Sour Formula One Boomer opinion
Ik geef toe ik ben al een tijdje uit de “moderne” Formule 1. Ik volg de sport hier en daar nog maar daar stopt het mee. Echter, het nieuws bericht over de FIA onlangs… ik weet niet waar ze mee bezig zijn maar dit riekt naar waanzin. Geloven jullie nou echt dat 90% van de […]

Het is alweer Maart 2026, de Formule 1 heeft afscheid genomen van het oude reglement en per 2026 een nieuwe geïntroduceerd. Eentje waarbij de wagens een stuk kleiner zijn, waarbij de techniek minder complex zou moeten zijn, meer actie op de baan. Daardoor zien we Cadillac en Audi nu op de grid (onder Ulrich Wolfgang […]

I do not understand Sim Racing anymore, or is it SIM Racing? Perhaps I am turning in some old dude that yells towards a cloud in the sky. Properly balling his fist towards it. People are so fanatic and serious about it these days. Whatever happened with the days of the Hot Laps for the […]

Dear Mohammed Ben Sulayem today i saw your comment on my feeds. At first I believed I miss read it. Nope, that was not the case. You were quoted that you don’t understand that a single driver and team principal earn more money than the whole FIA does. Maybe you forgot, the FIA is a […]

There is no undertone in the statement; all I would like to see is Maurizio Arrivabene to replace Mohammed Ben Sulayem as president of the FIA. Most of all, because Sulayem just ruined it with his current state of ruling the FIA. Sure, his announcement of the return of the V10 engines in the F1 […]

What seems to be the biggest illusion since they simple “disappeared” as sponsor from Haas F1, became reality. The Myth, The Legend it is for real. Because I’m one of the few to have it, to be able to smell, taste and enjoy it. Indeed, I’m talking about Rich Energy, the energy drink that fits […]
