Haas keep having hydraulics issues, they'd been doing well as well
Just seen about Spa hope they don't get rid of it its one of my favourites to watch. Couldn't they improve drainage though

Helmut Marko just apparently said on Sky Germany that max isn’t scared to race but Perez is very scared - however it’s not that different if you’re used to living in Mexico City. Proving once again what a colossal cnut he is.
Leclercs clipped a wall.
Why would Perez be scared?
The missile attack. Some drivers reportedly didn’t want to continue - there’s another meeting later.
I am worried about you, watch your sodium intake man.
I’ll just laugh.Imagine if missile lands on the center of the track live on TV, the world we live in these days, not impossible.
Just looked it up, I didn't know there was an attack before I read your post.
Don’t worry, the organisers are in direct contact with the Saudi security authorities to ensure all necessary security and safety measures continue to be implemented.
They’re monitoring the situation and will be the first to know if a missile does indeed hit the track.
In other news McLaren looking a lot better thankfully.
Thoughts and prayers at the ready
Scared the drivers might speak out.
What a suprise not. Let me guess the first question....
Well, he's raised your awareness of the issue.
He has a job. He has to work there. He can also raise awareness of certain issues.
Funny how most who criticse drivers like Vettel or Hamilton for speaking out, do feck all themselves.
Just seen the statement from Domenicali and Mohammed bin Sulayem and it would not fill me with confidence If I was a driver.
They say the drivers , teams and families are safe !!
"Formula One knew about the possibility of these rocket attacks before they came out here. Prince Khalid, who is the Chairman of the circuit at Silverstone had assured the air defence systems were adequate enough to stop an attack getting through.
WTF , who wants to drive or be at a track where you could possible come under attack from missiles, it is utter madness.
Domenicali is on site and able to deal with this situation. It was a little surprising when we heard it was a deliberate attack because what is there to say what those individuals might attack next. They have never given any indication they would attack the Grand Prix itself of course but does it have to be considered a health and safety risk.
What is he going to do, kick any missiles away.
What if a 100 missiles are fired in Sunday and just one gets thought, for me the risk is far to big.

hamilton would be fine. he spent most of last year trying to avoid a missile heading for his sidepod most corners.

Saudi Arabian GP FP2 Timesheet
So they’ve all met and F1 have told them race goes on which the team principles have agreed to with Toto and Helmut saying the safety of the area has been guaranteed. However, the drivers have been meeting afterwards for 30 minutes with it still going on.
How can it be 100% guaranteed, it cant.
They’re ballistic missiles - they absolutely cannot guarantee shooting them down. It’s genuinely absurd it has been left to the drivers. And it’s not just the driver’s safety and team principles it is also the fans, mechanics, media etc who have zero say in this going ahead.
Toto and Helmut can get fecked, they can’t guarantee shit.
He had left now he’s back
Horner: F1 can't be bullied by terrorism
Speaking to Sky Sports, Red Bull team principal Christian Horner said:
"The sport has to stand together collectively. Any act of terrorism shouldn't be condoned and sport shouldn't be bullied into a position. A situation like that just isn't acceptable."
"Stefano and the president are dealing with it. There's all the assurances from the organisers and we will be going racing."
I actually agree with Horner, to a point.
When does not bowing down to terrorism become not worth the risk.
One stay missile in to the track on Sunday would be horrendous

That’s nice in theory, but it’s a severe safety concern and all this talk or guarantees is utterly ridiculous.
They shouldn’t have been there in the first place, but money.
They shouldn't even be there if he or any of them are going to start claiming some moral compass.
fecking torturers and murderers. The Rulers, not just the freedom fighting terrorists.
Also that.
Is it terrorism when Saudi Arabia are bombing the feck out of Yemen? They targeted an oil depot. They shouldn’t be racing there fullstop.
You beat me to it but yes, why are we even going to watch any of it? I won't be.
No chance.
I’m sick to the back teeth of sport washing, one of the reasons why I’m so fed up with football too.
I agree with both of you, there should be no Saudi race.
Even of they could guarantee the missiles would be intercepted, who would want to go to a race where people were potentially shooting missiles at the track? It shouldn't even be a decision if there's any chance of the track being targeted it should be called off. As usual, this will probably be left to the drivers to make the decision for them.
That's not even getting into the ethics of being there in the first place.
Fully agree with you.
Shame Vettel isn’t there this week.
I have decided I am not watch this weekend.
I will post the results of qualifying and the race, but nothing else.
This is all I can do, I dont want to watch and risk seeing something horrendous happen.
IMHO the race should be cancelled, the risk is too great for all that are there.

Shouldn't go ahead on the grounds of driver/team/spectator safety and the myriad of Saudi human rights abuses.
