That is true...but I think Ferrari will have no "Fun" if Seb tinkers actual on their Ferraris...View attachment 218478

He might actually improve it lol.

 

[Alexander1970]

It is really "funny"....nobody speaks it out "loud" but Vettel and Aston Martin (Racing Point) are in the "final Phase".....

It seems,Seb is only waiting,if Albon do another "rough blunder" and Horner/Marko "do not have another Choice" then to replace him.....
(..and I do not think they will have a hard time making a Decision...).

As you already mentioned,Amanda,this is possible in Formula 1....

A "Side Note" how "important" the Spielberg Races for Austria/Styria and their Economy were...
https://steiermark.orf.at/stories/3059334/

360 Dismissals at ATB

At the electric motor manufacturer ATB in Spielberg, 360 of around 400 employees are about to quit - that would mean the end of production in the traditional Upper Styrian company.

The Spielberg plant manufactures household and garden equipment - including lawn mowers - but was most recently affected by corona virus-related orders.

According to a spokeswoman, production within Europe is to be relocated. It is not yet possible to say whether and when the machines will be removed. Around 40 employees in research and development, sales and logistics are said to remain in Spielberg - this should probably be the end of the traditional engine production at the site since 1919.
Staff only informed on Friday

In general, the pressure on margins in the industry has increased extremely, the spokeswoman said. The economic outlook was extremely poor, and sales declines were just as bad - this required restructuring.

A large part of the workforce had been on short-time work since April, now around 360 employees have been registered for the early warning system of the Labor Market Service (AMS). The staff was only informed at a company meeting on Friday afternoon. In cooperation with the works council, "solutions" should now be created for the employees.
Chinese owned

The ATB has been 100 percent owned by the Chinese Wolong Group since autumn 2011. Before that, the ATB, which had existed in various forms for almost 100 years, was owned by Mirko Kovats and Christian Schmidt, among others. For example, the ATB has plants in Welzheim, Mönchengladbach and Nordenham in Germany as well as in the English cities of Leeds and Norwich, as well as in Wuhan and Shaoxing in China; there are further locations in Tarnow, Poland, Eindhoven, the Netherlands, and Subotica in Vojvodina, which belongs to Serbia. The company employs around 3,500 people worldwide.

[Alexander1970]

What a "coincidence" - Perez is in isolation because Corona is suspected - test is still pending ...

The Racing Point driver was not allowed to go on the track after an unsuccessful Corona test on Thursday. After the unclear result, Perez had to go to the test again and remain in isolation until it was evaluated.



For Remember:

The Exit/exchange Clause/Option in Perez Formula 1 Contract with Racing Point ends on July 31, 2020 .....

Sky F1 just announced he has failed two tests now and is definitely out of Sundays race. Rumour is Stoffel Vandoorne will replace him.

 

[Alexander1970]

Confirmed,he is out...and I fear not only for this Weekend....a very unfortunate "Coincidence" for him....this could maybe the End of his Racing Point Career...and maybe also for Formula 1...

Yes,it is too "early" for Seb to take his Cockpit on the Weekend.

He should still offer to do it so as he can race in a decent car this weekend

Someone from the "Mercedes-Squad" so also Esteban Gutierrez is a "Choice".
Stoffel has an Formula E Race this Weekend...

Where would you rather race given the opportunity F1 or shitty Formula E?

Plus they will need someone for next weekend as its the law here in the UK that anyone with Covid must self isolate for 10 days so Sergio can't race next weekend as well.

Noooo,that Series is great,Amanda.

When I hear that "Engine Sound" from that Cars,I would like to use some Bug Spray on the Monitor....

 

[AmandaRose]

I think you are right @alexander1970 we maybhave seen the last of Perez this season. Spain are now saying they will probably refuse him entry into the country for the Barcelona GP

Haha it must suck to be Hulk knowing he was the third choice. They couldn't get Stoffel because of Formula E then the TV here said they asked Esteban Gutierrez and he stupidly said no then they asked Hulk

 

[Alexander1970]

They couldn't get Stoffel because of Formula E

Did I also have won Tomatoes ?

the TV here said they asked Esteban Gutierrez and he stupidly said no

I think there is more behind of his "No"......

 

[AmandaRose]

[AmandaRose]

Lando's got a new helmet for the weekend.

It was designed by Eva, aged 6, and I love it.

 

[Alexander1970]

I hope it helps him.

Alpha Tauri seems to be on the "Fast Lane"......
