    Unfortunately imo they’ll pick an apple pie US driver (Colton Herta has been suggested) teamed with an experienced F1 driver. Perez or Bottas ?

    The turmoil at Alpine continues after team principal Oliver Oakes resigned after just 10 months in the role. No reason has been given by the team for his sudden departure, but it has he been suggested that he felt his authority was being undermined by team executive Flavio Briatore...

    H. Marco reported by the BBC reiterating that VER has a break contract clause if RB cannot provide a competitive car this season. It’s no secret Toto Wolfe is keen to sign him, but who would loose their seat at Mercedes? RUS has been vey consistent this season, but ANT has great potential...

    Yes, but I should have clarified I was only listing airlines from countries that fly to Australia.

    Cheap J flights SIN - BCN with Saudia $2200

    Whilst I agree with your example, it becomes a limited choice if we rule out airlines from countries which still use capital punishment. Then we are only left with Qantas, British Airways, Air New Zealand, Air Canada, Air Niguini and Fiji.

    Experiences with flights BA16 and BA15

    BA uses the 777 between (I think) October and March switching to the 787 for the rest of the year. The 777 has the new club suite 1-2-1 with sliding doors, the 797/900 used in our winter is the old ying Yang club arrangement

    Got my referral bonus points and my 100k promo offer together. Fortunately they were entered separately so the 125 k points club transaction limit was avoided.

    I’ve noticed a reticence among the Sky commentators to criticise some of the teams and individually In the sport. I haven’t heard them mention of the controversial leadership of Mohammed Ben Sulayem, or Red Bull’s “issues”. Maybe they’ve learnt from Ted Kravitz after Red Bull froze him out...

    Frankfurth transit, mct

    You would have to clear customs and immigration at FRA but the flight to Spain is within the Schengen area so not when you land in MAD.

    Given how tricky the Red Bull is to drive, I wouldn’t be surprised if LAW in the VCARB beats TSU in the Red Bull. VER stated last w/e that he thinks VCARB is a quicker car than RB at the moment. 1743024351

    Yup, I reckon they’ll announce the swap in the next 48 hours. Last season, apparently Honda offered Red Bull $10m to get Tsunoda to replace Perez, but Red Bull chose to go with Lawson. After China, Red Bull went back to Honda, who agreed to pay the money so long as Tsunoda was in the seat for...

    Driving in South Africa 2024 - or a driver??

    Planing on hiring a car in SA later this year. Reading the Avis T&C I noticed that driving their cars on unsealed roads voided their insurance coverage. Since a large portion of SA’s roads are graded gravel but not sealed I wrote to Avis for clarification. Their reply seems to confirm this...

    Sydney taxi driver standard (rant)

    Well before LCC it was dirt cheap to holiday in Spain on a package tour from the UK. The travel companies would charter planes. To quote Dire Straits’ Industrial Disease “Two weeks in España and Sunday striptease"

    Now wouldn’t that be nice. To get a license to operate a black cab they must pass “The Knowledge “ This can take 3- 4 years of training, learning the quickest routes to thousands of streets and landmarks within a 6 mile radius of Charing Cross Station. London cabbies have been found to have an...

    Look in Youtube for “another dream come true” on Lewis Hamilton’s channel for a very clever remake of Ferris Bueller’s day off. For some reason I cannot post the direct link.
