We seem to live in this ludicrous world where london football grounds disrupt everyone ,what with the drunken chanting slobs attending to capacity at 100s of events a year.
The only time F1 gets mention is some imbecile scheme to run it around the streets. Imagine the distruption of closing off so many roads for a week?
What the need to do is lay a pinball smooth track somewhere like hyde park. Grandstands can be temporarily brought in for the weekend.
F1 gets its claptrap city background shots. No distruption beyond what happens when a football match is on.
King makes it happen in a glimpse of the amount of power he actually has.
We could have 2 F1 races in multi f1 team UK like wot the 1 team Italians have.
Clapton,collins and sting concerts wont be forever so we need to find a new use for hyde park.
Anyway to stay on topic, Imola.
Up Park Lane, around (or through!) Marble Arch, out west on North Carriage Drive, then turn left through Hyde Park and over the Serpentine Bridge, back east alongside the A315, loop around Hyde Park Corner and then back up Park Lane. Google maps thinks about 3 miles.
Ho hum streets again. Its like they have no other use.

He actually has left, effectively.

He's no longer allowed to see car data, work on new parts for the car or have any involvement in race engineering or setup. As confirmed by Horner - who does generally lie but I can't quite see why he would lie in this instance.

Newey, is gone - other than the RB17 hypercar, which is a commercial project outside of F1 as a sport.

However, the people in place at RBR are more than capable of maintaining the advantage the car currently enjoys for the rest of this season and most likely next season - assuming they don't mess around too much with what works in Newey's absence.
sorry didnt know you worked for rb
I do!

Or... I can read what RBR have said regards Newey being cut out of future development.. rolleyes
so you dont know other than what the press say
You're a special one - excellent choice of username at least!

I know what Christian Horner has said - his words aren't a matter of speculation: "Adrian's focus is very much on the RB17 (Red Bull's hypercar, ed.)," Christian Horner says. "He’s not sat in any briefings over the weekend other than the race strategy and he has no access to any data. He's not drawing any parts. His focus is now very much on RB17 to the end of his contract."

It's perfectly normal to cut him out given that he's almost certainly about to move to their closest competitor.
thank you for that insult, i dont really follow f1, sportscars is my thing and my job. but i i always am interested in all things motorsport, and yes i did work in f1 an age ago.
i was just asking if you had inside information.
most f1 teams know exactly what the other teams are doing, not trying to start a argument but genuinely would be useful if you have inside info.
Deuce has made it very clear on many of his posts what he does for a living, so your initial response to his post seems like it could be a slight. He did not even claim the source was his, although having met Geri, he may well have insider information.

Where's the WhatsApp messages Deuce? We really really want to know. Where's my pitchfork? wink
sorry i have no idea what he does, but if he has a genuine incite it would be great to hear, problem is alot of people post on here, and its hard to know who actually knows what they are talking about , forgive me if i offended, wasnt meant that way at all

Its all right there. Some bloke who is 65 wants to experience sailing a yatch around the world and do a bit of motor racing while he is still fit enought to do both.
100 hr weeks in the ferrari office seem like fan fantasy . People not viewing him as a real person.
Its all still a big win for the rest of the teams.
I can accept he will start working for ferrari in some capacity. Saying no! no! no! now and again lol.

Correct - other than what is stated as fact - in this instance the RBR TP telling the press in black and white terms that Newey is no longer working on the car or able to see data etc. That's fairly straightforward.

The problem imo was that after you had asked if I worked for RBR, in a manner that sounded a little sarcastic.. I pointed out how I knew Newey was no longer working on the car, gave my source... and you came back with another sarcastic "so you dont know other than what the press say" response.

In this instance "what the press say" is a direct quote from the TP - that's as good as you'll ever get and more than sufficient to answer the earlier poster about his current level of involvement.

It would be far simpler in future, if you wondered where another poster gets the information they post, if just asked how they know. Clearly a person doesn't always need to work in F1 to know something that is happening in F1, IE; if it's been in the public domain from an official source for over a week wink

Bit narrow here for these cars iirc. Might see a bit of a train in the midfield. Hopefully see some fighting up front, will be great if Ferrari and Macca can challenge for the front.

biggrin

I'm aware the TP in question in a lying toerag..

But in this instance it's hard to see a motivation to lie. Of course Newey is no longer on the inner circle at RBR, or even involved in their sporting endeavours at all. He's jumped ship smile

Newey!!

Horner stated Newey hated regulation changes. At the exact same time Newey was being interviewed and said that reg changes were his favourite time biggrin

Should probably get back to the GP now, I think there's enough threads for discussing Horner being a wker (proven wink ) and Newey debunking to Fezza smile

He's dropping three races during the season.
