No worries, The final question was a bit evil I have to admit. I was surpsied by ocon being first lap gained have to say.

Yes, I did think that was a toss up between Alonso and Seb. Ocon going under the radar there.

That F-E question really did have me stumped. I was wracking my brains trying to think of someone that might have stepped in for one race.

F1 news - jeddah corniche to remain the Saudi gp venue till 2027 due to delays in construction of the replacement (which is part of neom project iirc)

Personally I like the jeddah corniche circuit and am glad it's staying and would rather street circuits like that, baku and Macau than monaco and miami

I agree with this. Jeddah is a fun circuit. Good action

Apparently Red Bull, Ferrari and Mercedes will all stick to their respective side pod designs.

I don't actually mind Hill, he's also been around since the start of Sky F1.

Made a few changes to driver numbers. Also alcoholic will be joining mp in the 2nd car, copying premas line up from last year.
Also Arjun's brother Kush brother is in F2 this year, not him. Funny enough kush means happy in hindi. Its a shame he and Daruvala aren't in the same team else we'd have have happy alcoholic in the team :lol:

Carlin have also been taken over by a New Zealand sports car firm called Rodin (Trevor and stepahie Carlin still run the team).

In terms of the grid for this season in F2, there are 9 rookies on the grid.
Looking at driver academy breakdowns, there are:
6 Red Bull juniors (hauger, both Carlins and hitechs and Iwasa),
2 ferrari juniors (bearman and leclerc)
2 sauber juniors (pourchaire and correa)
2 alpine juniors (doohan and Martins)
1 mercedes junior (Vesti)
1 Williams driver (Nissany).
Daruvala has been dropped by RB and the rest are indies
