Finally made it to the end. This is just far too long, ain't it. Still pretty fireworks I guess :cool:

I love F1 but aint got Sky and not willing to pay. And, i wont go to extreme lengths (naughty) to watch it. I prefer to watch the highlights...

I miss the old days when BBC had it on with Murray etc...

On the upside it means the start of the 2025 isn't that far away! (101 Days!) and even better its back to Melbourne for the opener!

Thanks for all the threads, @chrismscotland !

Quite a few teams doing their rookie FP1 runs this weekend, but the most interesting one is Ferrari, who will have Arthur Leclerc running alongside Charles Leclerc in FP1. Bit of a weird one with Arthur having left F2 after an unsuccessful year, but he is a development driver for Ferrari so I guess this is probably part of his contract?

F1 Academy has been rescheduled to have a third race this weekend, but Pin keeps her points for Pole from the cancelled race which means that there are now more points on offer than before and Pulling has unwon the Championship since Pin can technically still win if she wins all three races with pole and fastest lap and Pulling gets zero.

Masi comes back, press release on Sunday morning that the race is now worth quadruple points, Norris gets a 1 lap headstart, Max gets 1 lap deficit, the final race is now 'exciting' again, title is back up for grabs and off they all go 'car racing'.

Yeah, this won't happen. Abs will be re-crowned and she can celebrate all over again.

Yeah, it's a total fiction, just hilariously disfunctional that's she's unwon at all.

Absolutely buzzing, heading off to Dubai tomorrow to be driving down for the race weekend.

Shame the drivers title was settled in Vegas but hey ho, really looking forward to the weekend.
