... Do they still sell post cards?


With the way HAAS handles their budget, all personnel probably stay in a single room hotel 40 miles away from the track and anything interesting.

Yes, but most of them are old stock left from the 50s and 60s I think.

Why has Ferrari stock gone up 7 billion in the last day...

Im trying to watch the IMSA series, WEC and WRC. The Daytona 24hr was nuts.

Yes, yes it was. The announcers shiting on Forza was funny AF.
So was the iRacing lobby my friends were in. Even with all the fuckup do to netcode they finished on the lead lap in 6th for their class.

Id say Mick Schumi as he is very close with Totto. Maybe competing at the WEC this year will help with seat time.

Would be funny if Alonso went to Mercedes though.

I do and I don’t. I really like what he had been doing with Williams, and having a driver like him I think, will be key to their future development of their program. But he does deserve a seat at a big team.

Mick seems to always be at the top of the list. The list of present day drivers that could fill it is getting long. As much as I like Mick a lot as a person, being the son of a great driver and available immediately for Merc Im divided if he would be reliable to bring out the full cars potential all season long.

HaHa, the tought did occur:bellyroll:

Wonder if it was also part of Lewis moving plan to get his personal assistant Angela back at his side that was announced / rumoured back in the first week of January?

I find he matured a lot this year with Williams and proved to be consistant and Good friend with George as well.

What... no comments on F1 saying NO to Andretti?

Well, that would be the reason I'm probably not watching any F1 until at least 2028.

Remember what happened the last time two friends drove with Mercedes :popcorn:

FIA would have been better off not releasing a reason why they didn’t accept Andretti. What a joke and a lie

The FIA said yes. Liberty Media said no. Which really means that behind the scenes the teams themselves raised hell and said no. Also, FYI, Liberty Media is American owned.

So this is all BS.

And I am going to find another series to watch, indefinitely...

And this isn't just sour grapes about an American team being denied entry. It's a combination of F1 bending over US consumers (F1 races in the US are crazy expensive compared to the rest of the world) while trying to entice Americans at the same time. Add in the LAUGHABLE competition in the series beyond the top 3 teams and let's not forget to that 3-4 teams more or less exist only to develop drivers for 3-4 other teams and you're left with a crap series. To deny a very legitimate team/offer to make everything better, with such a weak excuse, is infuriating.

Not sure which though. Love WEC but it's so difficult to watch (due to length of races). Maybe IMSA

What is the deal with the allegations against Christen Horner? I had seen some articles that the team is investigating them but nothing else on what happened. Weird.

Other than inappropriate behavior, there really isn't much. When I first read about it I thought It was one of those troll pages that somehow are showing up more and more on my social media feed.





Side note, I absolutely hate the sprint races and this new format blows. Friday practice, sprint quali. Sprint on Saturday and then quali after that. Utter nonsense.

The Red One 02-07-2024 10:03 AM

Kind of baffled as well as to what the “allegations” are.
If it would be serious would the police be involved for criminal charges.

It just may turn out to be a worker that does not like the way he aggressively manages their workload … as some rumours suggests.

Stay tuned for Fridays RB inquisition on the matter.

WolfpackS2k 02-07-2024 10:12 AM

That's my guess
