John Privett Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Look on the positive side folks... At least we'll all come out of the first GP weekend of the year in equal TOP place. I do wonder how long we'll remain there though. It may be some time... At work we've already had an international travel ban in place, and now even travel between our UK offices is only to be permitted in business-critical circumstances. We are being strongly encouraged to work from home where we can. My sister is on a cruise that went through half the Panama Canal today. Panama (the country) refused to allow them to leave the ship so they are now en route to the next port - if they will accept them. Their cruise line announced today they are abandoning all cruises for the next 2 months. The cruise they are on will continue - if it can - to its final port, others are being cut short. We are living in unusual times right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McG 6969 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Hi all, Well john, it's not officially cancelled yet. Announcement to be made tomorrow morning Aussie time before FP1. But then the drivers already voted against it... With or without a race, it looks like the 'eternal' fight between John S & Igor has started already... What is a "Jonah"... ??? BTW, I like that Dune Beetle in Gulf colours in Robin's game. Cheers Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McG 6969 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 I really don't have a bit of time left to study the Bible, Don. I'm currently trying to build a Sabre Dog for the PSSA Mass Build and it takes all my free time. As I mentioned in my blog, the beast really starts to look like a 'whale'... maybe I should nickname it "Jonah" or "Jonas" in French... thanks for the idea, John.

McG 6969 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 No surprise indeed, John. In fact that 'official' announcement took that long to be published, just because there was a big 'struggle' between the parties involved about WHO was officially going to take the decision... Victoria's Health Administration? FIA? FOM (Carey was still heading back from Vietnam)? GPDA? ... Apparently mega important regarding claims, insurances, legal jurisdiction, 'force majeure' or not? Obviously all of it cash related - millions of $ involved - and absolutely nothing to do with health or wellfare... After McLaren's withdraw, Toto (shareholder of Mercedes F1) also decided not to participate and announced that his team was starting to 'pack-up' right away... Red Bull also announced that they were heading back for Europe and would not be in Bahrain... Let's keep an eye on Liberty Media's shares value on the NYSE... Not a great start anyhow, but safety and health first. Cheers Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McG 6969 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 I'm really wondering about that rebate you could obtain from Sky, Barry. But then you could join this group for FREE... We're just a bunch of 'slightly' disturbed guys. OK, there are John S & Iqon always battling about their position in the rankings. There is Ade (Flyer) taking care of his 'octopi' as they will give him the best possible predictions There is Pete who always pretend his (costly) visits to Barcelona or Paul Ricard don't bring him a clue forward. And of course, there is John P - our own Bernie - who drives on the Canadian GP track as a tourist, but also provides us splendid reports of his Scandinavian cruises... ... and still free to join... you even have some time left now to settle down comfortably...

Cheers Chris Too busy driving or flashing up the barby to do any worthwhile research, Chris, I assure you I was so pleased to be able to get the F1TV 'all races live' subscription at a sensible price here in France this year too...... Now I think I'm looking forward to a refund on my Spanish ticket with the way things are going - and possibly Austria too... Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McG 6969 Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 ... Gaston asked me to thank you, John. I can agree with that, Pete. "Flashing up the barby" is obviously a lot more important than doing some silly "research" out there... Hoping for the best with your refunds if needed.
