I understand the source language so why would I care about what people think about whoever tweeted about it!? Possibly the part about Verstappen is made up, possibly not. I don't see any conclusive proof for either, and given past conduct i'm inclined to believe it.
F1 2023 Season
- Thread starter pauldyson1uk
- Start date
Because the part about Verstappen is made up? And the thread has discussed how ridiculous and toxic F1 social media is, where people work themselves up into a tizzy about fake news?
A microcosm of why this thread mimics F1 twitter.
Monza is on the Milan mainline up to Lecco and Como (and continuing on to Switzerland). Couldn't tell you about Bergamo but in general trains from that side of Milan don't go into the city via Monza.
Really interesting technical article about how the 2023 RedBull works.

Newest Ferrari updates will arrive for imola. More interestingly, new sidepod design will arrive for Barcelona in june. Alledgelly simialr to the current RedBull design.
New Mercedes and Ferrari design cars going into summer break could make latter half of this very long season interesting.

Thanks for the reply. I looked at staying in lecco too but flights goto Bergamo. I’m still looking at options, it may be too much to take on this year. Seems to involve a lot of trains and buses to get to the track
Melbourne weather is a mix this weekend.
FP1 and 2 could be wet along with FP3 , not what the teams want for set up.
Qualifying and the race should be dry

Apparently F1 plans to adapt the schedule for the sprint weekends, and replace the Saturday morning practice with an additional qualifying specifically for the sprint race.
Isola was interviewed by German Sky during FP2, and he said the tyres for Baku are on its way already. So if they want to do this, the 2nd Quali would probably mainly be on used tyres.

Didnt realise Michaal Masi signed a NDA about Abu Dhabi 2021.
"...Masi signed an NDA when he departed his job with the FIA meaning he cannot discuss details of that notorious race in Abu Dhabi, where Hamilton lost out on an all-time record eighth title, and Verstappen’s dominance began.."

This is ruining the sport, stop ffs
I assume that's one of those 3rd party shops rather than official F1 merchandise, if it's the latter then good grief.Formula 1 Is Selling a 'No, Michael, No' Mug and Some Fans Are Outraged.

Trust a Hamiltwit to start hyperventilating over some random gift shop item. Quite a funny one at that, bet they sold out almost immediately.
Really ! You are no better than the posters you moan about, but you think you are
Don't have a problem with it TBH, somebody's has seen a quick money making opportunity.
I dont moan about posters, and I'm just appreciating the nice merch.Really ! You are no better than the posters you moan about, but you think you are

If qualifying is Friday and the race Sunday. What would be the point of a separate qualifying and sprint inbetween that, what would it affect? I don’t get it
Greed. Stupid fecking American greed. Ruined united and now ruining F1. Nowhere is safe.
At least there was a sort of logic to the sprint weekends when the results determined the grid.
They think they'll max out on viewers Friday and Saturday because there will be key events on each day but they're idiots. If the sprint races count for minimal points and dont affect the grand prix order no one will care about them, including the teams.
You'll end up with teams bringing their A games on Friday and Sunday and just coasting through the Saturday to avoid crashes or mechanical problems.

It might still be a month away, but Red Bull team principal Christian Horner's sights are already set on the first sprint race of the year in Azerbaijan at the end of April.
It's the first of six sprint races on this year's calendar, but Horner thinks the choice of Baku to host a Saturday sprint is a big mistake because of the risk of a major accident on a tight and twisty street circuit
“The reality is it's absolutely ludicrous to be doing the first sprint race of the year in a street race like Azerbaijan,” Horner told the media in Melbourne on Friday.
I actually agree with him, some parts of the track are really tight.

This moves it towards what the sprint race should be to be fair. It should be an independent race with spec cars so the drivers can go for it in the race with no risk of damage and it'd also be more interesting to watch them fight it out in the same cars and no worries about Sunday.
Saw this on reddit:
Max: "I'm happy with just the main race. I think that's way better for the excitement. I naturally of course hope there won't be too many changes, otherwise I won't be around for too long".

Max is going to go and dominate Endurance racing before too long
I have read that on his bucket list is the Le Mans 24 hour Race, he already has Monaco under his belt, could he be eyeing the Motorsport Triple Crown, I am sure he could get a seat for the Indy 500 in the future.
