Hehe, it looks like I finally have at least one moderator on my side. :-)))))

Is that why you haven't gotten yours yet?

American formula 1 driver Mario Andretti has been stripped of his license after being caught driving at high speeds in the United States, according to police reports released on Monday.

The Ford-Ferrari standout was caught by radar on Sunday afternoon while he was pushing his BMW way past the speed limit on the I-5 freeway between Los Angeles and San Diego. Following the incident, authorities ordered him to surrender his driver's license while a judicial investigation gets underway.

Local officials noted that while Andretti is looking at a two-month driving suspension in the US, it shouldn't have any impact on his ability to compete in the United States Grand Prix. 😁 😁 😁

whenever the Williams-BMW isn't performing, you really just end up with a BMW 🙏

Charles Martin78 said:Hey, look at that—post number 300. I really am talking way too much...😁

Haha, well, I just hit my 350th.🙂

Elizabeth Hughes regarding Sergio Marchionne said:It’s all smooth sailing... for the moment... 🙂
Nobody is really digging their heels in just yet, but... well, don't hold your breath, because things will likely heat up before we know it... 😉 😁

What kind of tension are we actually talking about here? 🙂

silentpilot6 said:Did you guys actually realize how long the original—the old Talladega—used to be? 26 miles🙏 🙏 🙏 . That’s my question for you. Honestly, if only the higher-ups could pull off something like that again👍 .

It's just not possible. Not a single car would even finish a lap because the drivers wouldn't be able to memorize the track; it’s simply too massive, with over 150 turns...

Olivia Parker5 said:IndyCar, that drop right after the first turn followed by that steep climb... it's absolute madness.

Are you talking about Eau Rouge? 😁

Charles Martin78 said:Hmm... They’re going to need a seriously talented driver to pull this off... I find it hard to believe Williams would sell up...😁

Loooool, nice one. 😁

I highly doubt you're talking about Ralf. Poor guy, at the rate he's going, he might not even make it to the end of the season... unless Jean decides he actually wants two egos running the team at once. 😁 🙂

Elizabeth Hughes regarding Sergio Marchionne said:To be fair, Indianapolis...
But my heart really belongs to Indianapolis...

Is that because Mario Andretti grabbed his first win there? 🙂

Personally, I've always had a soft spot for the old Daytona, you know, the Talladega stretch.

As for the modern tracks on the calendar, I suppose IndyCar and Silverstone are the standout choices.😉

It honestly looks like Ferrari might only have a shot at an individual driver's championship this year... when you look at the constructors' standings, they are way, way behind right now...

To prevent hydroplaning, you really need a higher ride height on those speedboats, right? You’d also want more aggressive wing angles to maintain downforce, perhaps a more sensitive traction control system, and there's honestly a whole laundry list of technical tweaks I could go on about... but I just don't have the time to dive into all the specifics right now.

Elizabeth Hughes says Montezemolo:
😳

no no 😛

It’s official—Josh is another year older today, though honestly, he hasn't aged a day and still looks incredible. 😛 😉 👍

Gary Morris3 said:Who, me?

😛

Well, actually, both of them.

Here is a little something for both of them.
😘
😘

Oh, look at that, she’s still kicking! :-))

Just take it slow, we've still got two days to go 😁

Regardless, I'm more than happy to echo everyone else's sentiments here

Happy birthday, Elizabeth Hughes 😘

I think everything has already been said 😉

Raymond Palmer8 said:🙄 Listen, maybe that’s not such a bad thing. Just when they start thinking they’ve actually mastered the art of being Formula 1 drivers, reality hits them with a grounding...

Haha, classic.

shadowtinker29 said:The damn Elizabeth Hughes just announced today that traction control, launch control, and those automatic gearboxes are staying put through at least the end of this season. In other words, the kids (Robotonen, Alonso, Button...) can keep sleeping soundly without a care in the world. It’s a bit of a letdown, honestly; I was really hoping we'd see some genuine, old-school racing starting from Silverstone onwards, but instead...😠 :2up:

Man, what a shame. That could have actually been a lot of fun...😢
