The Formula 1 Thread 🏎

Started watching the “Race to Perfection” series on F1TV Pro, but the sound editing is terrible. If you wear headphones all the voice come out the left ear only, while music is both L and R channels. SOOOOOO distracting…

"…this summer… is Eurospeak for June - August. So if we haven’t seen smiling faces and gentlemanly handshakes all round by the end of August, I guess Mercedes will want to use the last couple of months of the year to court Max…

Officially it’s going into the record books as the “Formula 1 Pirelli Gran Premio Del Made In Italy E Dell’emilia Romagna 2021”, which is a really fantastic name for a Grand Prix that just rolls smoothly off the tongue… /s

Despite the daft name - stuffed to the gills with it’s tyre and Italian producers association sponsors’ names - the 2021 Emilia Romagna GP (see how much easier that is!) has some solid times for the race weekend ahead:

ETA: The irony of naming the “Il Portale Ufficiale Dei Produttori Italiani”, this proudly Italian directory of Italian products, using the English “Made in Italy” is perhaps the most Italian thing ever.

I’m going to miss the qualifying! Looking forward to the race. Alpine is bringing some upgrades that I hope will make a difference.

Easy to miss with all those other Italian words and hundreds of letters all around it. I guess with a strong enough fake Italian Marioeseque accent you could make it sound semi-Italian.

Formula 1 and the FIA have made changes to the schedule for the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix in Imola out of respect for the funeral service of His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh that will take place on Saturday 17th April 2021. As a mark of respect for the Royal funeral, Qualifying will be moved to avoid a clash with the service.
