Hamilton and Leclerc DQ’d - Disqualified - NOT Dairy Queen. Although in Hammy’s case it could stand for “Disqualified Queen.”
Can’t wait for Hammy’s comments so I can add another peg to the Wheel of Woes.

Great! Those Jags were very nice race cars. Best of luck to his son, tough economic time to get back into racing...

anybody up for some tuesday night trivia???
question: WHY, do tire blankets have the text backwards? Crosscheck quality/safety control
https://us.motorsport.com/f1/news/f1-agrees-to-keep-tyre-blankets-for-slicks-in-2024/10501165/
The decision was made at today’s F1 Commission meeting at Spa where the FIA, the F1 organisation and the teams talked through a number of key issues.
Tyre blankets were one of the main items on the agenda. The 2024 rules specify that they are used, and it would have taken a vote and agreement for that to change.
However, as previously reported, the consensus is that while the prototypes demonstrated that they get up to temperature within a few corners of leaving the pits at test venues like Bahrain, Barcelona and Silverstone, teams wanted to see them in action at a wider range of tracks and learn more about how they behave during a transition from intermediates on a damp track.
It has been agreed to revisit the issue ahead of 2025. The complication is that the same season sees the start of a new tyre tender deal, and it’s yet to be confirmed whether it will go to incumbent Pirelli or the returning Bridgestone.
However, it was agreed to introduce blanket-free intermediates in 2024, with wets having already been in use since this year’s Monaco GP.

when you see them the text is readable on the opposite tire
the tire you are changing is readable from the otherside
it’s a crosscheck safety thing, you are checking the other guys work and he yours...

Were they using the Special Ed Short Bus Crew ?

After a bit more mental gymnastics in My head that would only apply to when they’re in the garage because they don’t have blankets on them at the car during a hot stop. ?
