Motorsports Thread

[Bonefish Blues]

I've seen several screens. Office romance and playing away, presumably ended by the female and not accepted by CH

So Geri may be on the market again soon? I better dig out the Old Spice...

Ha ha haha ha! Lance O'Classic just did your knees beautifully there

Not really. At the time I posted I could see nothing on the BbC news or F1 news sites. It might be that your heat magazine style reportage of it being some sort of personal vendetta by Wolff meant that I wasn't looking for the right thing...

Since I posted a lot has clearly happened. The point you were trying to make was wide of the mark by quite a long way. Multiple team bosses (not just toto) pointed out that Red Bull finds nothing wrong at Red Bull isn't a great look and asked that the investigation be more transparent and that the governing body should be involved from a reputational point of view.

Since then it rather looks like someone at Red Bull wasn't happy with it being put to bed.

I'd seen it on three different F1/motorsport sites before posting.

You want to do your homework before casting aspersions. Just because the Britain Bashing Communists haven't reported it doesn't mean plenty of other more diligent outlets haven't.

I'm not sure diligent is the right word. The BBC hadn't reported it at that stage precisely because they carry out diligence, not due to lack of it.

I don't tend to bother with GPFans or PlanetF1 due to their clickbaitey approach to reporting.

I can't even think of a third F1 news site. Sky I suppose who are entirely independent in their F1 reporting and not at all linked with large payments to the FIA in any way...?

Sky report:

Christian Horner: Toto Wolff and Zak Brown call for F1 bosses to review Red Bull investigation into team principal​

 

[Reynard]

And quite frankly, how much of it is clickbait anyways...

Crash.net have always been, to some extent, the tabloid of motorsport reporting. Has always been Autosport and Motoring News for me, although have to say, the standard of reporting in both those publications have definitely slipped in the last decade or so.

Think she is a bit past her sell by date.

Think she is a bit past her sell by date.

She'll love me then!

 

[figbat]

Think she is a bit past her sell by date.

She's only 51!

However, there IS a lot of misogyny still knocking around in the sport.

it would help if we could remove it from this thread!
Let’s all try to keep Horner’s wife out of this. It’s not about her. And she may be a victim too.

Sainz looking tidy in practice. I'd laugh my arriss off if he bested LeClerc this season, or even managed a championship.

 

[icowden]

No-one is giving anything away yet, that's for certain. Let's see what qually brings...

 

[FishFright]

A terrible start for Alpine

 

[figbat]

So, Ferrari vs Red Bull? How can Ferrari engineer a failure to capitalise on this?

Did Hulk take a shortcut?!

 

[Drago]

Even if Fezza ace qualifying their race duration pace didn't look impressive. If that translates to the actual race its liable to be a repeat of last year.

Or I could be totally wrong!

And that's the beauty of it. Until they run in competition conditions and configuration, you never really know for sure.
