I am assuming you mean Holdsworth for Slade's seat?Sladey's on the move? I haven't seen that one..
I did see one report that said Holdsworth might be lined up for the seat, but that was about it.
Not Slade for Lee's seat?
Alpineās option with Piastri expired on 31 July.
They were busy trying to convince Alonso to stay on for 2023,farming Oscar out to Williams and then moving Oscar in for 2024.
Oscar had offers from McLaren,Alpine,Williams and Alpha Tauri followed by Red Bull( so half the grid).He decided McLaren was the best option.
Alpine stuffed around and finished losing both Alonso and Piastri.Heads will roll I think.
Another rumour getting around is Oscar to Alpha Tauri with a future at Red Bull Porsche, given Webber's strong ties to Porsche.
sarcasm is the lowest form of witThanks Mike, yes those in the 'tower of power' rely on the TV coverage, next time these nay-sayers watch and they cross to the 'tower of power' have a look at how many TV screens are in there
Why do they have so many TVs? There is only one telecast, so according to you they only need one TV.
I am sorry if I am critical of your gods, but seriously get your head out of your arse and look around. This circus is 'made for TV' nothing more
As I said I have been an insider so probably know a little more than the casual observer
Please tell me what roles Skaife ad Crompton have with Supercars TV and don't just say 'they just talk to the screens'
Do you really think the "commentators" (a) make the decision to cut to a scene and (b) for the purpose to penalise?
oh yeah, it was great to see the commentating team up to their old antics, showing footage of the BJR driver using a windscreen cleaner. As soon as I saw it I thought 'here we go, penalty soon' and then that piece of **** James Taylor gives him a whackI was hoping whoever turned Davison around was going to get penalised. I don't recall seeing a replay of that. Perhaps cameras weren't aimed at the back of the field.
They do a bloody good job for a two man effort! Do they handle the cameras too?sarcasm is the lowest form of wit
Commentators and the whole TV thing is owned by Supercars, NOT Ch 7 - wake the **** up
