Dirty Side Digest #24

On the Dirty Side this week…

So, we were all set to drop the newsletter this week when some big breaking news kinda derailed our thought process!

Yup, as you will probably be aware, Red Bull have relieved Christian Horner of his team Principal duties after 20 years in the role. They also announced that Laurent Mekies would be stepping up from the Racing Bulls team and that Alan Permane would be taking the Racing Bulls role.

All that left us wondering if we should dedicate time to this subject within this newsletter?

Well I guess we kinda have already but we’ve decided that, given it’s an off week this week and we didn’t have much content planned, we’ll pick the bones out of this on this weeks episode.

So there. You’ll have to tune in to hear our views.

We’ll also be giving our thoughts on the F1 movie and getting ready to drop our trailer for the summer blockbuster you didn’t know you needed.

Oh yes, the official trailer for “Full Send: A Dirty Side Movie” will be dropping on Monday.

Never heard of that? Well that gives you another reason to tune in to the episode.

Anyway, it’s about now we drop the link to our latest episode which reviewed the chaotically brilliant British GP at Silverstone. Was a great race and we loved seeing all the photos from the army of F1Threads folk who attended.
