The fan was wrong and Isaac's reaction was wrong also. He shoved the fan after the incident.

I see Isaac got fined, hopefully the fan got kicked out of the paddock.

Meh, I hate the whole "get a selfie" thing, so I don't care what Hadjar did in response. That's not true. I do care. I'm glad he did it.

Haven’t seen the video or whatever but I’m with you on hating the idea of selfies with celebrities. Hate autographs or anything else like that too.

The fans was aggressive in approaching Isaac and Isaac shoved him as he was walking off. Not a hard shove at all, but the fan was already out of the way

I don’t either. You can ask and if the driver says yes, then take a quick picture. Sometimes they don’t have time to take pictures and that is their right.

Yeh they might have to change some paddock rules after this. You can’t have fans causing fines. He paid a lot to be in that area but it’s not a petting zoo.

Wild things happening in MotoGP. They are supposed to be in Qatar next week to make up a race that was supposed to happen in the spring. The riders are nervous about showing up:

“They got together on their own, with no one from the organization, and asked for something pretty specific: written guarantees, an evacuation plan for the entire paddock, and coverage if they close the airspace, like they already did earlier this year.

Where’s the snag? In who signs off.

The riders want the promoter to take responsibility, and the promoter says that’s up to the Qatar government.

Qatar sent a document committing to respond in an emergency. It wasn’t enough for the riders, and on Friday they got together again on their own in Sepang.

And watch this—in the last few hours it leaked that anyone who doesn’t show up Friday in Doha risks getting sidelined from Portugal and Valencia.

Plus, any fines they slap on the team can get passed on to the rider. Ezpeleta even reminded them that their contracts tie them to their teams.

In other words, a clear threat from the series: Either you race or we sanction you. No beating around the bush.”

From HAAS


TGR Haas F1 Team reserve driver Ryo Hirakawa will replace Esteban Ocon for the remainder of the weekend’s Mexico City Grand Prix.

Ryo participated in FP1 at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez on Friday, his third free practice outing of the season driving the VF-26, finishing 15th overall.

The Japanese driver will partner teammate Ollie Bearman through final practice and qualifying on Saturday and Sunday’s 71-lap grand prix – marking Ryo's Formula 1 race debut.

No further statements will be made at this time.

I can see F1 drivers doing this if the drviers/constructors is already decided.

A lot will be reminded of Saudi and how they were forced into a position they wanted out of.

Imagine spending the whole week in Mexico just for FP2. Have we seen the last of Ocon? He’s always been one of the my least favorites on the grid.

I had to look this guy up.

2017 Super GT500 - Champion
2020 Super Formula - P2 finish
2022 24Hrs Le Mans - Winner with Toyota
2022 and 2023 WEC - Champion

Nice career, but here's the thing. He's 32 years old! That's way too old for an F1 hopeful. Couldn't Toyota have found a younger driver to promote?

Didn't he flip out on his engineer or something in FP2, or am I making that up?

What happened to trigger him losing his seat?

All right, the prediction lists are locked for the Mehican GP.
No!!!!!!!!

This is another reason we need to move til after FP's. Forgot to update. Wasn't even thinking about race weekend until this morning when saw FP1/2 times.

Incoming, Lsut81 complaining again that the lists shouldn't be locked until later in the weekend, even though we're all in the same boat.

I'm open (sorta) to the idea, but the latest I think I'm willing to lock the list is after Day 1 (FP1 / FP2 or FP1 / SQ1). In that case, we still would have missed this odd announcement.

Ocon has a chip on his shoulder. He left Alpine in a similar tizzy. Probably why Toto had such a problem getting Ocon a ride once Merc was done with him.

You can be a prima Donna as long as you are worth it. Alonso shows that. Being an average driver without money and being a problem for the team is a good way to lose your seat.

No doubt and know he wasn't re-signed with Haas, but did something happen between FP2 and last night to trigger him being pulled?

Or was it just a team decision of "frick it, he's out after this year, we want someone different to run and see what they can do"

After the blow up on the radio and what I would assume is him doubling down on being a dick once he got out the car.

Not worth the headache for a team
