Newey negotiating release.

Given Dapols announcement I reckon a second 14/48xx.

Sid Watkins biography is a very good read. He did a lot behind the scenes with regards to safety. Frank Williams amongst others owed him their life and careers.

Out of all the crashes Barrichello's looked the worst.

I'm sort of glad F1 isn't at Imola this weekend. 

I'm not sure Barrichello was racing following his pirouette along the catch fence. I seem to remember a start incident with JJLehto and wheels into the crowd. I think there was a pit incident as well which brought in the speed limit.

30 years ago Roland Ratzenberger sadly died at the awful Imola weekend in 1994. Often over shadowed by the death of Ayrton Senna the following day. 

My wallet hurts! Will definitely want a 517 for Almost Arley. 

In other news the title of Whinger Spices biography has been changed to "Chick's and #icks pics: How to bring down an F1 team".

I will believe it when it happens....

Hulkenburg to Sauber/ Audi for 2025

Very true @Oldddudders. Newey has given a large part of his career to RB. To leave in such circumstances will probably hurt. 

Not just Miami. I can’t remember when the outside temperature went over 20C!

Stunning work as ever I'm looking forward to reading it.

Brilliant! I bet the RB board wish they had dumped the Ginger Whinger

I've no idea tbh.

Well today's race was a snoozefest!

When I get a parcel from Derails, my youngest asks what is it and can I have the biscuits please?

So some DIY has put a stop to progress. But I have managed to do something. I bought a battered Scenecraft Highley box for its chimney. It so distinctive and it was easier than making one.

I have struggled with the yellow brick painting and this is my best effort. I'm still not happy with it.

I also took the plunge and 4321 arrived earlier today. Looks the part and runs a dream on my rolling road. Not a hint of wobble.

She looks the part.

As much as I like Lewis, I think he has given up on this year already. That was clear when he asked if he should let George past!
