Well, I think I'm allowed to talk about it now...
Last year I worked on 28 Years Later.
I worked alongside Anthony Dodd Mantle, who also did Rush.
He told me Niki Lauda was exactly as straight talking as you saw him in interviews and took him on a hot lap, scaring the shit out of him

Active aero on F1 cars is so stupid. An expensive and needlessly complicated addition to an already expensive and complicated rule set.
The regs should have been abandoned as soon as they realised they needed extreme drag reduction to combat the awful engines

Unless Doriane's F1 Academy winnings can get her a seat with potential then I'd have to say it's been a mistake to try single seaters.
Two more years of GT3 and/or LMP2 would be a much better set up for a long term motorsports career

Portimao is back!
Terrible track for modern F1.
All tracks are.
The cars are too big.
Cancel the season.
Instead of racing let's romanticise an era where the qualifying field spread was 20 hours between P4 and P5

The Dane has signed with Ferrari. Not the complete misery of a prison sentence it is to join their senior team
Is no one picking up Larsen for 2026? Thoroughly disappointing. She's been fire in F1A 2025.

20 past midnight. Marc Surer.
82 starts. 5 teams. 17 career points. Married 2 playboy models.
Broke his legs twice in F1, again in rally and AGAIN in a horse riding accident about a decade ago.
Enjoy those facts.

My brains so full of F1 driver names it's so silly. Half 1 in the morning right now. Can't sleep. Suddenly into my head pops: Philippe Alliot.
Started 109 GP. Drove for four teams including McLaren. Won 7 career points. Competed at Le Mans 10 times and came 3rd on three occasions. Enjoy those facts

Yuki did make seventeen million thousand moves so the penalty does make sense.
However it is weird Norris didn't get in trouble also

That's the best possible result for Norris. No danger of being wiped out by an out of control Verstappen at T1.
Let him go ahead and do whatever he's gonna do, all Lando needs to do is stay sensible
