Didn't F1 get an exemption for that?

Yeah forgot about that. Probably doesn't matter as things will probably get worse in the region meaning no GP any way.

perhaps they could skip Spain and spare us from an appaling race

Looking forward to some of the new tracks. Interesting to see how drivers will do on tracks they maybe never raced on in real life.

Wasn't the dry/wet 1991 race with the legendary Mansell/Senna side by side duel down the straight later in the year too?

Clutching at straws tbh

Silverstone has offered to run 12 races this year, so surely one of them HAS to be wet right?

Our luck they'd be all dry

Or all races end just before the rain comes

that's the problem. Rain this season mean red flag and SC start until it gets suited for inters/dry or a full Hamilton walkover as he's the best wet weather in the best car so is a sunday drive and 35 seconds gap to 2nd place finish

Something I didn't realise, apparently marshals at GPs so far have not been subject to/eligible for covid tests. Pretty shitty when most of them are doing it on a volunteer basis, and how potentially hands on they need to be with drivers in a crash. Interested to hear @

I actually thought he was Stoegi but then I realised he hasn't been banned.

I heard David Addison explaining on the Formula Renault stream from Monza that we can expect more SC periods and no VSC's atm because there are considerably less marshals allowed at circuits, so maybe this has something to do with it when each marshal post only has 2/3 people who can social distance rather than the 5/6 people per post as usual. Also maybe they're taught how to social distance while recovering, one at each end of the car etc

Not sure that's much of an excuse though, just what I can imagine off the top of my head.
OK we have a lot less people in the oval world but we've managed to scan everyone coming into the race track where I work be they marshal, official, driver, mechanic or whoever else.
Can't be too much of a logistical nightmare for F1, surely?

(Saying that, for Silverstone, F1 just tells the track to sort out the marshals doesn't it, so it might be an expense the marshal body themselves can't afford, as you say, they're all voluntary.

Here is an article published in Dec. of 1972 in Autosport Magazine. It's a long interview with Roger Williamson talking about his F3 success and plans for the future.

Very sad story. After Gerry Birrell's death, he was apparently on course to take the Tyrrell seat alongside Cevert in 1974. I'm sure he'd have gone on to have a long F1 career

That just makes me more angry that he didn't deliberately crash and make sure Manor got the extra 40 Million to survive for another year and who knows what might've happened after that?

Lol they should have resurrected the career of Deletraz to make Marcus look half way decent. He was still shit despite being favored.

But my most favorite sabotage story was definitely Michael Andretti saying that McLaren were deliberately screwing around with his traction control system to make him look shit. Rather than you know....he was just so out of his depth and was flying in and out of America and didn't commit himself.

Yet more evidence of how much of a toxic waste dump F1 now is as a sport, and how no driver should see it as the pinnacle of motorsport or something to aspire to succeed in. At this point succeeding in F1 usually means you've done some pretty underhanded things (off the racetrack) or looked the other way when they happened.

Oh and in regards to Imola. Are they going to use the "new" layout that by passes the old last chicane? If so do they have SAFER barriers on the outside of the corner? as opposed to the solid concrete wall in this classic crash.

There's some really shitty people on this planet.
