Not at all. Had about 10 minutes to spare. Too much going on right now. Supposed to be semi-retired but I am as busy as I have ever been with four consulting engagements. Starting a new business, but as I said, supposed to be semi-retired. On top of all that, downsizing and decluttering in anticipation of moving to a new house under construction. Probably will move in Jan.

Congrats on everything - but that's a busy life.
I can relate - I'm working on the opportunity-of-a-lifetime at work right now. Close to making ti happen. I'm on vacation this week...have a 1:30 meeting today and two meetings tomorrow. :(
BUT
If it happens, it will ALL be worth it.
So I can relate, but appreciate you posting when you can!!!

Could the Porsche/Red Bull deal be off? :eek:
https://www.gpfans.com/en/f1-news/91047/red-bull-porsche-deal-off/
Porsche is also undertaking an IPO presently. (https://robbreport.com/motors/cars/volkswagen-porsche-ipo-confirmed-1234746400/)
I suspect they will eventually find a team. But maybe they have too many irons in the fire for now. I know that there are other manufacturers rumored to be interested. I don't know how F1 can avoid not increasing the field. Regardless of how Toto feels about it.

When I first heard the rumors I wondered if Honda regretted getting out when they did...perhaps returning soonre rather than later.
I'm completely making that up in my own mind, but it was the first thing I thought of.
Interesting times.

Marko: Red Bull already attracting interest after ending Porsche F1 talks (https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/red-bull-manufacturer-interest-ending-porsche-talks/10366213/)
“We don't need anyone at the moment,” Marko told Austrian radio station OE3.
“But if it turns out that synergies and advantages come, then we are open.
“But surprisingly, we have received some inquiries now that the Porsche cancellation has become official.”
What's next for Porsche and Red Bull after collapsed F1 deal (https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/whats-next-for-porsche-and-red-bull-after-collapsed-f1-deal/10366100/)
Actually, all of these probably deserve their own thread as this if far from over...

DeVries replaces Albon for the weekend. Albon has appendicitis.

One word that comes to mind to sum up the entire Monza weekend... Anticlimactic...
It's valid for F3, F2 and F1... Shame for such a wonderful old track...

Yeah, I mean - the F1 Stewards get the IndyCar award today for taking an eternity to clear a 1-car non-crash incident to get back under green.
Congratulations to Max...I guess...

Evidently driving fast in a Williams is erratic :p
Underwhelmed.
I agree. One of the hand full of F1 tracks I look forward to each season, with a race that was playing out nicely with different strategies only to be mucked up at the end.

As a RIC fan, the end was so sad. He was a lion yesterday. Someone was in his DRS every single lap that DRS was active, and the only spots he gave up were to people on much, much better tires, and Sainz (in a much better car). No mistakes, no bobbles, no lockups.
DeVries replaces Albon for the weekend. Albon has appendicitis.
On Monday Williams announced that Albon suffered "complications which led to respiratory failure" after the procedure, which meant Albon had to be re-intubated and moved to the San Gerardo hospital's intensive care unit.

OK, cognoscenti. Driver or because Williams is now "under new ownership" and they might be providing better equipment?

Better car. Albon is doing pretty well also.
