I’m off to Brands Hatch next weekend to see some proper F1 cars in the Masters Historic meeting. Old school Mclarens, Williams, Lotus etc plus a host of classic support races, including saloons, Le Mans & GT cars.
Well worth going if you’re into that type of thing
Im keen to go but cant see what cars are entered, bit of a waste if its a depleted field.

As with last year’s meeting, expect there’ll be fairly big grids for all the races. With there not being many meetings recently, a lot of owners will be keen to participate.
My cars booked into the display of classics on the Sunday and that had sold out a couple of weeks ago. Noticed that the Paddock Hill grandstand is full on the Sunday as well.
Paddock Hill Stand has to be one of the best places to watch a race from. I used to go down there regularly when I lived in London. Fantastic view of the whole club circuit.
I have been for yonks so I might well go. I like to walk around the whole circuit and through the woods watching the cars at different parts of the track.
I turned on the pre race press conference last week and Hamilton looked in a foul mood. You know, when whatever they are asked, they are going to pick holes with the question or hit back on it. I thought this was a bit unusual for him and wonder if it was linked to him knowing it would be a tough weekend or whether it contributed to it being a tough weekend.

Don't they have the longest car on the grid? Mercedes always look cumbersome in slow twisty street sections of circuit, they tend to excel in medium to high speed corners. Take Singapore a couple of years ago for instance, they went there knowing they were well off the Ferraris.
Also he's only actually won the Monaco GP 3 times, which when you consider how many times he's turned up there in the fastest car, and at the top of the standings, it's quite a surprise, he's won at the Hungaroring 8 times by comparison

Yep - my son and I are going on the Sunday - went last year - brilliant day out - the noise is off the scale

Out the back, watching the cars take Dingle Dell is brilliant

Max Mosley, the British racing driver who went on to run motorsport's world governing body and became a prominent privacy campaigner, has died aged 81.
His death was confirmed by ex-Formula 1 boss Bernie Ecclestone.
Lando Norris has a three place grid penalty after that red flag incident.
Bit harsh I think, thought he took the safer option in a way rather than trying to make a late entry into the pits.
Although doing a bit of research it appears thats why he's only got a three place penalty, i.e. had he done that with plenty of time to react it would have been five places, if he'd had absolutely no time to react he wouldnt have had the penalty so probably fair on that respect.
What a terrible shame for Verstappen, has been perfect all race and in total control when his rear left gives up with 4 laps to go. Obviously good for Lewis but not how he’d want to gain points.
This whole tyre situation is pretty crazy. Pirelli have come under a lot of criticism in the last few years and judging by the way everyone is openly criticising the tyres right now, this seems to be the straw that’s broken the back of the patience shown by the team principals. Obviously, the situation isn’t as bad as the 2005 Michelin farce, but Pirelli don’t fill me with confidence, and I don’t think them having the monopoly since 2007 helps either.

At the end of the day, he walked away from it. so that’s the main thing.
Anyway, regardless of what happens now, like I said before, Verstappen and Stroll are both fine, so that’s the main thing. 👍🏼
