MAX has to make it through Canada and Austria cleanly before just two (why only two and not three) penalty points expire but will still be under a threat of race ban being on 9 points after then.

I like a bit of sun but after 4PM when lotions are not needed over here.
Mad dogs and Englishmen had better watch out for the midday sun this Friday in our 'Flaming June' month.

It's so cloudy down here, looks like it's getting warmed up for another rainstorm

According to the weather ap on my apple phone 40% chance of rain tomorrow and as far as today goes clouds will clear after noon then sun/clouds with a high of 23C. A bucket hat would come in handy tomorrow for sun and rain protection if I happened to venture out

Oh still more to be done Wizard but progressing fine, all the door handles have been replaced with new (had to learn some carpentry skills there).

2 penalty points on that occasion, so the penalties have become harsher for some reason with no apparent damage to any cars on this occasion.

For the sanctity of F1. I'm sorry but Liberty Media and the FIA have this thing completely cocked up at the moment.

Next year the Canadian GP and the Indianapolis 500 are on the same day. With the 500 starting at 12:45pm ET and the GP's start at 2:00pm ET...The start time for Canadian GP is to allow for primetime viewing in Europe, but it creates an overlap with the end of the Indy 500.

I see Imola has been given the chop for next year and Spain now will have two GP's, Madrid being a street circuit taking over from Imola.

I honestly don't think he really cares. He won't miss driving the RB crap wagon. They will put someone else in that car for a weekend and just show how bad it is. RB would have two cars miss Q3.

He should let Sai drive it and then we can see how overconfident Sai is. He wouldn’t make it out of Q3 in the RB21 - in fact there isn’t a single driver who would qualify top 5 in the RB21 outside of Max.

I think LEC could do it. Very similar driving styles. SAI I'm at maybe.

I don’t like how they are replacing the proper track races with street circuits. 😡
