• Andy B: Hi Wiz, I have tried to make a donation using my UK bank account but PayPal will not accept the card as I live in NZ and have a UK card? This is not your problem but is there a way I can just pay directly with a Visa card?

• Wizzo: GPW will be down from approximately 13:30 tomorrow until the migration to the new server is complete. Once the site is "live" on the new server it could take another 24-48 hours to become accessible to all users.

Heroes

Lewis Hamilton.  I've never seen anyone recover from a crash like that, in a gravel trap, and finish a solid second place.  Even the people running live timing counted him out!

Max Verstappen.  Fantastic start.  Running in a commanding lead on a wet track can lead to inattention which could have easily lead to a DNF, so keeping his head the whole time, especially in his Fastest Lap duel with Hamilton at the end, that's a 'hero' to me.

Lando Norris.  Put in a great race.  Finishing third in a wet race is an accomplishment no matter who you are.  Holding off Lewis Hamilton in a faster car for even a few laps is also about as heroic as a race car driver can do.

Ferrari.  Looks like they've got things turned around from last year.  Understanding they're not looking at wins, much less a championship, seems to have evened things out.

Yuki Tsunoda.  He's driving like a rookie, taking chances that he really doesn't need to, but he's not endangering other racers, so he's taking SMART chances.  Once he gets a feel for what it takes to race an F1 car, he's going to have a bright future.

Zeroes

George Russell.  I know that an F1 race is a series of split second decisions, and a drying track makes things even harder, but expecting two Mercedes to take the wet line on the same lap just isn't good racecraft.

Alpine.  Don't feel like they're ready to race with the big boys yet.  Alonso is looking disappointingly average.

Honourable mention.

Mazepin has already finished more races than I expected this season.

First piece of news from Imola - pit entry resurfacing was photographed 4 hours ago. Yes, the first practise session is on Friday...

The FIA announced Tuesday that all 3 free practice sessions and quali for Imola will be moved forward 1 hour. This is being done as a mark of respect to the Royal funeral for His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, that will take place on Saturday.

The new schedule (all times listed are track time)

Friday:
FP1:  11:00 - 12:00
FP2:  14:30 - 15:30

Saturday:
FP3:  11:00 - 12:00
Quali:14:00 - 15:00

Sunday:
Race: 15:00 - 17:00

Should be simple - the present F1 cars must be fastest surely?

Well this article from Motorsport mag has one or two suprises.

I enjoyed reading it in this waiting time between GPs, hope you find it interesting too.

Who knew there was so much going on with this almost mystical element of race cars?     Not me - anyways!!!

R.I.P. your Royal Highness. You stood beside our Queen and our country with your steadfast loyalty and service for over 70 years. Memories of your acheivements will not fade lightly. 

So pleased you have honoured His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh's memory by putting his photo on the website Wizzo.

A little something for all of the Macca-philes out there. All drivers who have won Grands Prix in McLarens, from Bruce to Button.

I've been quiet here for the last few months. The main reason is that I've been coding a game called Budacanta, based on a holiday I took to the 2018 Hungarian Grand Prix.

The demo has now launched at Spring Thing 2021, a festival of interactive fiction games. There's 38 games of various kinds, ranging from visual novels like mine to parser-based adventures like those some of you played in the 1980s (yes, there are still people making games like Zork out there). The demo has the first day of what will eventually be 12 days of holidays.

Feel free to enjoy the games, and if you play Budacanta, please do give me feedback so I can improve.
