I wondered that. Did our resident pilot ever feign an interest in F1?

What happened to Ginetta G15 Girl?

No posts for a year, but kept posting history.

I’d been getting my F1 fix these couple of months helping out on a film for Honda racing but now I really need my gp hit there’s nowt to watch.

So guess it’s a pile of dvds instead. Anyone else care to add a film or two ?

2. Rush

There's a film called Grand Prix that you might possibly have heard of.

Many thanks for posting that...very damning indeed.

VERY good read... ...saw these comments too!!

I'm going to be very much in a minority here but they should have raced. You needed a Bernie to say so, but they have not got one anymore."

Unless you’ve already seen it, Netflix Formula 1: Drive to Survive is a great look behind the scenes of both the 2018 & 2019 seasons.

oh, and just when you thought the st sandwich was about as bad as it was gonna get then old spanky turns up to ameliorate us with the benefit of his supercilious condescension.

The fans didn't much care for epic corruption and favourtism, highly questionable judgements and punishments from a high level authority exposed in public as a weird sado masochist, and incompetence and arrogance that nearly killed the sport through having all the teams walk away.

Back in your box you horrid little creep.

Not sure why but I get the feeling you don't much care for Max

power abuse is something that really ticks me off.

Seems to be a cursed name too, we had a mosley who was area manager for a while on the leccy board, he was properly despised, a nasty piece of work with an over inflated ego and not half as clever as he liked to think so right on theme. Condolences to any decent mosleys out there.

If you like older stuff there's a really good BBC Equinox documentary on YouTube about the Cosworth turbo era V6 development.

I'm confused.

I was just flicking through the channels on my Sky box and got to the Sky F1 channel and they are showing "Australian Grand Prix Practice 1 Hits" followed by the same for P2, P3, and quali.

How much if this weekend went ahead then? Or is this a previous year?

Edit: .Seems it is a rerun of 2019, from reading the programme description. Usually they put the year in the title.
