Would be impossible by now to organize a race in a different country instead. Tickets need to be sold and everything needs to be prepared. Not enough time for that.
I guess if they can’t find substitute tracks, and as you say time is tight. To arrange.
Then it’ll be a big gap after china / japan, as I can’t remember which way round they are, and less stress on the cars & drivers as well.
they could do double weekends like in Covid time, so twice on the same track, but i would be fine with 22 instead of 24 races
Could also be 17 like a little bit back in time. 24 is way too much if I have something to say. 
And also move Australia back to end of the season. Instead of at the start, if you want to go back even further.
Not 100% but Adrian Newey, has put doubts on whether Aston Martin. Will even make the grid on Sunday.
FP3
No Stroll
Problems for Williams
Big Crash from Antonelli
Hadjar faster than Verstappen
Audi doing well!
Saw a photo of Max taking a trip across the gravel trip. That’ll be something to find out later on, what caused it.
Because someone made a comment on the BBC sports website. That’s not like Max, to crash out as he did.
Q2
Hulkenberg kicked out by his teammate, but Audi in Q3
Q3
Mercedes front row 1 2
Hadjar very good!
McLaren 1 second down….
Just seen Max’s crash, that looked like a car failure. As the back axle locked up solid. At least Hadjar, might offer some help to Max once we get both of them on the grid. In their right places. Namely in the top 10.
But it seems, I know it’s only the 1st race, but it looks like Mercedes have got to grips with the new regs already.
He made a sarcastic comment. The car just fucking locked on the rear axles. Fantastic…..
I saw the transcript on the highlights, I’ve just finished watching.
F1, FOM and Bernie Ecclestone have been ordered to pay £250,000 to cover part of Felipe Massa’s legal costs in his continued lawsuit over the 2008 F1 World Championship
But does that finally close that case.
It’s going to be a fun race tomorrow, as the Stewards have allowed all the drivers, that failed to set a time in Q1 today, have all been given permission to race.
Nice race, lots of overtakes!
Piastri crashed out before the race, Hulkenberg issue before the start.
Lindblad did very good, Hadjar engine issue.
Ferrari strategy dumb as always, not pitting under VSC twice, so they both lost about 10 seconds..
Aston Martin made it a testrace, Caddilac one car on the finish
Audi in the points with Bortoletto
Interesting, saw on the BBC sport page Piastri’s car looked like it had gone through a car compactor.
