Ex-Senna, race-winning McLaren to be auctioned in May



Senna finished 1993 - his final year with McLaren [motorsport.com] - second in the points and 16 behind eventual champion Alain Prost.
With this car, chassis number six, he claimed his sixth and last victory in Monaco โ€“ a record which still stands 25 years on.


*snip*


Although Bonhams will not quote an exact estimate, it expects the McLaren [motorsport.com] to fetch a high seven-figure sum when it goes up for auction on May 11 at the Monaco Sale.


In November last year Michael Schumacher's final Monaco Grand Prix-winning 2001 Ferrari [motorsport.com] sold for $7.5million, making it the most valuable modern era Formula 1 car ever sold at auction.

Next weekend is the first F1 race of 2018. Woot

DH hates the halos, I've only seen still photos of the halos on the cars, don't think it's that bad. What do you think about the halos?

Some of the viewing rights in various countries have changed as of this year. So you might want to check to see the changes on the link below. ESPN has an exclusive multi-year contract for the USA and they have linked with Sky Sports to air their commentary in the states which means Martin Brummel will be the announcer. woot

The FIA had to adjust the starting lights at Albert Park due to the new Halos and have ordered the other tracks to adjust their lights too. They are going to have starting test runs so the drivers can adjust to the new lights and give feedback. They have also added a third DRS zone at Albert Park this year.

Really bad luck for the rookie Sergey Sirotkin...


Quote :
Our provisional analysis is that a plastic bag has been collected on the circuit, completely blocking the brake cooling, so that the right rear corner caught fire and eventually failed the hydraulics circuit,' he said.

'His brake pedal went to the floor and he had to go down the escape lane.'

Williams have the youngest line-up in Formula One, with 19-year-old Canadian Lance Stroll -- who is in his second season -- in the other car.

A meeting of the Miami City Commission on Thursday, May 10 will include a discussion over a bid to bring F1 to Florida from 2019 to 2028.


If the vote is successful, the city manager will be tasked with formalising a contract between Miami and F1 bosses.


The push to discuss an F1 race is backed by Miami mayor Francis Suarez and three city commissioners.


Liberty Media has wanted to expand F1's presence in the United States since buying the commercial rights in late-2016, with a Miami race high up its wish list.

Spoilers in thread? Shouldn't they be affixed to the cars?

Grosjean, (aka: Crashtor II) must go!!!!

Three place penalty for Monaco? He kept full on the gas as he crashed, spun the car and re-entered the track and never let off the pedal! This is the same guy who managed to crash twice on the same curve and in exactly the same way both times during practice in Malaysia. Facepalm

Worked out well for Hamilton in this case but I want to see racing, not cars stuck behind a safety car!

Very interesting article about Ferrari gaining an advantage due to a modification of the exhaust system.
