Ya know i just thought about this. if there is truly a major rift between newey and horner, they used to (and maybe still do) have their offices next to each other (and share an executive assistant). this must have been fun....

A while ago I posted that some folks might like to meet up in Abu Dhabi for 2025. I've since discovered that Celestyal Cruise Lines has a 2024 Abu Dhabi Formula One offering. Roundtrip Dubai, December 2 to 9.
This is not a deluxe cruise line. It rescues venerable ships before they hit the breakers and refurbishes them. What it provides is a place to stay and get a 7-night cruise for less than what 3 nights in the race city would cost. Plus you see a couple of other ports and get all your food while onboard.
I called last week and, to my surprise, cabins in all categories were available. 2024 is the only year they are doing it. Obviously because it isn't selling well. MSC and other cruise lines have similar offers that cost 2 to 3 time as much. You buy your own F1 tickets and, *I believe* have to make your own way to the track.
Celestyal is doing the same thing for Qatar just prior. Roundtrip Dubai, November 25 to December 2.
The website is especially poor but if you call them, you'll get someone in the US.

Alpine announce further team changes as Flavio Briatore returns in Executive Advisor role
https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article/alpine-announce-further-team-changes-as-flavio-briatore-returns-in-executive.14mfyaJthQ4dBCx36Kpl6q
:laugh:
And in case you only remember him from crashgate, consider this…
Briatore was convicted of multiple counts of fraud in the 1980s, receiving two prison sentences.[1][6][7][8] In 1984, a court in Bergamo found him guilty of various counts of fraud and he was fined and sentenced to one year and six months in prison.[6] The sentence was subsequently reduced to one year by a court of appeal in 1988.[9] In 1986, in Milan, Briatore was sentenced to three years for fraud and conspiracy for his role in a team of confidence tricksters who, over a number of years, set up rigged gambling games using fake playing cards. The judges described these as elaborate confidence tricks, in which victims were invited to dinner and then "ensnared" in rigged games that involved a cast of fictional characters and realised enormous profits for their perpetrators.[10] After an appeal in 1987, the sentence was reduced to one year and two months.[11] To avoid imprisonment, Briatore lived as a fugitive in Saint Thomas, Virgin Islands.[12] He never went to prison and returned to the EU after both convictions were extinguished by amnesty.[13][14] In 2010, a Turin court ordered Briatore rehabilitated, which by Italian Criminal Code results in the extinction "of any criminal effect of the conviction".[15]

WHAT WAS REALLY BEHIND THE FIA'S F1 ASYMMETRIC BRAKE RULE CHANGE (https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/what-was-really-behind-the-fias-f1-asymmetric-brake-rule-change/10645992/)
Formula 1 Season Resumes After Summer Break; ESPN Viewership Pacing Ahead of 2023 (https://espnpressroom.com/us/press-releases/2024/08/formula-1-season-resumes-after-summer-break-espn-viewership-pacing-ahead-of-2023/#:~:text=After%20the%20first%2014%20races,1.21%20m illion%20set%20in%202022.)
After the first 14 races of the season, live F1 race telecasts are averaging 1.2 million viewers across ESPN, ESPN2 and ABC, an increase over last year’s full-season average of 1.1 million. The 2023 season was the second most-viewed ever on U.S. television, following the record average of 1.21 million set in 2022.
ESPN’s viewership this season has steadily grown since the first five races of the season, which were affected by schedule changes. The first two races (Bahrain, Saudi Arabia) were on Saturday mornings rather than the usual Sunday, and the next three (Australia, Japan, China) were held in overnight hours. The Japan and China races were not held early in the season last year.
Among superlatives so far this season:
The Miami Grand Prix in May was the most-viewed live F1 race ever on U.S. television with an average audience of 3.1 million for the race portion of the ABC telecast.
The Monaco Grand Prix in May on ABC set an event record with an average of 1.965 million viewers.
The Canadian Grand Prix in June on ABC set an event record with an average of 1.8 million viewers.
The British Grand Prix in June set an event record with 1.3 million average viewers, also the largest audience ever for a live F1 race on ESPN2.
Five consecutive races had year-over-year viewership gains: Japan, Miami, Monaco, Canada and Spain. (China and Imola were not run in 2023). The audience for the Austrian Grand Prix was essentially even with 2023 and the Belgian Grand Prix audience was slightly down.
