DR F1 The British media is so anti-Daniel they will think of any one else but Daniel as the next driver. Fact 1 - Sergio has not lived up to his contract and more than 140!points away from Verstappen. Fact 2 - Liam is not going to be put straight into RB team. He is too inexperienced. He was miles behind Max’s benchmark, Daniel matched them. Fact 3 - Sergio generates $30m of sponsorship and another $10m+ of merch sales. If Sergio goes they need to find a $30m solution to cover that gap and it can not come from Oliver Minzlaff because he is busy buying football teams in the U.S. and Europe Fact 4 - Max needs and wants a car with oversteer bias, he learnt that set up from Daniel Ricciardo Fact 5 - DR3 is the best driver around to give feedback to engineers about car set ups and optimising upgrade packages. Liam does not have this experience. The only person that will be chosen for the last 6m of this year is Daniel Ricciardo. He has the commercial pull, valued by sponsors (eg Visa) and a large US profile.
I watched the ELMS because Brett made a big deal about the end of it. The Iron Dames Porsche was on tyres that already done a stint and the Aston Martin was on new tyres, yet the Porsche was accelerating away? Idk, there's something suss for me. But it's only the 3rd division of ELMS, so it doesn't matter.
Norris took the outside line. He didn't hit the back of Verstappen or turn in on him. Verstappen had to turn right, being the direction the corner was going. Windosr is inventing scenarios in his head.
They were both pushing the rules with track limits and late braking... Lando was complaining about Max but still sent it up outside and Max was heading left in that section of track...
maybe you people need to look at and accept the existence of drifting at Calder Park that in reality is the thing keeping it afloat your a motorsport show cover all motorsport
Great show sorry I missed it live. The penkse thing the push to pass was used in first practice only. They only found out later it was used by accident, the thing was when race controll loaded full software up which included this push to pass and who used it that's when they found it. Was mentioned on the kenny Wallace with coffee show
"Tony Cochrane said..." **** Tony Cochrane. The guy's a ********. The guy either instilled or is a product of a pretentious culture at the "professional" end of Australian motorsport. Imagine complaining about Phillip Island when motogp and wsbk go there? They've got no corporates, hey? Imagine a being serious car racing series not going there because of cost? TCR go there, pre-TCR shannons nationals went there, 3 state rounds, but supercars won't? fmd.
Thanks 'In Pit Lane' for sharing this historic video! I remember being part of the Vehicle Recovery Team at this event. We were located on the infield section as the cars turned right before turning left to head back onto the original back straight section. They then headed over the rise and plunged into the 'Sesses". Art one stage a Lola came limping around the bend and expired just in front of us. Nearby flag marshalls waved yellow flags to warn the drivers who slowed down (only a bit!) while we were told to wait for a break in traffic, swarm over the armco fencing and push the car to a safer place. At that time no pace cars were sent out, it was up to us to keep ourselves safe!!!! I still remember the works Porsches racing past us, something which , looking back, was quite dangerous. It was certainly exciting!!! We pushed the car off the track and leapt back over the fence... well, most of us did! I was stranded trackside on the fence while mates tried to drag me over the fence! At the time we thought it all very exciting! Watching a replay of the race on my VCR (now long worn out), I recall Bob Constanduros ('the voice' of the WEC races), applauding how dangerous the situation was and how brave the trackside marshalls (me included) were to rescue the driver and his car, under direction of race control, while the television showed the last marshall attempting to climb back over the fence (yes, that was me!). Forty years later, I still recall that particular event to be one of the best I enjoyed as part of the LCCA's trackside Vehicle Recovery Team at Sandown! 😃👍... and the Porsche 956 is still my favourite sportscar!
I wonder how mick hone is doing, not many people talk about, he must have gone through hell with guilt because he was the navigator, I hope he’s doing ok these days.
