UNOFFICIAL RESULTS...

Jepworth takes the Fake Race trophy with 3 correct slotted and a 17pt week.

Fleuryisgod & Arcfyr both had 7/10 top 10 drivers. Which is impressive with Perez, Bottas, Latifi, Russell, Norris all being way out of order.

There was no change in the top 6 order with the results.

Spoiler!

Well it looks like I got zero points, so I'd suggest we scrap it!


Seriously though I'm for not including them, since there wasn't an actual race, despite what F1 wants us to believe.

It's tricky because no matter what the FIA did yesterday, the result was going to be a clusteruck. No good options

Rumours are that Albon and De Vries to Williams/Alfa Romeo. Giovinazzi may be without a ride.

Giovanazzi to be the reserve driver and take part in the Ferrari Le Mans Hypercar team is what I read

De Vries would be interesting. Surprised it's not Ilott, get the sense that if he doesn't get a drive now he just never will

I think the rumour was Albon at Williams. De Vries replacing Gio.

Here’s one of the articles.

Cool. I was just thinking about this last week when Toto said they were waiting on the driver announcement to make sure they all had rides and was speculating Kimi retired freeing up a seat for Bottas. Now we just need another Finn to get into another seat so the circle of veteran Finn drivers at Alfa can continue when Bottas is done.

Poor Haas having to stick it out with Mazaspin just for the money.

Back to Kimi, if this is the end that’s a hell of a career. Almost 20 years in an F1 seat, world champ, finish second twice and third 3 times. Over 100 podiums which few have done. All while seemingly never giving a crap what anyone though about him. No BS, just race.

My favourite Kimi story is that in 2012/13? 13/14? Seasons he had a $50k per point deal with lotus and proceeded to score almost 400 points over the two seasons and almost bankrupted the team.

Eventually he ended up forgoing some of the money otherwise Lotus weren't going to have enough money to pay their factory staff.

I worked in Finland for a few months after university (literally last century) but what you see from Kimi and Bottas is pretty standard. They are a pretty stoic people but have a super dry and witty humour. Funny as hell and enjoy a good drink. Only time I even blacked out was there…twice.
