Dunno wether it's true, but someone on tw@tter speculated that street races have less FIA input or some such. Benefitting Liberty immensely as they can punt off proper races and go full WWE. No doubt a tin foil opinion, but still...

Merc just put out a statement saying they are in "active legal exchange" with the FIA and won't talk about this weeks events any more. Whoops. Defamation of character lawsuit perhaps?

I recognize so much footage from this from Damon Hill's wacky races and Jeremy Clarksons Motorsport Mayhem & More Motorsport Mayhem VHS releases

Continuing my 09 season rewatch with round 6 in Monaco.

I can see why they made a documentary about Brawn as they've been practically untouchable so far.
Button is really impressive. His whole career slotted nicely into my gap away from following F1 so while I do remember his first race I had no idea how good he was at his peak.
Definitely got a new found respect for him after this.

But this Monaco GP was good for a few reasons...

I'm watching the BBC coverage, so straight off the bat you've got Fleetwood Mac, which will always be THE F1 theme for me. Great tune.
Then they showed a nasty crash in the GP2 race, where a car flew right over another into a barrier. The driver got out and walked away.
It was a young Romain Grosjean, showing that he's always had a knack for finding the wall. :lol:

Brundles grid walk was decent as well. Best bit was him sticking his mic in a random woman face and asking her why she was there. She looked so confused. :lol:

The race itself was good. Massa really harrassing Vettel early in the race before cutting the chicane out of the tunnel. He not only failed to pass him but lost a place to Rosberg who just sailed past him. :lol: :lol: Never really liked Massa.
Hamilton continues having a poor follow-up to his first Championship. Mix that with the issues Mclaren had this year and it's not looking like one of his best years.

Then at the end Button takes the win again, but takes the car into Park Fermé then has to run down the main straight to get to the podium. :lol:


Having fun with this season so far. :wub:

EDIT: Young Ted Kravitz as well. :lol:

https://www.racefans.net/2023/12/12/f2- ... r-f1-miss/ seeing as Pourchaire is having to go to Super Formula in order to keep Racing really highlights the current stagnation of tue driver Market opportunities for drivers to come through the feeder system and actually get a season racing at the pinnacle of single seaters

The former Alfa Romeo Formula 1 outfit will run as Stake F1 Team Kick Sauber for the next two seasons, with Kick Sauber as the chassis name.

Also, not sure if anyone else is getting it, but the special Autosport F1 2023 season review issue is out this week.

I really do wish they could have a season where the drivers are switched cars every race so they have to drive for every team.
Won't ever happen though.
