No surprise there

Looks like they're trying to shake things up a bit, three races this season will include a sprint race.

Tsunodas still making a right old hash of things .....

What did people think of the sprint race? I thought it was a bit of a non-event personally.
Now whether it will be better with the 2022 cars... there's a question....

I was a bit nonplussed tbh, but that's often the case

Wasn't too bad - I suspect that is about as good as it will get. Too much at risk in terms of damage and engine wear for the main race.

I suspect there will be some boring ones at times - we shall see

Pretty pointless tbh but if it makes more money it'll stay , if it loses money it'll stay until there is a change of personnel near the top .

But hey change is proof that someone is working whether the outcome is good or bad.

I quite enjoyed it, but it was too long. After the first 10 laps or so, things just settled down. Needs to be shorter to put the pressure on the drivers.

I reckon there might b a few changes made before his 'tour' takes place

could be quite funny - if he actually goes!

I'd be surprised if the tour shows anything more than you couldn't pick up online or at a race anyway. A few years ago I went around the Williams F1 factory and whilst for an enthusiast it is very interesting, they don't give anything away.

A nice move by Horner, as it goes to charity.
They have the neighbouring pit at every race.
they could learn far more just by looking in the pit door.

 

[ebikeerwidnes]

Nice donation to charity and a good opportunity for some jokes - which might repair some of the bad blood from last year



as said before - they will get more from a glance through the pit door or a good look at the cameras on the cars when following or being followed by the other team
