I believe 1988 was Prost seven wins and Senna eight wins?

]]> Comment on Red Bull’s giant conundrum: What do they need in a second driver? by Formula One Tragic https://www.thecheckeredflag.co.uk/2023/12/red-bulls-giant-conundrum-what-do-they-need-in-a-second-driver/#comment-74048 Mon, 18 Dec 2023 22:31:56 +0000 https://www.thecheckeredflag.co.uk/?p=407061#comment-74048 There is no doubt that Ricciardo is odds on to get the seat in 2025 as long as he has a good year getting the Boss Racing Bulls team sorted for the boss and he is still quick. What he brings to the A Team is his marketability, his smile and most importantly he will be a trusted 2nd driver who is not going to do a “Checo Monaco” on Max.

And motorsport can be dangers

The same way the riders who passed away on Indian Baja 16/08/2018

But why everyone are silent and not asking anything about Sanjay and vishwas and others suffering at jail ???
When the Angata racing team Asbak died
the truth knows everyone who was there in part of the Indian Baja rally 2018.
But no one talking about Sanjay and vishwas others who suffering at jail almost 23month

Why media team is silent?

Why you guy are silent ?

Why this incedent is not a murder then ?

Why this is only accident?

Why Asbak deth is considered as murder ?

Even Angata racing team member Asbak also died same way ,

We all know what is the motorsport and how it’s woks in India , we know it’s very difficult to Organise the events in India ! Somehow the events are running safely
But some of the idiot people they taking the natural death also as a murder!
And they claimed family issues and property issue.
So please stop comment if you don’t no about the sports. Because sometimes the same comments change someone life turn into wrong .

Weak up motorsport people and give the right knowledge about sports and how sports will works .

If you guy silent like before 2018 may be other people will take a adventage of the natural death to murder and they create the new issue like how it’s happen to our innocent riders Sanjay and vishwas .
Get up everyone show the brotherhood to Sanjay and vishwas and other who’s there in inside of the jail and suffering more than 23month without doing anything wrong our riders are suffering.

Please Spred the right knowledge about motorsport to all who’s don’t no about the motorsport,

And please make sure riders perents should know about the motorsport as well And riders whos there in riding community let’s them understand and start giving the respect motorsport

]]> Comment on Red Bull Set to Evaluate Ricciardo in Silverstone Tyre Test by Formula One Tragic https://www.thecheckeredflag.co.uk/2023/06/red-bull-set-to-evaluate-ricciardo-in-silverstone-tyre-test/#comment-74035 Mon, 26 Jun 2023 18:52:58 +0000 https://www.thecheckeredflag.co.uk/?p=401429#comment-74035 At last, RB are are realising that they have a worthy contender for the 2nd RB seat right under their noses if Checo underperforms. It is now up to Dan to show that he can do the job in the Pirelli tyre tests, and he will. With Dan you have an experienced 8 time race winner (7 x with RB) and more importantly he will not do a “Checo job” on Max. Ricciardo is a smiling assassin, and he brings fun to the grid where there is a lot of seriousness and an absence of personality, but as soon as the helmet goes on the Honey Badger takes over. Bring it on.
