The Leadup
Sara apparently turned champagne into a deadly weapon, if one is to believe a priggish town council representative. Kirkus deals with the fallout.
We do a post mortem on Munich and contemplate the choice of staying out on the wrong tyres vs coming in for an extra refuelling pit, looking at some data centre numbers from Munich.
Celebration time! Silvia’s level 2 scouting centre arrives. Was it worth the $5 million? We’ll see. Unfortunately her scouting on pit crew, well…
At least we’re not paying the amount for drivers that ONE team is. Which one? Tune in and see!
In the sordid world of motorsport politics, we look at whether suspension systems will be made spec for 2019, leaving only three parts (engine, brakes and gearbox) being able to be developed. Just by coincidence, those are Freddie’s three strong suits. How do you think we’ll vote?
Freddie, Gary and Kirkus hatch a devious plan to get a new part into use early using one of Freddie’s custom components.
We sign on another new sponsor, and yet again get less than we had been. The A sponsors are for the most part out there in 2019.
And at the end of all that we pack our galoshes, raincoats and umbrellas, and board a BA flight to Heathrow.
Before The Lights
Nobody is getting out of here in only 2 pits.
Lightning flashes, thunder roars, and the odds of at least one crash are very short indeed.
At least in the GT series you have a roof, a nice comfy heater and a stereo system to tune into the latest hits.
In an open wheeler, there’s nothing but Nomex and a helmet between you and the delightful English weather.
