Always watch engineering teams in top ten shootouts, they see micro sectors we don't so will celebrate before we even register it!

Says the billionaire who’s operating in a different reality to everyone else
There’s no doubt those of us who occupy lowly positions in the paddock would be left stranded, and maybe the riders are concerned for their team. Something billionaires dont feel is concern for others🙃
Toto Wolff has criticised MotoGP riders “WHO GEOPOLITICALLY KNOW NOTHING” for their standoff on racing in Qatar and the media frenzy that created
"Formula 1 follows what the international guidelines are, whether there’s travel restrictions, airlines not flying, any warnings in the region, the kind of feedback that local governments are making.
I think that if riders stand up, who geopolitically know nothing about what’s going on, but have the audience that listens, I think that is something that creates media value."

Lusail Circuit publishes emergency shelter locations & general safety protocols in case of attack during Qatar #MotoGP
If there is an alert, stay calm and do this:
1. Move to cover right away. No need to look out the window or film; just go.
2. At the hotel, day or night: take the stairs to the hotel’s designated safe area. Don’t use the elevator. If you can’t
get there in time, stay on your own floor in the inner area by the stairwell and elevators, away from windows,
and sit against an inner wall. If you can’t leave your room, stay low on the side away from the window.
3. At the circuit: go to your team’s agreed solid building. Avoid tents, open paddock areas and glass-fronted
buildings.
4. Outside: get into the nearest building. If there isn’t one, get low to the ground and cover your head.
5. In a vehicle: pull over and go into the nearest building. If there isn’t one, step away from the vehicle, get low and cover your head.
6. Stay put for at least 10 minutes, or until the all-clear message, whichever is later.
7. After: don’t touch or photograph any debris; report it to local emergency services. Check in with your team or
company group so everyone is accounted for.

Vale Alan Jones.
It is with great sadness that the Australian Grand Prix Corporation acknowledges the passing of Alan Jones, and we extend our deepest sympathies to his family, loved ones and friends.
As a Formula 1® World Champion and one of Australia’s greatest racing drivers, Alan holds a special place in the history of our sport. His 1980 World Championship inspired a generation of Australian motorsport fans, while his victory at the Australian Grand Prix that same year remains the last time an Australian driver has won their home Grand Prix.
He leaves an extraordinary legacy in Australian motorsport and will be deeply missed by the motorsport community around the world.

At the end of his post-race media briefing @MercedesAMGF1 Toto Wolff gave an unprompted overview of what makes Kimi Antonelli's success so special. You must read his words: "This notion of win at all costs, selfish, opportunistic, ruthless for your own benefit - that model of racing driver has died. We have a new champion that represents values like humility, like integrity, loyalty, respect, being himself, and should be a role model for many other young drivers in junior formulas, and should be a role model for the few entitled ones in F1, the endless moaners on the radio, the ones that complain, the ones that crash.
"Look at this kid of 20 years, and then think what you can do in order to improve. That's the message to these kids. That is how the FIA, that's how Mohammed, and Stefano, that's how I would want to see racing drivers in the future. That is modern F1. Kimi represents the modern F1 driver because of those values, not only because of his talent.
"That comes, but the talent is there in everyone. But you've got to be a good person too, and he has demonstrated that you can beat everyone out there by being a good person."
