That was a non-championship race. No points. Drivers used them as training and experience. Canāt do them any more because money/contract reasons.
Yes, just found it, makes me feel bloody old
Feels almost like pathe news

A blast from the past with Frank talking aerodynamics to someone I had to Google as I did not know of Ben Bowlby, who was introduced as the next Colin Chapman.

Frank, you clearly had a very good understanding of aerodynamics many years ago!

That is sad. Not somebody that I always agreed with but he had a full and lengthy life. A great driver who was fair and decent (on the track/road).
Was really surpised to hear this this morning: thought theyād have managed to land an agreement.
There are plenty of options, as always, for Ferrari, but itās difficult to see where Seb goes from here, and (Iām gonna be in the minroty on this one) while we donāt know whatās gonna become of this season, it would be one hell of a crap way for a very deserving champion to bow out.

Didnāt like the lad, but agreed itās a dumb way to depart, since itās hard to see him in F1 at-all after this. Itās a foot-shooting exercise - shoulda swallowed the bitter pill with dignity, got used to CLās sloppy seconds, and Kimiād the fuck out of a nice long, slow, profitable retirementā¦

Vettel has claimed that the decision had nothing to do with Ferrari offering him less money for a 2021 contract extension.
I donāt buy it.
Ayrton Senna was once quoted as saying, āI donāt care what I get paid, as long as it is $1 more than the other guy.ā
I suspect there is also a lot of - Leclerc is Ferrariās future and equal status is becoming an issue.
