The referendum will fail easily, not necessarily because people are against it, but as a protest against a lack of action on cost of living issue such as inflation, lack of affordable housing, lack of wage growth vs inflation and extremely high immigration which exacerbates these issues.

In my line of work I'm dealing with a rapidly increasing amount of frustrated people 35 and under who are just going nowhere financially.

Whincup did the qualifying?

Surely they should have given the experience to the future of the team, even if he would have been slightly slower.

Oscar would be better than Yuki you would think.

I like Yuki but I question his temperament and consistency.

Some rumours are now suggesting Piastri to McLaren, partly due to the delay in Alpine making a decision on Piastri vs Alonso in the first place.

What a circus. Doesn't look great for Daniel either.

From Alonso's perspective I do not understand it at all but this is fantastic news for Piastri.

Just watched the highlights on Youtube. I thought that the SVG action in not taking the redress was very poor. Anton stuffed up, but he went to correct it. Just take the win instead of playing games.

Weclome Tommo- are you the old Tommo from the former site?

Yep

Do we think that Piastri will actually get a seat? A few weeks ago there was noise about Williams but that has gone quiet. Also in F2 Logan Sargeant is going well and is a Williams academy member. He is also American and these days sadly the series is very much more American focused.

Hi Tommo, you're back! What do you think of the new forum?

I like it, it seems to be running smoothly.

If places like WA and NZ continue to get away with it until the end of the year then that would be a great result. I am not as across the vaccine rollout in NZ but the way things are finally picking up in Australia there will have to be discussions regarding re-entering the world from EARLY next year, which considering how we were going 6 weeks ago even, this is a good outcome. Good luck to the politicians dealing with this issue with an election coming up.

Hello everyone
