I just have a hunch that Mercedes is playing with Horner.
Playing field levelled. Mind games is all that’s left in Wolff’s arsenal

Or, I’m smoking some good stuff

PS: I don’t smoke🚭

The highlights are usually on channel 4 Besoeker. I usually record it so I can wind through the many adverts. I just avoid the news until I can watch it. They are allowed to show a couple live, with no adverts during the race.

The strategic comment was around Mercedes Visitor.

You remember Kayalami

Yes it’s still in use but no upcoming events due to the pandemic.

The new 4.522km Grand Prix circuit has been certified by the Federation International de l'Automobile (FIA) as a Grade 2 race track, conforming to stringent international safety and quality standards. Kyalami is the only current motor racing facility on the African continent to have been bestowed with such prestigious accreditation.

Appreciated Mrs Minx.
I recall the track on the way from Pretoria. Some things I can remember but the Aphasia is very frustrating for me.
Apologies.

I don't know the McLaren drivers, but Lando Norris seems in a good position so far.
My late OH worked for McLaren for several years in the 60's/70's. Bruce was a lovely man.
