    Fred’s signed a new contract… https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formula1/articles/cn47xv7ky4do And it looks like Aston Martin the car maker are getting out of the Aston Martin F1 Team… https://www.hagerty.com/media/news/aston-martin-to-sell-f1-team-and-go-private/ Wondering if the F1 team will be...

    At twice the speed it might be... ;) Only mildly envious... honest!

    Mercedes me plug

    I think the 3G network is not ‘going’ to close, it has already closed. There is no 3G coverage in my area and it looks like there is none in yours. https://www.signalchecker.co.uk/wolverhampton Our C-class has a 3G comms module. So the 3G link no longer functions, but it still uses 2G for live...

    C220d AMG LINE W205 - driven 70k miles

    I certainly hope that rear sub-frame failure is not an issue for 205 models... As for the ride issue, 19" with run-flat tyres (as per my avatar) give a very firm ride. Replaced on ours with 18" and normal tyres five-years ago. Much better ride and handling on the 18's. @harisraja26101956...

    Dark glasses advised

    The craftsmanship is utterly outstanding, the result hideous.

    Given how well the Red Bull car has gone since Adrian left… Though of course, he had nothing to do with the car :rolleyes:

    I think Horner has been vulnerable since he lost the support afforded him by Dietrich. - Presided over RBR becoming the most toxic team in the history of F1 - Alleged unpleasant and unacceptable ‘workplace’ behaviour issues and associated negative media coverage - Failed to win the Constructors...

    Not sure Adrian Newey would be especially thrilled if that happened..,

    Formula 1 2025

    I’d assume that the stewards would have compared his previous laps. I think the problem for Piastri was one of timing. In previous laps under the safety car, he accelerated to close the gap, then applied the brakes such that he had increased the gap (presumably to 10 car-lengths) by the end of...

    Just an update (after seeing a clip) to acknowledge that Oscar was the first person to go across to Lando and shake his hand before he’d even got out of the car.

    Chaotic race which became a bit of a lottery. According to Brundle, Oscar put 60psi in, scrubbed off nearly 100mph and went down to about 30mph (he said 52km/h). Hulkenburg said in the cool-down room that it caused quite a lot of concertina effect down the pack. So a pretty aggressive move...

    One can only hope that Ben Sulaymen has some integrity, though there doesn't seem to be lots of evidence to support this idea. Happy to the proven wrong BTW...

    Formula 1 2025

    D'Ambrosio was at Mercedes 2023-24, so (like Fred) has probably worked with Lewis before. I get the impression that working with Ferrari is a bit like herding cats at times as each department vies for 'dominance'(?). Sorting out the politics was something that Jean Todt was good at, leaving...
