2022 Formula 1 Season Paddock

That would be a dream!

I was lucky to do something similar at the '89 US F1 GP.
I even got to say "Hi" to Ayrton Senna as he walked right by me while I was in pit lane.

Cheers

I have to get these digitized.

I thought the papaya boys had a tough weekend, but then I remembered they finished the race.

 

I went there in 2007 for an F1 race. It was insanely amazing. Clean, beautiful ride in my VW Polo diesel through the Eifel mountains. I watched my F1 favorite Michael Schumacher drive his Ferrari V8 and it would scream and echo around there. Just an amazing experience.

 

Quite the race! Ferrari is for real, no question. The battle between VER and LEC was epic! KMag showed the true potential of the new Haas, which was great too. I'll be interested to see if his presence causes Mick to pick up his game. Ferrari PU was clearly the class of the field as well. I feel especially bad about McLaren because they had been making such great strides over the past year or so. Fingers crossed that they can get it turned around soon.

 

Sounds like fuel pump failures for both Red Bulls

 

Max was complaining of power steering issues too. is that electro hydraulic or run off the engine mechanically?

 

Nice, you did the Nordschleife in a Polo? I learnt to drive in one. I’d be happy doing a lap around there in just about anything… I would probably end up in one of those videos on YouTube

 

The quote I heard was they dropped it harshly from the jack and damaged a tie rod.

 

lol, no, I drove to Nurburg in the Polo. Not around the track.

 

Was not the answer I was expecting. Pump failures on both within a few laps of each other? Interesting.

 

Lol, still jealous either way…V8’s

 

That’s why you shouldn’t run your fuel tank near empty, fuel pump overheats

 

It was glorious!

 

I was going to make a comment on the use of Civic fuel pumps, but didn't,,, until now.

 

got to use whatever’s on the shelf with these supply chain issues…..even if that means getting the duralast at Autozone

 

What was Vasseur's salty comment in the post race? I did not quite hear it but is looked like it was humorous.

 

Denso's?

 

“Haas now sit third in the constructors’ championship with 10 points, which is more than they have scored in the last two seasons combined. It’s also only the fifth time that a Haas has finished inside the top five in their history.”

So happy for Gunther and Gene and hope Haas are able to get back up into the top 5.
