Monza

Monza il prossimo weekend del Formula uno Grand premio -- Viva L'Italia -- Monza Milano vicino Arese,  Ferrari fa schifo -- che cazzo

Were my eyes deceiving more, or was that a red Giulia QV next to the safety car at the back of the grid at the start?

I could be wrong, but it could be a 156 GTA.

And this, if you can squint and work out what it is.

What they said and showed plus CEA Squadra Corse use 42 fire trucks plus 27 4x4's  and 13 FAST RESPONSE including a Ferrari 348, an Alfa 156 3.2 V6 GTA, Alfa 156 SW 3.2 GTA V6, 4 Alfa 156 SW 2.0 JTS 16V.

That's a lot of fire fighters;








They replaced these babies;

I particularly like the Disco 1's.

Well spotted folks. Even better that it was a 156!

This confirms that current F1 is absolute rubbish, when everyone is more excited about a 15 year old safety car than the race.

Sad but true Mick. Yet I still watch most races ... well, the race to the first corner anyway, then I usually snooze until just after the finish.

Regardless, I love that a 15yo GTA is still fanging around Monza on official duties.

Or trying to catch glimpses of a banked circuit hardly used in 50 years...  The race itself of zero interest.

Ok so F1 is about to be sold, $8.4 Billion...to a US Media company! So we can expect more safety, sorry pace cars to bunch the field, more American drivers (we tried this right?), no racing in the wet, shorter races for the American short attention span viewers...

But there is an alternative, phew was worried there for a minute...one of the other suitors looking to buy F1 is...wait for it...the US equity firm that took over the Miami Dolphins!

So can expect driver changes when a team is in attack, and another when needed to defend a position, save fuel...take a penalty etc.?

F1...it's headed for F'd One. Maybe it's already there.

At least there is still GP2. Those guys are a scream to watch pushing each other off the track.
