Don't know. I didn't see them replay the shunt and all I heard was that the drivers were taken to the medical centre.
Yes, Colapinto is exciting to watch! |

Quite a few good names in the field. Well some drivers, like us fans, need a bit of racing during the European off season

I was able to watch all but the second one. Specially following countryman Franco Colapinto who did very well. Now I hope he is announced for a good seat at a single-seater series as he is only 17 and still climbing the ladder.
It such a shame that Rui missed pit entrance speed, that penalty cost them the win. |

Watched everything except Race 3 because of the Friday issue too.
Obviously not a classic calendar, but given the world situation, it was exceptionally well executed. Good grid - the best we've ever seen in AsLMS. When we get back to circuits like The Bend it should get really awesome. |

So, everyone coming back to the UK now has to quarantine in the hotels?

In theory yes because UAE is a red list country. But all manner of loop holes and nonsense apply. So yes and no.

Certain jobs are exempt (although not sure any of the AsLMS ones would be). Whilst Red List is Red List, if you get creative with your flights you can arrive via another country which isn't a red list. This benefits those who have multiple passports as well.
I don't imagine the AsLMS community will be the ones really breaking quarantine, so probably a non-issue in this regard. |

I'm sure those that can get out will. Some won't need to leave the country. Those that need to leave should be alright. So it shouldn't be too much of a problem

Isn’t denying or not saying you’ve been in a red list country in the last 10 days the thing that gets you a big punishment?

Yeah. That's where the multiple passport thing has been abused. There's a guy on my LinkedIn (he's an idiot) who came back from a red list country, via another country, using 2 passports so it was harder to trace. It seems like it worked and got him through customs. He has been caught as someone has reported him. He had a rant about people being needing to stay out of his business (as I said - idiot). I don't know what punishment he got/will get/etc.

Nobody that I am aware of is breaking quarantine - the issue is spending ten days out of a red-listed country and having multiple PCR tests while you are out - then self isolating and taking more PCR tests when finally in your own home.
The choice is whether you stay in HMP Hounslow Travelodge - or elsewhere - returning to UK after ten days out of a red-listed country - either way it is expensive and massively time consuming. The fact that the UK Gov decision was taken while we were already in the UAE was a hammer blow to several teams and individuals. I was talking to one industry friend today who, by the time he gets home, will have been away from his young family for 2 months, will have taken (and paid for) c.30 PCR tests whilst operating, at every point, in a 'COVID-safe' environment. Yet he is treated in exactly the same manner as the four 'influencer' w***ers who were in the same airport restaurant as my 'bubble' group in Dubai yesterday, arriving maskless, insulting a staff member who challenged them and generally heaping scorn on those around them who were obeying the rules and trying to look after themselves and each other - and of course filming themselves and each other as they did so. I have no issue with a policy so long as it is based on risk analysis, and that it is delivered in a manner where responsible people can plan to comply effectively. This is not that at all, it is a populist tub thump designed to display to a political base that the UK Gov are taking border control seriously when that is something that they fundamentally have not done from the start. |

Well said, Graham. I thought you did very well to keep a lid on your frustration during the race comms!

I think that was beautifully summed up Graham. At least you had a good race to keep your mind on in the meantime

My lad, who stayed on for a few days at the request of the team, is Turkey-bound for his enforced wait.... He's already being tested on an almost daily basis....
