 Well I don't know.  :DntKnw:
Go away for a weekend and forget to update race selections.  :fool:
It's ironic really as I'm currently hobbling around on crutches waiting on a new hip!
It was a good race though and KA is exceptional it was also good to see LH up there but disappointing with the McLarens.
Bring on Monaco.

Good luck with the new hip Andy. I know several people that's
had it done and improved their life.   I usually enter my picks and
never update as my scores show

All the best with your pitstop for chassis, or should that be track rod ball joint, improvements Andy.  ;)

I updated my picks 2 hours before start for Canada and scored less than if I left it alone.  :fool:

Been there Andy, had replacement due to a break and then 10years later a acetabular revision. alls good and no arthritis. If your replacement is due to wear and tear should be life changing. Good luck with that.
As for Canada in May, lucky it wasn't snowing or flooding. A bit of a toss up.

Continuing to loose respect for GR. Having a tantrum on track is beyond childish but at least he didn't lash out at the trackside dudes. Rooting for KIMI and Lewis. Go Arvid (future star). We go from the excitement of Montreal to the event in Monaco, might just watch the highlites unless it rains.

Watched highlights of the WEC 6 hours at Spa and found it more interesting than recenr F1. 7 manufacturers were genuinely competitive and there were a ton of legit lead changes. Not sure how their hybrid works, it seems they have to pit to get charged up. Maybe  the F1 people and the WEC people should get together on the rules.

I like WEC too but are they going too far down the electric route too?

According to what I've been reading, sales of electric cars are dropping. A hybrid makes more sense to me than a pure electric. Electrics are great around town, but towns can be far apart in the western US and most electrics don't have a lot of range. I'd prefer not to spend a couple hours in Blythe recharging on my way to LA. WEC have smaller batteries and seemingly a quick charge system. When their "energy" gets low, they pit and top up. I think electrics of one kind or another are here to stay, but I think racing doesn't need to be green.  :DntKnw:

I totally agree, we hired a car in Aussie and they gave us a hybrid which was fine around town but as soon as we were out on the open road having a smaller engine it used more fuel as the battery didn't last long. EV's are no greener than petrol or diesel cars to build and being greener when running depends on how the electricity was generated.
