Dirty Side Digest #15

The guys review the Saudi Arabian GP

On the Dirty Side this week…

Well it was the end of the trilogy as three back to back races rounded out with the Saudi Arabian GP.

It was a good if not spectacular race with plenty of talking points for us on the pod.

Rumor has it that people are still printing pictures, pausing video, reviewing telemetry, and possibly exploring quantum physics to decide whose corner it was between Oscar and Max.

Somethings can be over examined and ultimately only ever back up what everyone felt by viewing it live with, well, their eyes.

Anyway, to find out what we thought of it all then here is this weeks musings from the two of us.

News & Social in a nutshell

These are the main stories we covered this week but obviously you need to listen to the episode to hear what our thoughts were on them all

Schumacher’s signature was part of a special helmet being worn by Jackie Stewart as he did a lap of Bahrain in his old Tyrell. All part of raising money for his charity, Race against dementia

Max is getting very sensitive to questions about his RB future and he told Crofty on media day to focus on his commentary while he will focus on his driving

Andrew Benson of the BBC speculated that Max may even take a sabbatical in 2026 then pick which team to drive for in 2027 based on who has nailed the regs the best

Imola may be facing the axe as Stefano Domenicali said it might be hard to keep two races in Italy
