This will be a general purpose thread for F1 news and pings that really don't require a thread of their own.
The .ast race in saud8 Arabia, why did max start so,far back? I missed the practice and qualifying so wasn’t sure why he had to start near back?
Also, it seems Hamilton domination might be waning- max passed h8m like he was standing still (of course the dns system helped, but even when it wasn’t employed, he was passing cars left and right.)
So farit looks like,there are several drivers who will be vying for 2nd place, even first in some cases, which is good to see. Max is so dominant, but seems like a few drivers will keepupwith him this year and result in some good racing- gonna be a good year methinks
iirc final drive puked and never made it out of Q2
ah thanks- I usually have them taped, but missed the saudi one-
he lost drive but don’t know if it was clutch or hydrologic
related as he made it back to the pits
but not electro-mechanical
Glad he got it worked out in time for race- it was quite a run for him- just needed one more caution and he mighta taken first-
Yup...
Jenson Button will make his NASCAR Cup Series debut at Circuit of The Americas as part of a three-race partnership with Mobil 1 Racing, Button announced Thursday on Race Hub.
Button will drive the No. 15 Mobil 1 Ford Mustang fielded by Rick Ware Racing at COTA, the Chicago Street Course and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course. Marketing and promotional support is being facilitated by Stewart-Haas Racing, according to a press release, noting prior collaborations between the two programs with numerous drivers. The Englishman is also one of three primary drivers piloting NASCAR’s Garage 56 entry in the 2023 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Button won 15 times during his 17 seasons in Formula One and claimed the 2009 championship with six victories. He was announced to the Garage 56 lineup on Jan. 28, bringing him into the stock-car world for the first time at age 43. He joins seven-time NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson, Le Mans and Daytona winner Mike Rockenfeller and alternate-slash-coach Jordan Taylor.
