From the official event notes - Track limits for the race this weekend will be defined solely by the white lines, no exceptions anywhere

What a novel idea

Curfew...WTF?

The "curfew" relates to the fact that the paddock is closed to mechanics / staff overnight - to stop teams working non-stop on the cars. I think it has to be closed for 9 hours or something (haven't read the latest rules). Teams can "break" this rule only few times a year. Usually it is when there is some sort of crash in FP1 or FP2 and they need to fix up the car overnight etc. Or I imagine if for example someone like Haas (on a GP weekend) had transport issues like they had getting to Testing, then a team might be granted some sort of exemption from the rule so they can get the car built overnight to be read for FP1.

And another driver criticises DTS.

Sergio Perez: F1 Netflix series 'probably gone too far' in 2021 season​


Red Bull driver Sergio Perez doubts he will participate in the next season of the Netflix documentary Drive to Survive after saying the latest one had "probably gone too far" in dramatizing the 2021 F1 season.

"I really thought that they had the best season in Formula One [to work with] and I feel like they probably missed out a bit in the story and the way they presented it," Perez said ahead of the opening race of the 2022 season in Bahrain.

"They tried to create too much drama, which the season already had -- the season had enough drama, you know?

"They've probably gone too far in this last season. I thought it was going to be the best season, but to be totally honest I haven't finished [watching] it."

Verstappen further elaborates in the article, echoing what Lando Norris said regarding the portrayal of his relationship with Ricciardo.

"Lando and Daniel are two great people I know -- they have really great characters and immediately at the second episode it looks like they are not very friendly to each other, and for me that's not correct and that's why I'm also not a part of it."

Drivers with COVID should be allowed to race, says Perez

Sergio Perez, one of the first drivers to test positive for COVID, believes drivers having contracted the virus should still be allowed to race.

I would have thought that a Covid symptoms even if subtle, would impact their Reaction Time and Balance and endanger not only themselves but other Drivers on the Track. I am surprised that a seasoned driver even suggested that any one not in peak physical condition be allowed to race..

Who is the South African coloured woman on Sky F1 discussing the cars?
I think she was called 'Naomi'? Also a racing driver apparently.
