I wish the Dutch GP wasn’t the first track after the summer break. Such a dull affair. Been waiting for a month for some racing only for the boring track to welcome us back.

Last year's race was pretty good
Pretty much every race with rain is good. I'm surprised Liberty Media haven't thought of implementing giant sprinklers at every track.

Speaking of liberty, anyone know why they stopped broadcasting those driver meetings? Watching who drivers sat next to, who asked questions, who giggled like a kid in high school was entertaining stuff. Better than most of the DTS series. Vettel and Hamilton throwing jabs at one another was great.

33 minutes and I stopped watching when he started talking to his dog.
Can you give us a recap?
Basically the timeline that Windsor uses as his proof doesn't line up with the evidence of when the wording of the rule was changed, and that Tommo thinks even if it is true that it would be more like Mercedes with DAS or Aston Martin's rear wing last year than it would be like Ferrari's 2019 fuel flow in the spectrum from loophole to cheating

Separately, I find it hard to believe that a small sprung weight with no further mechanical control like Scarborough is apparently suggesting would be able to withstand the pressure of hydraulic breaks

Basically f1 has changed the rules for axles because a certain team not named but very heavily implied went around the rules cough redbull cough. And coincidentally there form drop off coincided with the rule changes.

Danny ric has turned down audi apparently.
Well, there's only one seat, to be decided between him & Checo - and they opted not to bounce Checo out during the summer break because they didn't see Ricciardo as an improvement.

Danny may well have signed his own retirement papers with this move (or deliberate lack of move).

Pretty much. Find out next month. That's when they have to decide on Lawson.

If the rumours regarding Checo are to be believed, Red Bull had Ricciardo back in that seat already.

I don't expect any announcement regarding Red Bull's driver lineup for 2025 to be confirmed until the week of Mexico (favourable to Perez) or the week of Las Vegas (favourable to Ricciardo).

Mercedes have concluded their investigation into why Russell's car was underweight at Spa. They've put it down to a combination of 3 factors:
  • Underfloor plank wearing more than usual.
  • Extra lost tyre/rubber mass, due to running longer than planned on the hard tyres.
  • Russell himself being underweight.
The first 2 are factors which the team should have planned for pre-race. They only have themselves to blame here.

The 3rd is an interesting one. Apparently Russell knew that he was underweight going into the race, but by the time he realised it was too late to munch down a steak, to get himself back up to scratch. It's an unusual one.

Doohan confirmed.

Will it be the first time in F1 history we have 3 Aussies on the grid at the same time? Assuming Danny Ric survives?
