Formula 1 2024 - Saudi Arabian Grand Prix
No changes to the bingo card.
On the other hand, more evidence that Ferrari are cursed. Last race, one car had weird brakes, this race, one driver had an emergency appendectomy. Honestly worried about what Australia will bring.
The most important thing is that Sainz jnr is healthy and well (and remarkably up and about).
The understudy wasn't bad :)
Not sure I quite understand the people saying they're Ferrari fans and wondering why Ferrari are going with Hamilton not Bearman. Mostly it makes me feel like this

When have Ferrari ever put a rookie in the car (permanently)?
It's not the Ferrari way. They loan them out for a couple of years to any team that they give engines to and then see how they do. You don't want a rookie learning not to do *that* in a Ferrari that's supposed to be fighting for the Constructors' Title (accent on that supposed to be with a vengeance).
And oddly, you'll notice Hamilton's contract finishes just in time for Bearman to have been seasoned at probably Haas.
In terms of racing, the Saudi Grand Prix was a dud, with most of the excitement coming in the KMag Zone, an area of a Viking rage, determination, chaos and 20 seconds worth of penalties.
That takes doing Kevin!
