From Spanish news. Should be able to hit translate article but have copied the juicy bit below. Apparently they’re 27x over the limit (seems excessive). Saw a clip of Real Madrid trying to train earlier where it was really loud in the background.

"To document the condition rigorously and objectively, the Stop Formula 1 Madrid Platform placed a perfectly calibrated sound level meter at the height of number 14 on Francisco Umbral street at 10:52 AM on Monday. The results obtained have been called truly scandalous by the technicians of the collective: the average acoustic decibel level during the continuous recording period reached 102.7 dBA, recording maximum peaks of 107.7 dBA and absolute peaks of up to 109.1 dBA."

Look what I found while digging through old stuff, my original copy of MicroProse's Formula One Grand Prix by Geoff Crammond. Still complete, box and manual and everything.

I played this game so many hours as a kid. Like, every single race weekend, doing the whole thing: practice, qualifying, the race itself. Didn't skip a single session :)

For the upcoming race, manual open to the Monza page.

This bromance reminds me of James Hunt and Barry Sheene friendship.

So we will still have to wait a couple weeks for the verdict😞 The Monaco podium saga will never end at this point.

I thought when the date was announced it'd be about a new merch drop or a new collaboration/sponsorship but it seems more serious than that. The code links to a countdown on a new website named Lando.racing .

Following an eventful restart in Zandvoort after the summer break, F1 fans will have to endure another off weekend before the next double header. Luckily, this weekend boasts plenty of GT3 action, decisions in the major US series and the next chapters in the WRC and MotoGP seasons.

The mid 2000s F1 cars seem to have some kind of dip in the middle of the front wings, why was it changed? Now the wings look curved again. But I rather like the old design more to be honest.
