It was for that very reason I started the post with "For anyone
interested...", but it seems even that doesn't keep the critics away!

When I was young, I had a Mattel electric car racing set. They were
small battery operated cars that ye placed on the track and watched spin
round and round, until they randomly crashed out of the track or their
overcharged nicads ran down.

No hand controllers, nothing. Zero skill.

Such fun ....

I think that taking the trouble to say you aren't interested in
something is weird. I mean, I'm not interested in nearly everything but
I don't trawl the internet commenting "I'm not interested in New Zealand
tiddlywinks competitions," or "I'm not interested in the history of
Etruscan pottery."

"And what are you interested in?"
"I'm really interested in saying I'm not interested when people say
anything whatsoever."

What exactly is the attraction? I have tried watching but it's so

Yes well, Its all gone mega commercial these days. I hear that if you take
pictures at the event then try to publish them they are likely to come after
you as they own all the rights to photos taken in the venue. The world has
gone mad.
What next, fines for breathing somebody elses clean air perhaps?

I'm surprised by now they have not simply moved the drivers to a studio and
let them drive the cars remotely.

For most races I would agree, but yesterday we had Perez holding up
Hamilton for several laps so Verstappen could catch up. As the radio
link from Hamilton to the Mercedes team noted on-screen "There's some
dangerous driving going on here". Then the "virtual" safety car appeared
which allowed Verstappen to change to softer tyres which had him
catching up, although not quickly enough - it would probably have taken
another couple of laps past the 58 for him to do so due to Hamilton's
failing tyres. Then we had the crash and real safety car, which allowed
Verstappen another change of tyres and to close up further, but even
that wouldn't have been enough without the extraordinary decision by the
race stewards to allow the lapped cars between Verstappen and Hamilton
to overtake the safety car (but not the other lapped cars behind
Verstappen) and so allow Verstappen to come up behind Hamilton for the
last lap. That effectively guaranteed Verstappen to be the winner.

Mercedes have said they will appeal the decision concerning the safety
car and lapped cars, but it won't make any difference.

Anyway, it was exciting enough to make all the main TV news yesterday
evening and much of the papers today.

If I've got any of that wrong, corrections welcomed.

Jeff

Is this not the fault of the circuit designers though? If there were more
overtaking opportunities then there would be some racing, at the moment it
seems that defensive driving can in effect keep faster cars and drivers out
of the picture.
Maybe each car should have its own lane.

I remember one report explaining how the drivers are sponsored by a
number of companies so will wear one cap when they take off their helmet
off, then change to another when they get out of the car, another when
they go up on the podium etc etc!

Just gets very silly.
