FORMULA 1 PIRELLI GRAND PRIX DE FRANCE 2018: RACE *** SPOILERS ***

It's probably faster than the Williams and the McLaren.

 

Hartley is in last place, not your fault SPEEDCORE but the graphics designer or whomever.

 

Saudi Arabian woman driver Aseel Alhamad will drive a 2012 F1 car ahead of today's French GP, on the day that women in Saudi are allowed to drive. The car is the E20 that won in Abu Dhabi with Kimi Raikkonen

 

One thing to bear in mind re traffic jams at Ricard. The race fee is €30m, it is said, with half funded by ticket sales and partnerships and half regional bodies. In other words, if embouteillages turn spectators away, it threatens the viability of the race.


I believe 65,000 people were stuck in traffic still for Fridays FP sessions.

 

Conjointly with funding part of the GP, the local authority should have improved the infrastructures.
Access to the Paul Ricard circuit has always been problematic, and has hardly improved in the last 40 years+.
This is France's problem: its circuits are in the middle of nowhere.

 

I hope I can stay up. Stopped drinking coffee today, and it was a "difficult day". lol

 

Was Grojean driving?

 

Happy Race Day. I hope the fans can get to the circuit!!
