Re: Formula 1 2023
Ditch the sprint races. Fastest qualifiers start from the back of the grid and lets see how good they really are. That sounds like an interesting idea As to the season, Martin Brundle's comments when discussing the LA Sainz episode "There are some 400 Rules, all very complicated to interpret. No-on...

Re: RAFat Waddington
Of course, I could well have got the four wrong. It was possibly the โHannaโ section, 6-9, recently changed from โGypoโ.
FYI. Ray Hanna, of the Old Flying Machine company who was a Red Arrow original who died 2005.

Re: Formula 1 2023
Iโm halfway through the sprint replay and wondered
DRS Currently it is only allowed in certain parts of the circuit, correct?
Would it make for a more interesting race if it could be used whenever the driver chose?
Comments please
