··Ash @ ΩFNow if the French GP can be moved to a different track...
Maybe a Paris street race or something could be interesting too.

·I think Magny Cours is the best choice there, the Le Mans Bugatti circuit really isn’t good for F1 cars at all and Paul Ricard isn’t making for good racing. I mean if they used the most significant feature of Paul Ricard, the track watering sprinkler system to generate an artificially wet track for the full race distance that would be cool I guess but in the dry it’s too mediocre.
Maybe a Paris street race or something could be interesting too.
The last era when they had V engines..
That sound on the long straight...
Hope to see some more races here in the future!
Some history here:
https://amp.formula1.com/en/latest/...he-german-circuit.2TAWIELS2BSX3KhWmSBCAc.html
"The big, scary Nordschleife version of the Nurburgring was completed in 1927. But after eventually proving too big and too scary for F1, Niki Lauda’s 1976 horror crash in the German Grand Prix forced a re-think, with the more manageable, more modern Grand Prix circuit opened in 1984, with a star-studded roll-call of F1 drivers – including Ayrton Senna, James Hunt, Lauda and Stirling Moss – racing around the track in Mercedes 190 saloon cars to mark the occasion."

His name was Ayrton Senna. After that race and what he did against who he did it, in a spectacular way, he was no longer an unknown and became a highly in demand driver, quickly picked up by Lotus.

·If young Mazespin loses his seat at Haas, will he go complete his Russian military service? I’d hate to see him driving a tracked vehicle.

·That 1984 race with the 190’s was won by a relatively unknown new comer who started at the back of the pack.
His name was Ayrton Senna. After that race and what he did against who he did it, in a spectacular way, he was no longer an unknown and became a highly in demand driver, quickly picked up by Lotus.
Just after that I was press-ganged into organising the official Team Lotus supporters club for the region in which I lived -- East Anglia. So I had occasionally to visit "Fawlty Towers" aka Ketteringham Hall, home of Team Lotus and for "occasionally" read "whenever I could find an an excuse".
Ayrton was loved by everyone there.
Second, everyone spoke his first name the Brazilian way. Eye err ton.
And every time he won, even for McLaren later, there would be a personal post-it note on the latest correspondence to me from the earlier Lotus Team Manager, Andrew Ferguson, saying "What a wonderful boy!"

·Very sad to see what is going on in Ukraine. Nice to see Haas remove Uralkali livery. I am not a fan of Mazepin. If he is not allowed to drive it may be the ONLY positive thing to come out of this mess.

its not Uralkali livery. It’s the Russian flag which they want to run. Uralkali’s official logo in every other use but F1 is Red and Green.
they can run Uralkali if they want, just not the Russian flag.

It is the same thing to me. Uralkali sponsorship uses the colors of the russian flag for livery. I don’t differentiate between the two.

·Mazepin has been booted out - Fittipaldi Jr Jr favourite to replace him.
Firing or banning someone just because they are Russian is bad policy. We should be trying to build bridges, not burn them.
However, in Mazepins case; son of an oligarch, which is the only reason he has the seat, good riddance.
