That would only have made it worse. The problem is not the tyres or the cars or drivers not being able to handle the rain on the track, the problem is that these current cars throw up so insanely much spray that it's just impossible to see anything. That might have been 'cool' in the 70's and 80's, but luckily some things do change.

Dietrich Mateschitz, the founder of the Red Bull group of companies, has died aged 78.

Yeah, there were some reports of his ill health in the last few weeks. The question remains whether the Red Bull co-founder's son is a racing fan too? Red Bull has sponsored many other sport events, not just motor racing.

Alonso car almost like a kite today… that was scary. Heavy crash at the big speed in the middle of the straight.

Well, it was about time Lance Stroll reminded everyone he's only riding his daddy's wallet in F1...

Red Bull Show Run, featuring Perez, is currently taking place less than 300 meters from my office.

 

I would like to attend, but besides my work duties, it is already too crowded as it is a free event and  people not only from the city, but also from neighbouring states are in attendance.

 

My work colleagues couldn’t find a parking space in a 500m radius. Luckily for me, I ride the bus as I live only 2k from the office.

Looks like the Sauber buyout has been finalised. Which means Alfa Romeo becomes Audi.

Kevin Magnussen takes a shock pole position at Interlagos after a rain after red flag means nobody can improve times in Q3. It's only pole for the sprint race so it will be hard for Magnussen to even be Top 10 for the Grand Prix itself but in the record books this is an official pole position. It's the first for a Danish driver in F1 and the first for Haas team (Mick Schumacher promptly finished last in Q1 so he can truly leave the series here).
