Zandvoort Pre-Race Thread

Nice. Does not appear a day for suncream and a lounger

 

How desperately stupid must you be to get this tattoo'd? Friend of a friend. Apparently it's actually real.

EDIT: Oh god it gets worse. The guy isn't even an F1 fan. He's only attending the event and never really watches a race.

Is it ever over there?

 

Oh yes true lol Looks like a neat club.

 

We were lucky today, as (almost) residents of Zandvoort, we were able to get some free tickets and access the track today. Very unexpected and so cool!

Is Toto & team at it again?

S.O.P. for these two organizations. Lots of accusations and deflections to eliminate any perceived (or real) advantage. The finger-pointing is a bit tiring.

 

Every team in F1 pushes every rule to the 99% broken level, 1 more % and they would be afoul of the rules, but at 99% they are <ahem> comfortably inside the rule of law.

 

A highly experienced racer I knew said if you're never accused of cheating then you're not trying hard enough.

 

Well, I guess this really is my lucky day! A friend just gave me tickets for saturday and sunday. We’ll be sitting at the end of the straight at the beginning of the Tarzanbocht. Holy ****!

Easily fixed by installing a sensor to see if it's true or not. Just like the FIA did for Ferrari whenever a team opened their mouth (mercedes, red bull) in 2018 (2 sensors!) and 2019. If Merc is adamant they're playing by the rules, they shouldn't have a single issue with this...right?

Lucky basterd. My friends (all Zandvoort residents) who bought 3 year tickets aren't allowed to go...Bloody painful that is, seeing as they can hear the cars from their homes but now allowed to see any of it! Enjoy it!

Good for you, just find out today whether these are tickets that will actually be valid, you surely know that 30% of them are invalidated by the Covid 70% spectator limit. Have fun

Glory years.

 

Cheers to a good race....it's a tight track for modern cars but the warm up laps show hitting a stride.

Thanks to all, that have posted the wonderful pictures!

Also for the Track Graphic and broadcast schedule, very helpful
