Wonderful indeed to see Mercedes on the Podium (x 2) and an incredible race from both... Pity the Dire Dutchman also gained a Podium and points (Ho Hum :roll: :wink: ).

Would be interesting to see/hear opinions from "parhandy" and yourself regarding the Madrid or "MADring" circuit... Oh, and best places to get a Self Catering place there next year!! :thumb:
It makes you (well me anyway) wonder what LH would be doing if he’d stayed with Mercedes?

It's that time again - Round 11 and to the "Red Bull Ring" and the Austrian GP. Short, fast and demanding with 3 DRS Zones, it's historically been a very good hunting ground for Crashappen. Dry weather and high track temperatures expected for the Race Weekend.

It’s a bit difficult to sound intelligent about the Madring (or anything else…) because it still hasn’t been totally finalised, but from what we’ve all see so far, it could be truly good. Let’s hope it is. The downside of it is that it is based on the IFEMA exhibition centre, which is a hugely boring lump of concrete in a hugely boring suburb of Madrid (think NEC Birmingham, or IMPACT Arena in Bangkok), but of course that shouldn’t have any bearing on the race. There are some banked corners and other interesting bits and pieces, so it does have a lot of potential. We shall just have to wait and see. Will we be there? I very much doubt it. F1 in Bangkok in ’28? See you there!

P.

P.S. Self-catering place there? Come and stay with us. Only problem is the 600 kms commute to the race…
