Let's face it not many like the frumpy Georgina, I worked with a few of them when I was in the City, a right bunch of back stabbers.

My opinion the kid paid his dues driving sh*t Williams for years.

I agree about George at Williams, all most all young drivers have to go through that but then there is Kimi Antonelli?
I don't see the George hate but when you drive for Toto Wolfe, some of that evil, Gestapo SS, smug automaton vibe rubs off on you.

If you're fully satisfied with your view then we're all very happy for you.

Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured.

It's good to see Ferrari a sort of in the mix, nice for Hamilton he can compete this year so far. Too bad RBR didn't get their car on point these first races. If they are getting things sorted, it would make things more interesting. At least for the positions behind the Mercs. They are gone and will be champions with ease.

For all the driver bashing, it's unnecessary. You can't really define their talent based only on the rankings in a certain season. The cars they have is such a big factor and even more with the new regulations. You can only compare the two within the same team. As for Verstappen specifically, you can say whatever you want about him, but he always speaks his mind and criticizes, wheter he wins or loses. Most only do that when they are losing.

And for the new regulations, I can see why people are enthousiastic, but it's just not for me I suppose.

Where did you get the F40? I have been looking for one to build. I have about 6 lego sports cars that I have built over the past 3 months.

It’s over 10 years old and probably retired.

Damn! I will look on Ebay to see if there are any remaining ones. Update...Amazon has it for $27 and I just ordered it!

I did see Charles lego helmet you can buy and build. I don't think it releases until May.


On another side note. I can't stand to watch F1 now. I hate the new regulations and I tried to give it a shot. Cars sound like garbage and it's not real racing at all. Just my two cents.

The vibrations are coming from the Japanese Honda PU.
These vibrations are destroying the Aston batteries.

The vibrations are conducted through the Aston floor and steering wheel,the sensory nerves from hands and feet of the Aston drivers become numb (!)
It gives a feeling like an injection from the dentist...

I heard Newey and the Japanese PU engineers are no longer friends (!)

In that case thank goodness the Honda is not on the RB22 sorry about that Mr Newey

MAX is a 4-time World F1 Champion and he left everyone in the dust at the Nürburgring - Nordschleife in a Ferrari.
MAX has the best driver skills ever seen in the F1 history beating LEW in his Mercedes spaceship(!)
The only truth is that MAX and Hadjar are forced to drive backwards in a RB22 wheelchair built by a French idiot.
The Red Bull Team team is drowning in the RB22 issues and both Red Bull drivers are just passengers in those 2026 electric wheelchairs .

Not only that, but Max is the only driver on the grid that dares to speak his mind and doesn't let himself get silenced by the FIA's/F1 group agenda.
Remember Vegas 2023 with that freak sewerlid incident Sainz had for which he even got a penalty!
Max was the only one that dared to speak in the media how ridiculous that was. All other drivers and teams were urged not to say any bad words about the Vegas GP because it was F1's pinnacle for maximize profit.
Same goes for the situation that paid(!!!) spectators were denied entrance to their seats on the stand. I don't know how expensive Vegas F1 tickets were, but those fans got like a $200 voucher for the official giftshop there for missing out. (you probably can't even get a T-shirt for that as prices are ridiculous...)
Again, ONLY Max dared to say something in the media about that (he couldn't believe his ears and would've destroyed the place if that was him).
No one else in the paddock said anything in fear of the FIA/F1 group.
And apparently members here also don't like to hear this. Says a lot about such persons.

I for one rather like to see the drivers speak their minds (which Max only does, even Martin Brundle likes that about him) instead of being a good MBS/Domenicali puppet....But I was raised with the notion that openness and honesty are good virtues. Maybe that's different on where one lives.

Meanwhile, Leclerc said he enjoyed his race.

Good article today from The Telegraph
I'll post it from Yahoo to avoid the pay wall

Any one thinking this is just sour grapes from Verstappen fails to understand his love of the sport.

A quick look at "X" will tell you the "folks" are not impressed with the direction of Formula One and it more that just the 50/50 thing.

Well , Suzuka will S@CK even more for us with the high speed corners.
Too bad for us . Because that gives even more advantage for the Benz-Team and Ferrari.
The smaller Ferrari turbo will still be unbeatable at the Suzuka startgrid.

On the other hand :
As we know Bahrain and Saudi Arabia are canceled by the war madness (!)

#ExtraTime (!)

That's 1 month without races and that can give the Red Bull Team more time to fix the reversing electric RB22 wheelchair.
And even then, with this extra time to find a solution, it will remain very difficult to find a solution for this multi-major problem.

SMH (shake my head)!
