    If it seems like Verstappen whines the most at the moment, it's because
    the microphone is in front of him most often.

    In fairness, he had just had half of his side-pod ripped open through no
    fault of his own. However, he does seem to have forgotten some of the sharp-elbowed moves he used to pull when he was GR's age.

    Phil

    In a car significantly faster than Russell's (faster than everyone
    except Sergio), and with the confidence of his ability to pass everyone
    -- even in a sprint race -- one might have opted to discretion on those
    opening laps. So I might suggest that perhaps having his sidepod ripped
    open was, to some degree, a fault of his own.

    And yes, Max does have a bit of a history of getting his elbows out.
    Beauty -- and fault -- lies in the eye of the beholder.

    A racing incident.

    Russell had clearly gained enough overlap to be allowed room at the apex.

    He got it.

    Verstappen was clearly entitle to room on the outside...

    ...but Russell's car understeered a little too much.

    Could he have slowed a little and missed Verstappen? Yeah... ...almost certainly.

    But the judgment was too fine to call.

    I've got a hernia.

    Driving the car I could probably do.

    Prepping the car.

    Loading the trailer.

    Unloading the trailer.

    Not so much.

    I know those feelings very, very well.
    And it just keeps getting tougher as you get older.

    Good news is I've now got the Stohr rocket car,
    the Elden, and the 962 sold. It would be nice to
    finish 'neatening up' and get the last one sold.
    If not, well, guess then it's someone else's problem !!!

    As you know, I've generally attacked the big ICSCC schedule.
    I'm missing this years opener at Portland.
    I do intend on doing our / IRDC first race at Pacific Raceways.

    Thanks.

    I've got surgery schedule for May 11...

    ...which means I'll miss our Vintage weekend (May 13-14)...

    ...and depending on recovery time, I might miss the May 27-28 weekend.

    Oh dear, I'm sorry but no.

    It is only possible to be racist if you're white and you say/do
    something black or brown people don't like. It is not possible to be
    racist against white people and/or Jewish people.

    Ask Diane Abbott she's the expert on all this along with most of the
