With their neighbor Zandvoort bowing out after 2026, Belgium is sticking around.

Would love to see Germany fill out the gap years! I keep hearing about Africa, and admittedly, I'm not well versed on that continent and the countries inside, but I don't see the draw. Maybe South Africa, but mentioning Rwanda........ I guess things have really turned around since 1994 (as I said, haven't really kept up).

 

F1 has changed a lot in my lifetime. Some for the better, some much worse, but there is no denying it is now a much safer sport. Watch this absolute shit show of a start at the 1981 Belgian Grand Prix.

 

Alpine hires Colipinto further pressuring Doohan.

Krack moved out of team principle role at Aston

 

Wow. I actually remember that. Nasty. Watching it now. Stomach turned. The odd thing, even back in the 1970's we used used to think that F1 had their collective shit together.

 

Pretty cool behind the scenes footage from Senna.

We grew up in the era when fire and fatalities were just a normal part of motorsports.

It sounds like Rwanda is further along in planning, but I'd still lean towards SA getting the selection.

 

It begins!

 

Pretty excited!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks, but feeling teased!!!

 

Love to see it

Points deductions.... I wonder if there will also be a bar of soap, for offenders?

 

MBS is on an odd tangent consolidating control but up for election next year. He really is wanting to be like Bernie.

 

I'm not sure that's enforceable in the US, especially the FIA criticism stuff, which is childish and doesn't belong in a sporting rule book. Might be time for a GPDA flex.

 

Hopefully whoever it was had permission to be driving…

super-rich people problems

 

Sometimes high value cars appreciate after high publicity crashes

And when they don't, the people who own them likely don't notice the repair bill in their budget
