One of the unexpected problems with cancelled events is too many people who would have racing to pontificate on, have nothing to do but whine about what Max has to say about the FIA rules and the poor quality of racing. I don't give a flying f what David Coulthard has to say, I don't care what Martin Brundle has to say about Max voicing his concerns. Damon Hill's views on Max's views bore me to tears. I especially don't give a rip what Juan Montoya has to say about ANYTHING anymore! IMO any driver who risks his life in this or any other sport they have an intrinsic right to voice their opinions and not be second guess by the talking heads looking for relevance.

While I'm on my soap box. Every F1 blog or F1 news organization has been pontificating about the future FIA rules but as far as I can see other than allowing power train upgrades while in compliance with current regs there is no change. The fact that we have not seen any significant rule changes and it's three weeks to Miami, we have to expect yet another shit show. Lets just hope no one gets hurt or worse.

OK this is good news that doesn't involve the FIA

🚨| Charles Leclerc receives prestigious honour from Prince of Monaco:

— Charles Leclerc has been appointed as a Monaco Goodwill Ambassador in a ceremony led by Prince Albert II. This honor recognizes individuals who enhance Monaco's global reputation, a tradition started by Princess Grace in 1973.

— Leclerc, one of only five F1 drivers to represent Monaco, has achieved all eight of the principality's victories since his 2018 debut. His success on the track has significantly contributed to Monaco's standing in the motorsport world.

— During the ceremony, Prince Albert, a long-time supporter of Leclerc, also presented him with a wedding gift following his recent marriage to Alexandra Saint-Mleux, further highlighting the personal connection between the two.



Lets hope this is not the last award Leclerc gets this year

It's obvious that Coulthard and Hill are taking their chance to jump on the bandwagon to belittle MAX while his car is lagging ignoring the real issue and Mansell at the same time pussy footing..again.. to Hamilton on being world champion this year..so pathetic and I agree it makes us laugh rather than cry
As far as Montoya goes which is not much, he makes no sense whatever he says.

And Andrea Stella moves to Ferrari.

I know you are all shocked that the FIA is ignoring drivers and fans.

Verstappen and Norris won't get their wishes: F1 is happy, no major changes for Miami GP:

— Formula 1 is content with the current regulations and the racing they have produced. It was revealed that fans have rated the racing more positively compared to last year.

— A series of meetings are scheduled to review the opening races and discuss potential minor changes, such as qualifying and safety concerns. However, significant changes are not expected as F1 is satisfied with the current state.

— Lewis Hamilton expressed frustration over drivers' lack of influence in rule-making. Speaking to media, Hamilton remarked:

“The drivers don't have a say, they don't have any power. No power on the... we're not the committee, we have no voting rights. So...”

— Lando Norris shared a similar sentiment, noting that as long as fans enjoy the show, his opinion holds little weight.

— Max Verstappen criticized the current F1 cars, comparing the series to 'Mario Kart' and expressing that it has diminished his passion for the sport.

— Despite drivers not having a direct role in decision-making, their feedback will be considered in upcoming meetings.
