Sorry to hear this, do you suffer any blood pressure issues, sounds like it might be up with all the hassles, might be worth putting off sorting the van & have a relaxing cay watching practise.
Thanks for the message, i normally don't have a blood pressure problem, but with everything going on who knows. Anyway good news, had my eye checked, he said all the laser work is good, i have just had a small bleed hopefully this should clear fairly soon. Having a quick snack then heading back to campsite and hopefully get a couple of hours in at the circuit if nothing else it will be a recce for tomorrow. hopefully update soon. Managed to get here for the second half of f1 practice, followed by f2 qualifying, currently f3 qualifying lastly the Renault clio practice. |

Managed to get here for the second half of f1 practice, followed by f2 qualifying, currently f3 qualifying lastly the Renault clio practice. Day 2 was good day but very hot, luckly not too many people and found a good spot for today on the bends before the start finish straight, the F1 cars are a lot quieter than the F2 and F3 cars, but still awesome. managed to get to our spot for 08:30 and already watched tge renault clio race, just waiting for the F3 race to start. Update soon. |

F2 next, again the only driver i have heard of is Mick Schumacher. |

{CLICK HERE FOR SPOILER}I think this was possibly one of the most boring F1 races I can recall! Only thing of interest was Riccardios overtaking which I think should be penalised as he did go off track deliberately twice to get past two cars (and he knew he was naughty when being interviewed after the race). I hope he will as just because there is no kerb or wall doesn't give you carte blanche to ignore track limits. I am liking McLarens semi-resurgence and think they have a super driving pairing in Carlos Sainz Jr and Lando Norris. Always liked Carlos anyway and Lando is doing great for a F1 Rookie. Williams are having to defend retaining Kubica in a race seat after another poor race. He was a very good driver but sorry to say he is just not up to the job any more  At one time, Williams would have no hesitation in replacing an underperforming driver (gawd, they sacked enough Champions!) but say he is providing valuable input to the team. No evidence to date sadly. Sebastian V. seems to be getting quite disenchanted with the sport and lost his mojo. I wonder if he will carry on after this season as I can't see him winning another title with the way Ferrari are going. And by the time they are back upto speed Leclerc will be much more experienced and an even tougher challenger. |

Ferrari dominated in the michael schumacher years and that was dull for me , then Vettel had a few year on the trot with RedBull .. it’s down to Ferrari now to get a decent management team together something they’ve fallen short on in recent years ☹️

It is unusual for one team NOT to dominate a season, that's the way it has always been since the start of Grand Prix racing  A couple of the "Vettle Years" were very variable in fact. I can't remember which year it was, but one of the seasons, I think the first 7 races were won by seven different drivers. |

Schumi had 5 back to back championships with Ferrari ... Don't forget the McLaren years, or Williams dominance.
It happens, it will level out or swing back eventually.
Just need to get rid of the flat car park tracks .. booooorrrrrrrriiiiiiiinnnnnnnggggggg!
