Re: 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix Race Thread

They choose to break their own procedures to engineer a “result” That's not true, they had lap 1. Following their own precedent from countless occasions they...

In short its a mixture of content narrated by a man who I think is from the north of England.

Usually starts with "Hope you've had a good week a...

I'm not sure this merits a thread of it's own, but few people have picked up on this.

Hi guys,
quick question... is anyone else planning on using the Eurotunnel from the UK to get to the GP this year?
I am planning on doing this with some friends in a camper van... but getting a bit concerned now with "Operation Stack" and all the migrant problems!
What are peoples thoughts?
