But did GG get so involved in the F1 threads ?

I seem to remember it was the more military and aircraft stuff?

But posting style is very very similar.

Please can we stop this. Whatever you feel about LucyPs posts, and I for one disagree with a lot of what she says and how she says it, this is now bordering on bullying. I admit I’m not innocent either, but I think we should all stop the personal comments.

Formula 1 doesnt need thousands of people in quarantine, I seem to recall around 1,200 need to travel internationally, which is the teams, main officials and media. Then there are another 800-1,000 marshalls who wont need to travel as they are usually supplied locally.

It seems absolutely bonkers to introduce quarantine rules in a few weeks time. If you were going to do it you should have done it prior to this. There's also limited reason to have quarantine from countries with a similar or lower infection rate than our own.

Mind you I dont understand how so many Premier League football players tested positive, where have they been to catch it?

Well I enjoy LucyP’s posts and agree with most of what she has to say whether it’s fact or opinion.
I suspect some people prefer women to keep their opinions to themselves when it comes to sport and politics.

Yep it seems so. It’s 2020 not 1970

Let's get this right. LucyP turned up one day and joined in a lot of threads. All fine and everyone considered her posts and replied as if she were anyone else.

Then there was an upset and she became rude and started talking down to people. The reaction to that was naturally not great.. so she said this was obviously a forum full of sexist men. And then it happened again and she chose the same line of defence! Niether time was justified, there was no sexism.

That (repeat) comment alone far exceeds anything I have seen anyone say about her.

Sport and politics can be an unwelcome distraction from their domestic duties

Seriously!? You've just given her a way to justify her attitude. The worst thing for her and everyone else.

Not called for.

Well.. yes biggrin

And women on PH, and me sometimes!

It's not a good idea to piss everyone off at once and then blame all of them for it however clap

Anyone know where the F1 cancelled this year thread went to?

Come on, guys. Personal isn't the way to go. She's as entitled to her opinion (is she a she?) as any of us, and can, and perhaps should, post it. If I wanted agreement, I'd talk to myself. At least the arguments would be less frequent.

As an aside - not F1 but this might be fun to watch:

Yes fair enough - happy to leave it and move on. It'd be great if this same situation doesn't flare up again..

As for 'is F1 cancelled this year..' It seems that that's really up to Liberty at this point. Clearly several countries are now in their second and even third phase of opening up again. Austria for example, has already said they won't prevent a GP (or two..) so we're at a point there can be F1 this year. Probably enough for a championship but at very least some races look entirely possible.

Just a shame Silverstone is currently one of the obviously desirable European races but as yet no real indication from our Gov't as to whether there will quarantine exclusions sufficient to allow for such sporting events. On that note, there is more detail promised this week.. There was more detail promised each of the last two weeks though, and as yet all there appears to be is a bunch of different ministers with quite different views!

I think some F1 this year is at this point extremely likely. Wherever it takes place.

Brilliant!

Although watch the original now and it's very obvious the car wasn't going that much faster than the surrounding traffic smile

Indeed. The dubbed soundtrack is obvious (but nice)

There is one point at which the 'ferrari GTB' is flat in 5th and overtakes a taxi with its brake lights on.. the speed differential is about 10mph perhaps!? laugh
