Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Esterhase: yy I attended a test there in 2005. It was still very much brick outhouses and bacon buttys (look it up  ), totally unglamorous. That's what most British circuits were like, a track, some grandstands, portakabins (temporary buildings) and sheds. It's kind of cool; squint and you could be back in 1968. Bernie hated it (always did), so in 2008 they did the thing. Yeah the "club" was just a big tent with food trucks. It was nice though! We parked in a farmer's field and I stepped in a cow paddy and had to dodge a bunch of others.

GA pricing seems a bit high compared to some other races, but Silverstone also appears to be very GA friendly.
There's GA access pretty much around the entire perimeter of the track, so it's probably a good value in practice. I'm sure you need to get there damn early though, to stake out a good spot to setup your camp chairs ... |

That’s the week-to-week narrative to keep the fans engaged. This is a special “Rule Britannia” narrative that asks fans to not consider last years record attendance during a historic domination by a very non-British team. |

F1 eventually ditching hybrids?
Formula 1 CEO Stefano Domenicali believes the series’ new engine regulations for 2026 could be the last which require hybrid power units. The new rules, which were agreed two years ago, will rely more heavily on electrical power than before. But Domenicali believes the arrival of ‘sustainable’ fuels in 2026 will allow F1 to do away with hybrids and shift back to using conventional combustion engines in the future. “My personal opinion is that it would be sufficient to use climate-neutral fuel,” he told Auto Motor und Sport. “However, we had to take the manufacturers’ wishes into account. https://www.racefans.net/2024/06/19/formula-1-could-scrap-hybrids-in-next-rules-change-after-2026-domenicali/ |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Cypher214: For the love of all that's holy, go back to naturally aspirated V10's. The entire fandom would rejoice. It's glorious. Kind of how they do it now in sports cars, where there is no prescribed engine formula, just a maximum power output. Would love to see F1 do something similar, and take the leash off the most highly paid and innovative engine designers in the world. If they just said, "OK, you're limited to a maximum of 900 HP at the crank. We don't care how you get there, but we'll be actively monitoring the output. Go." |

I’m curious why a Swiss court has jurisdiction, though. Unless it’s specifically written in the contract that this is where disputes are heard. Undoubtedly the case. Both parties agree how and where disputes will be heard. To be absolutely fair, while it is within Haas’ contractual rights to terminate the relationship, I’m surprised that they thought they could keep the money ($13 million). They dumped both Mazipin and Uralkali before the season started. |

The overhaul let me step up one of my constructor selections from Haas to Alpine. Haas doesn't look very good and Alpine was rolling today. |

He was faster in fp3 and just made a small mistake in t3 that costed him .200 but I think he will finish qual ahead of Carlos. Also in fp1 and fp2 he was still using old spec parts while Carlos had all the new ones for comparative testings |
