars.

There are a few reserve drivers that have taken over for FP1 from the main drivers including Lawson,the confirmed reserve driver for RB Racing who is substituting for Verstappen in case any newbies have joined in.

FP1 completed and as expected the Mercs are leading FP1 but understandable with Max not being there, see you at 13.00 for FP2,time schedule below.

I completely ignore FP sessions because they don't represent the race nor qualifying.

I mean, we saw the HAAS take pole and didn't do well during the sprint.

The long straight will kill the Mercedes during the race, these fast times are with DRS, without DRS, I don't think the Mercedes has the straight line speed to be that quick in the race.

Right - who is going to raise a formal requirement to investigate. If its investigated that's terrible for Perez and bad for Red Bull who are likely to know from their data and why didn't they call it out.

This could get interesting..... or will the other teams leave it?!?

FIA open to investigating Perez Monaco incident

[///M Power-Belgium]

Sainz today :

• Do you think Sergio Pérez crashed deliberately at Monaco ?

Sainz : Look - We are racing with 20 drivers in a F1 race . From these 20 drivers , 20 drivers knew at that moment in Monaco that the crash was performed deliberately .

• Your Ferrari teammate Charles Leclerc was more than once suspected from a similar situation ?

Sainz : No further comment , have a nice day .
