Yep. If only a handful of others had stayed out and held Max up it could have been quite different.

If anything though, previous safety cars seem to show if you’re not sure, split the strategies.

If it had been a lap earlier it wouldn’t have worked with the 25 lap rule. Always seems to be mclaren ...

Wierd that mclaren didn’t put one of their cars. However the commentators seem to be assuming that all the other cars have two brand new sets of tyres.

Do (did) they? The 25 lap tyre limit is total, not just race or high speed laps. Any that didn’t have two brand new sets left are going to have to ...

Be interesting to see how the points total would be sitting if Oscar ( or Lando) had been more like a Yuki, basically scoring no points, with the others shuffling up accordingly.

Gut instinct says a single strong mclaren driver would have wrapped it up a few races ago.

Interesting to see how their ...

Yeah, the amount of dust and debris coming off it is crazy, I can’t believe it’ll last a whole race like that, unless they’re allowed sacrificial blocks to stop the actual plank wearing?

I don’t know what is and isn’t covered by parc ferme rules, I know you’re not allowed to make major changes, but ...

I think the whole sprint race thing is a bit shit and should be binned completely tbh. Not sure any of them have been particularly exciting after the first couple of laps unless the weather is being awkward.

A lot of teams don’t want to risk too much when they’ve got to qualify for the proper Gp a ...

“ThE ToRy pReSs”

Don’t forget the extra sharp gravel in the gravel traps 😄

Yeah, all going to be a bit of a yawn fest after the first couple of corners isn’t it. Mandated maximum tyre life is going to throw the chance of any unusual strategy excitement.

I guess we’ll be waiting for a safety car or a couple of ...

Not the fia trying to keep the championship going into the last round…

I sometimes wonder if the pundits actually watch the race. Hamilton pitted for mediums at lap 30 of a 50 lap race, ted questioned whether they would last to the end. Seems rather odd to me as plenty of cars had done 20+ laps on ...

I was too young for the Roses first time around, but really got into them after discovering indie clubs in the late 90s.

Hit pretty hard despite not really knowing much about any of the band member. Their sound was just so distinctive.

Seems way too young, have heard so many stories about what a ...

Does it even need ‘sporty’ tyres? Would a normal ps5 or whatever not be more suited to a big barge? - unless they don’t do them in the right sizes.

I’ll be jet washing, drying and waxoiling the whole area before fitting them.

Being an import it’s ridiculously clean for a 12 year old car, even the brake hose unions are factory bright silver still. I was hoping to do it before the crap weather arrived but may be a bit late 😅

Would have ...

The cars looked awful trying to slow into and tiptoe around the chicane near the end of the lap, quite a contrast to the high speed last corner which ( on the few occasions they showed an outside shot) looked ridiculous given how slippery it was.

Continuing the theme of wanting all changes to be easily reversible, I spied a very rare period Alquati manifold which means you can run later style twin carbs on an earlier single carb engine without having to change the cylinder heads.

I also spotted you can buy Chinese Weber idf copies absurdly ...

With Esure after comparing the mere cats a couple of years ago.

A bit of cold and it seems like every twat has forgotten how to drive. My 45 min commute took 1h20mins yesterday due to three separate accidents. Today I followed a big suv who did 35mph on all of the nsl sections, with occasional drops to 25.

I dread to think how bad it would be if it had actually ...

Not in supercar territory, but I’ve noticed more examples of certain more rare / specialist cars for sale in the last month or so than I have for years. Does finally feel like a bit of a realignment is coming.

Unfortunately it’s not the window rubbers it’s the felt scraper seal along the bottom and the small verticals bit at the front where the wing mirror mounts. A normal bit of frost is no issue, it’s when it’s wet and freezes as actual ice.

I guess it depends how rural. We’re in a village and look out over fields to the front, it can definitely feel colder here than in actual town, however it’s nice to watch the seasons change, see the most or frost on a crisp winters day. Frost is pretty selective, there are a lot of days hovering ...

First frost of the season on the cars this morning. No signs of any salt on the roads so hopefully we can avoid that a little longer.

Annoyingly my best car in slippery conditions, the mito, has frameless doors with drop glass which are a pain!

I thought I had a couple of policies due for renewal, but hadn’t seen any reminders, had a look and everything was still insured, thought maybe I’d got my dates mixed up.

Did a search, realised they’d been going to an email I wasn’t getting. Sorted that out and two policies had renewed last month ...
