Makes one wonder if Red Bull was looking at a similar reduction in stiffness of the wing element, so they knew what to look for
RIP Sir Frank Williams
"Sir Frank founded the Williams team in 1977, remaining team principal until 2020, and in that period he oversaw their journey to becoming one of Formula 1's most iconic and successful outfits of all time, winning the Constructors' Championship nine times and the Drivers' title on seven occasions.
Having used a wheelchair since 1986 due to a car accident, Sir Frank relinquished his place on the Williams board in 2012 as he began to reduce his workload in Formula 1, at which point his daughter Claire became the family representative on the board."

I still remember watching this live...
One year later, and we’re still grateful Romain Grosjean was able to walk away from that horrific crash 🙏#F1 #Motorsport pic.twitter.com/5XE8w15uA8

I was watching on an hour delay and had avoided spoilers. I thought I had just watched someone die and apparently my wife already knew he was okay. After 5 minutes she told me he was still alive and it was such a relief
HWA just announced Logan Sargeant is driving for them this weekend. Logan's first F2 race, hopefully this leads to a full time seat for 2022.
If you don't follow feeders, he is the US driver that Williams signed for their Academy during USGP weekend.
EDIT:
Well damn now Doohan is driving this weekend as well. Runner up for the F3 title. Can't miss weekend for F2, plus that title is still up for grabs.
Simply one of the best written and most perceptive pieces ever, on @LewisHamilton and, to an extent, #F1. https://t.co/Q6WjuzSRNp

holy cow...that article. It's like they held a writing contest for Hamilton fan boys...
I 'suspect most objective' observers think they've both been competitive, a little '*****ly', and it's given the fans a great season.
Edit: 'p-rickly' is the word being edited
*barf*Quote:
And for a fraction of a second, as his eyes drifted into the middle distance of that recollection, Hamilton was no longer the multimillionaire driver. He was no longer the maestro surrounded by the most sophisticated engineering team in F1. Instead, he was the kid from the council estate in Stevenage, the youngster who had faced serial racial abuse, the boy with no money in his bank account but a father possessed of all the hope and love in the world. It was a beautiful and revelatory moment.
ya think?Quote:
Given Hamilton's nationality, perhaps I am instinctively on the side of Mercedes
unwillingness to check Hamilton?..who was furiously trying to reverse and get back on the track? What about Hamilton running around with the flag and overly-celebrating his win, while Max was in the hospital after getting put into the wall? Multiple drivers commented about that. *****liness of Horner? As if Toto hasn't been complaining?...his interview with Brundle a couple weeks ago was a little '*****ly' I'd say.Quote:
I suspect that most objective observers would acknowledge that he and Wolff have acted with greater class than their counterparts of Horner and Verstappen. It is not just the latter's driving that has crossed boundaries, but his behaviour too: his unwillingness to check on the condition of Hamilton after the crash in Italy, his breach of the rules by touching the Mercedes car in Brazil, his hypocrisy in complaining about Hamilton's "dangerous move" at Silverstone. The *****liness of Horner, who is clearly feeling the pressure, has reached epidemic proportions. The ambition to win is admirable, but there is surely something to be said about the manner in which it is done.

Merc only come off as professional when they are winning and everything is going their way. During the middle of the year when they were lagging behind all you heard from them was whining, passive aggressive remarks about RB cheating, and Hamilton not taking ownership for any of his shortcomings.
I just wish the races would be close. Last race was a snoozer due to Max's penalty. The week before that was cool for a bit. RB is getting shafted on the 'luck' right now, Lewis got the pace car two weeks ago to help out.. max is not getting the return favor.
Ready for an action-packed weekend to help fill the void of no Aggie Football. It looks like all sessions will happen during American waking hours so we will be able to watch everything.
Lots of storylines and possibilities over this and next weekend!

A little fun with Carlos Sainz ...

Would have liked to seen the reveal of Sainz at the end.
Same. And no sped up footage. I wanted to see him reel in the leaders.
That was a straight up bully pass for the lead. Love it

That was fun to watch, thanks for posting.
I was at K1 Speed last week with my boys, and my wife said...'you were pretending you were an F1 driver weren't you?'

My wife asks that question anytime she rides with me.
my brother in law's bachelor party involved a group party at K1. There were 3 "qualifying" sessions and then a full on race with podium ceremony. Really fun way to kick off the day. My first place trophy now lives on the guest bedroom night stand for when they come to visit.AgGrad99 said:

Is Mercedes supposed to have the advantage this week? Looks like a long/straightish track, which I'd think would help them.
Watching practice now. This track is sweet. Good add. Quatar was boring. We've been over due for a 'tight track' like Singapore.
LeClerc just bit it hard at Turn 22. Thank God he is okay though.
30ft deep of soft barriers is a life saver

I think it's pretty clear Merc have had the advantage from Brazil until the end of the season. Of course anything is possible but Red Bull are really on the back foot right now

0.4 ish faster in P1.. not that means anything, but early indicator
~0.2 ish faster in P2
I've only watched some of the videos from today's practice but this looks like a really tight track for a purpose built circuit. It is purpose built isn't it?
I thought it was a street circuit. But haven't watched anything from today's practices.
They said portions are streets and portions were created specifically for the circuit. So, its a mix of both.cap-n-jack said:

0.2 faster can be made up on a circuit this long. Tomorrow will be fun to watch.
Need everyone to keep it off the barriers though. Seems a high risk high reward track.
