Nah that's a VSC
Completely disappointing and pathetic but sports, football and F1 alike, sold its soul ages ago. Sportswashing is the goal, and that goal is fulfilled.Tweet

Well what a colossal waste of time all that was.
.How accurate is the Patriot missile system?
During the 1991 Gulf War, the public was led to believe the that the Patriot had near-perfect performance, intercepting 45 of 47 Scud missiles. The U.S. Army later revised that estimate down to about 50 percent — and even then, it expressed “higher” confidence in only about one-quarter of the cases
Even at the very best 2 got though , just think if one hit the main stand !
I naively thought we were about to see a momentous coming together in sport. Alas, no. Gasly has said all drivers were unanimous in agreeing to race.Completely disappointing and pathetic but sports, football and F1 alike, sold its soul ages ago.

Sad. I will not be watching this Grand Prix.
With all the sports washing and their financial injection, you would have expected sports TV subscriptions to actually go down instead of constantly increasing.Completely disappointing and pathetic but sports, football and F1 alike, sold its soul ages ago.

I bet they think the halo will save them from missiles too.I naively thought we were about to see a momentous coming together in sport. Alas, no. Gasly has said all drivers were unanimous in agreeing to race.
So disheartening. Although it couldn't have been unanimous otherwise what were they deliberating over for 4 hours?I naively thought we were about to see a momentous coming together in sport. Alas, no. Gasly has said all drivers were unanimous in agreeing to race.

Hamilton and Perez and maybe one or two more.Who does everyone think the drivers are who are against?
Hamilton is a given but I don’t know other than that.
well playedI bet they think the halo will save them from missiles too.
BBC are saying a significant amount have safety concerns. Medland is saying extra information was given at the end. No idea what that was.So disheartening. Although it couldn't have been unanimous otherwise what were they deliberating over for 4 hours?
They probably spent the previous 3hrs 55mins debating the Abu Dhabi 2021 race. It was all sparked off by Lewis wearing a white t-shirt with an * (asterisk) printed on it.So disheartening. Although it couldn't have been unanimous otherwise what were they deliberating over for 4 hours?
Lets race... in the wise words of Michael Masi.
Either that or they ordered pizza and decided to watch DTS together and rip into it. Sounds like a fun night actually.They probably spent the previous 3hrs 55mins debating the Abu Dhabi 2021 race. It was all sparked off by Lewis wearing a white t-shirt with an * (asterisk) printed on it.
I think a bunch of Ukrainians with stingers will do the same for less..
Then the Saudis need to procure the Israeli system on the quiet. The alternative, a cheaper one -- give free subscriptions to all those rabble-rousers who shot the missiles.
This or wave the red flag in front of the missile.I suspect their way of guaranteeing safety in the race will be a full scale attack on Yemen 30 mins before race starts.
Can't bomb if you're hiding. The world really is a fecked up place lately.
Stop, stop, we have to retire the missile.This or wave the red flag in front of the missile.
box box missile, box boxStop, stop, we have to retire the missile.
"Part of this information involved the possible consequences of not racing, such as how easily teams and drivers would be able to leave the country if the race did not happen." From the BBC. So basically it was race or you can't leave Saudi Arabia.BBC are saying a significant amount have safety concerns. Medland is saying extra information was given at the end. No idea what that was.
Is it terrorism when Saudi Arabia are bombing the feck out of Yemen? They targeted an oil depot. They shouldn’t be racing there fullstop.
Yeah, in the same breath he says that F1 shouldn't be drawn into things like this and also calls it terrorism (while it's really a 'regular' strategic Houthi counterattack). Nice bit of irony. That's what you get from cozying up to the Saudis.What I find hilarious about this is Horner is speaking of not being bullied by terrorism because of a missle coming from Yemen, while he is sitting in Saudi Arabia.
The absolute irony of this.
I hate this sport sometimes."Part of this information involved the possible consequences of not racing, such as how easily teams and drivers would be able to leave the country if the race did not happen." From the BBC. So basically it was race or you can't leave Saudi Arabia.
Everyone knows the only evil person in F1 is Horner. And St Toto and his holy annointed son Hamilton are purer than pure.What makes you think he’s somehow different?
If that's the case, they'd better never go back!"Part of this information involved the possible consequences of not racing, such as how easily teams and drivers would be able to leave the country if the race did not happen." From the BBC. So basically it was race or you can't leave Saudi Arabia.
Reuters and Bloomberg have it as a drone attack- think pretty much everyone does now.Has it been confirmed that it was a strike and not a fire breaking out at the facility? The guardian and other websites they are still saying it's a fire, saying that Houties are claiming it, and not a missle strike. I suppose the Saudis haven't confirmed it themselves.
No way should the race go ahead. Saudi government are c*nts anywaysReuters and Bloomberg have it as a drone attack- think pretty much everyone does now.
This is madness."Part of this information involved the possible consequences of not racing, such as how easily teams and drivers would be able to leave the country if the race did not happen." From the BBC. So basically it was race or you can't leave Saudi Arabia.
"It's called a motor race Toto....."Lets race... in the wise words of Michael Masi.
What, will they detain 20 drivers? Absolute cnuts for making such threats but nobody would have done shit."Part of this information involved the possible consequences of not racing, such as how easily teams and drivers would be able to leave the country if the race did not happen."
