I agree with him. frick Red Bull, who is incidentally the only team to go over the cost cap so far. Cheating should never be rewarded.

Personnel told to evacuate the circuit at Imola due to risk of flooding. Fingers crossed it proves only precautionary and everyone is given the all-clear to resume prep at some stage, but safety has to come first #F1


ETA - crappy pic from the area of the track that was posted in the replies to the tweet above.

Not saying I agree with it, but they are saying they will be producing and shipping fewer tyres. They didn't specify, but I assume it will be a couple fewer sets of softs.

I'm sure Lewis shared this sentiment in 2014-2021 when Mercedes was dominating.

He did

quote:

“I was a teenage kid, I would have woken up, had my bacon sarnie (sandwich) and probably watched the start and gone to sleep and then woke up to watch the end. If I was watching today I would do the same, most likely and watch the highlights because it’s much shorter, unless a friend told me there was a super exciting race on TV so that you watch the whole thing.

“Ultimately, this is not what fans (want)… and I hope that people need to hopefully understand that this isn’t our fault. At the end of the day we’re drivers, we’ve come through all the ranks, we’ve earned the positions that we have and we come in weekend in, weekend out, devoted and give absolutely everything to go out there and perform at our best.

“Ultimately the decision makers who design the cars, who set rules and those kind of things, are the ones that you could apply pressure to to ultimately do a better job moving forwards, if that’s possible. I’m hopeful that’s what they’re going to do in 2022 and with that new-type car, maybe we’ll see a different form of racing where you can follow. Wouldn’t that be something if we can follow closer and have more close races?”




Drivers a keenly aware of how non-competitive racing is bad for the sport.

The race is not looking likely. Supposed to be an announcement around 9:00 central time.

I doubt it is rescheduled. Triple header weekends followed by trip to Canada.

It's a Euro race so there is a better chance I guess.

I've already planned tennis and yard work around the GP this weekend. Now everything is chaos. I'm suing the FIA

Just landed in Munich to catch my connect to Venice. Had a full weekend pass. Guess I’ll have to drown my sorrow with wine and pasta.

It sucks but looks like the right call to cancel the race with all the flooding. I know that the races are a huge deal with all of the infrastructure involved, but part of me wonders why they can't move over to Monza this weekend and still have a race

Mugello is right there, but I think the problem is more resources and infrastructure in Italy are stretched thin.

Monza isn't far from Imola. They're suffering from basically the same weather.
