Plenty of Politics in Formula 1

[Oyster69]

Formula 1 has all levels of politics in it.
Regional politics, national and international politics.
Inter team, intra team politics.
Technical issues, standards, conformace.
Wind them up and let them go politics.
Seems some people with their hair on fire don’t understand that the Lit PB is the perfect place to discuss and share ideas of all things F1.
Time to go racing now!

The Pirelli inters seem to be sucking!

And I’m happy to say that I started this thread!

Gear up for an F1 weekend from Saudi Arabia.

Keep an eye on Max Verstappen, Red Bull, consistently dominant performances.

Norris and Piastri at McLaren.

Hamilton and Charles Leclerc from Ferrari.

Mercedes, Alpine and Williams too and the well talented new drivers.

Should be good.

Hoping for a clean accident free race.

Who took pole? Just getting back in.

Nobody yet.
Qualifying hasn’t been held yet!

What, there are auto racers definitely identified with one political party or another?

Any Commie drivers? That would seem incompatible with commercial advertisements plastered all over the car.

Antonelli almost collected a Black Bin Liner who had wandered onto the track!
Just a laugh. If you know, you know.

You're not really talking about this idiocy, are you?!

Qualifying for the 2025 Saudi GP is finished.

The driver the media discounted has once again snatched pole from the favoured team.

The tenth place car is separated from pole by 1.07 seconds.

Piastri in P2 is a hundredth of a second off pole.

Verstappen has another great chance to turn his pole position into the top step on the podium.

Again, hope for a clean, nobody gets hurt race tomorrow.

Another F1 race in an american parking lot!
A bunch of self important overinflated americans in attendance.
You could get a barrel of oil out of some of them after refining!
