The Southern Charms Fan Box

Spot On.

Did you see that Gerhard Berger's Ferrari F512M Testarossa, carjacked at the 1995 San Marino Grand Prix, was recovered in London? It seems that someone in Japan had had it. Foolish. A car like that will always be 'hot' and can never be sold openly!

The cops and insurance investigators are still looking for Jean Alesi gray Ferrari 355.

Yes - that was on the news in the UK!

I get a lot of my news from the BBC!

LOL

In yesterday's F1 Oliver Bearman stole the show. Fantastic. And he is only 18...

He looks like a kid on our local high school fishing team, and has already driven for Ferrari?!? I hope he keeps improving with age and doesn't flame out!

Hope he gets a full time seat next year...

I have a question...

Was Nikita Mazepin any good as a driver, or was he just a nepo baby? And, if he is a fast driver, do you think anyone is going to hire him?
I am somehow doubting Hass will!

The (Russian) gentleman you refer to was not up to scratch for F1.

I saw where Bahrain is (finishing!) taking over McLaren's auto manufacturing too. I guess the last few years were hard on it? lol... then I stumbled on a story from last fall about 5 McLarens in a pack being busted going 100mph+ on your A303.

I have a personal McLaren story!

Last year I was driving back from a day spent running errands in one of the local cities I live between, and have such things as good medical care, book stores, and all the stuff that cities have. And, as I was working my slow way out through the rush hour traffic and remembering why I love living in the woods, my passenger was looking at the car in front of us, and then his phone a lot. Suddenly he announced that I was way WAY to close too it, and I should back off NOW.

"Why???"

"Because that is a McLaren. Yeah, so? So that car used is worth more than TWICE everything, including your house, that you own. Oh."

I backed off. And let a couple of cars in between us.

Very - VERY - wise...

I was just stunned that anyone would drive a quarter million dollar car in bumber-to-bumper rush hour traffic.

Although I am a fan of Fernando Alonso today, I am very happy for Carlos Sainz victory.

LOL... I was starting to get the idea that only Max was allowed to win!
It must be infuriating for your multi-million (£, $, whatever!) car catch fire because your brakes are messed up!

BRAVO Carlos!

From hospital to a race win. A Fairytale!

Does anyone want to make a guess as to who win this year?

Max a cert for the championship. Charles and Carlos will win a few. Merc *might* win something. Also - a dark horse will get a win. Probably Aston.

No wins by Hamilton?
