drat, I actually kinda miss the days of the comedy backmarker teams, that brief shining period when the track was clogged graced by the likes of Good Lotus, Virgin/Marussia/Manor/whoever and Hormone Rescue Team.

One of their drivers can’t even complete 107% of a race lap though

last weekend was one of the first times I went out and about for a while and I saw a dude in a train station wearing a Caterham-Renault era quarter-zip sweatshirt. I was stunned.

Oof. Just saw news (thanks, Taki Inoue!) that non-EU visitors to Italy will have to stay in quarantine isolation for 14 days after arrival. (5 days for visitors from other EU countries.) FP1 at Imola starts in 17 days. The UK-based teams are going to have to get ready to go right now.

Still, Italy's beautiful at this time of year. So they'll have something to look at from the window of their Holiday Inn. (Probably Binotto cruising past in his Ferrari convertible, waving.)

It’s about 5 1/2 x 3 1/2, with larger quilts I tend to do big blocks and then back it with a sheet.

Tablecloth and headboard cover, I’m not super awesome talented but it’s a cool thing to do with F1 tv on in the background on a lazy Sunday.

Technically that's closer to the original meaning of quarantine than "let em hang out in a hotel in town"

Isn't everyone in F1 technically a Swiss or Monegasque citizen? Or is that just the drivers/principals?

I've done some image analysis of the leclerc A/Vs and there's a somewhat disturbing yet interesting detail here. I'll post more about it when I have more proof, but for now some posters know what I'm talking about and are probably nervous about it.

I am fairly sure at least checo will, max will inevitably wall out and unless merc is still sandbagging or bahrain is a uniquely lovely track specifically for mercedes it's not out of the cards

There’s a lot of mix of (mostly) European staff, but it might impact Japanese staff (like at Honda) and specifically it sounds like it effects everyone who is working in the UK.

Unless there’s an exception for elite sports, which might be the case.

Huh. The UK has a 10 day quarantine-on-entry period, and Italy now has 14 day for non-EU people. From what I can see, at least some UK-based team members (drivers/mechanics) are coming back to the UK after Bahrain so uhhh how do they get to Italy in 16 days when they have a mandated 24 days of quarantine ahead of them?
