Copse is great. If you are parked over near Becketts then that isn't the main car parks, which are in the area between Abbey and Luffield where they changed the circuit. Always take as much of a walk around as you can, there is loads to see.

Beer was actually not as hideously expensive as I feared. Food was maybe a quid more than you would pay at the football, and there are some good stalls and selections.

The thing that kills you is if you want to buy the official team Merch. Buy a Mercedes Polo shirt with all the correct Sponsorships on it so you look like a slightly less Germanic Toto Wolff and you are looking at the GDP of a small country. I bought an Ayrton Senna baseball cap as the skin on my receding hairline was burning and it was pushing thirty quid. Get Lewis 44 on your chosen headwear and you can probably double that. For a CAP.

Rich Energy are a fake company. It's an energy drink that doesn't exist. Some kind of money laundering scam, almost certainly.

I can't say I've ever heard of them or seen their name on any cars.

Au contraire you cynics...

Vettel being Vettel, fucking knob

Easy for Lewis.

Easy for Lewis.

Great drive and takes the fastest lap on the final lap!

 

[Tredman]

That was bloody amazing.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

It's a truly amazing experience isn't it

Ferrari are getting to close to putting Young Charles 1st. They would have messed his race up today with yet another shit strategy call but once again Seb cracks when being pressured.

This is a good read on the developments for 2021.

F1 has been going to get better the season after next for about the last 15 years. Never seems to happen, though, does it?

That's because the teams keep throwing their toys out of the pram and stopping any real changes.

There are a few rumours abound that Ocon might be replacing Grosjean as soon as the next GP, with Steiner absolutely livid with the current pairing after their recent antics. Not a happy camp.

Good. I can't think of one race Grosjean had added anything to except debris.

He's a very talented driver at his best, but you cannot get away with performances like he's had so far this season and the first half of last year, in what was a very good car. Magnussen should go too, he's an absolute cock.

 

[Tredman]

I saw his pit lane crash from the stand opposite on Saturday. Very embarrassing stuff.

Just like his crash under the safety car in Baku last season.

3 years ago he was tipped to be a Ferrari driver. Gone well as that

 

[Carrotdude]

He was awful for at least the first half of last season too. Saved himself with a few good races towards the end, Haas are a bit of a mess atm.
