Jenson Button Is Formula One's Most Honest Man-December 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:40

“I don’t know what’s worse,” McLaren Formula One driver Jenson Button told Sky Sports after retiring from the Austrian Grand Prix with engine problems. “Doing the race thirty seconds off pace or stopping on Lap 2!” (McLaren, in case you were wondering, is .)

Teammate Fernando Alonso had his fourth retirement of the season right at the start of the race due to an with Kimi Räikkönen’s Ferrari. Both teammates were hoping to at least get some data to use to develop and improve their unreliable Honda power units, but that’s not going to happen at the Red Bull Ring today.

Dakar Team Finishes The Last 24 Miles Of The Day With Only Two Front Tires

Of Course F1 Is Backpedaling On Getting Rid Of Grid Girls
Formula One’s use of grid girls is still “under review,” but instead of deciding whether to axe the concept altogether, F1 will try to make grid girls “more relevant” to competition. This weak and complacent move was, of course, going to happen the whole time. It was silly of us...
