Same with Antonelli. Neither of them are lighting up F2 and while the tests generally seem to say they are quick, well, it's pretty easy to be quick in good conditions on an empty track.

Err self preservation, he knew he'd get the Haas deal and doesn't need to try so hard with the high risk of accident or worse in that series.
Remembering Kubica who mixed it with rallying nearly losing a hand just before going to Ferrari.

Do we really care if Silverstone makes a profit in ticket sales with Pringle's attitude to RBR.

Even Hamilton adds concern to the high ticket prices as it could cost thousands for a family of four with no food included in the exorbitant ticket prices, with additional costs of accommodation and parking.

I don't think the MAX/LAN duel will get anywhere near the Senna/Prost situation (more so with a snowflake gov. body now that fines you for even swearing or having the wrong attitude to certain things) that was when they were duelling in those times.
Let's remember it was Prost who actually gave the green light for Senna to fast forward to McLaren in the first place and it's dawning on me after all this time that Senna as well as being a very good driver was on the edge of derangement with his quest to win.

It really is a cold and crappy day at the track.

So much for the Pommy summer, it’s 11 degrees FFS!

It rained all night and up until about an hour ago.

The cars have just come out for FP3.

Do you happen to know why Dick Johnson’s Sierra is in there?

I would imagine there would be more than enough English drivers?

Of course, Essex man Bearman finishing 7th in his first race for Ferrari is definitely something special and of things to come, he doesn't have to impress anyone in F2 now heheh

OCON has signed a 2025 HAAS contract (!)

This means Bearman and OCON at HAAS ...

OCON ?!?!
