Jeddah GP... unbelievable
Here we go. Hold races in shithole countries.
Apparently theres been a Houthi missile attack on an Aramco oil depot just down the road from the track.

They need to get out of there now and tell em to stick their blood money up their arse!
FP2 delayed for now, it'll be interesting to see if this goes ahead.

Re: Jeddah GP... unbelievable
F1 is a bit of a joke organisation really….
Trying to make the right noises and telling everyone that staging their circus in these absolute shitholes is bringing the human rights abuses to the forefront, but they just can’t shake themselves away from the obscene amounts of money that it brings into their tent.
NOT going, and calling the countries (and governments/rulers) out publicly and stating clearly why they won’t race there UNTIL they change will do far more than the nothing they achieve by going and making the odd diplomatic statement.

After last season, it’s hard to believe anyone would have any interest in F1

You could either watch Colne road of an evening or the M65 at certain times for the same entertainment value of F1.

Digging out my old Scalectric out would be more fun than watching a GP on telly.
I can cheat secretly too and not get any bad press.
