We know that the RB race pace is strong as they did some long runs without problems yet Ferrari didn't get any meaningful long runs due to both their cars glancing the walls.

I said it in 2019 ,the Ferrari Jet-Mode really smelled like strawberries (it wasn't a joke)

Last winter I've said it again , but this time It's odorless.

Could be an additive like top cylinder lube, power plus lubricant sells lubes that have "flavouring" (flavouring probably isn't the right word) and it makes the exhaust smell like Cherry or other scents.

Might be the esters in the oil, or ethanol in the fuel causing that sweet smell.

Hours long drivers meeting?

Sounds like they're racing...

Stefano Domenicali made announcement few hours ago, race is on. Drivers voiced their concerns and assurances were made the area is safe.

Basically anyone important in Saudi Arabia will be at the race and their families, they said the area has all systems to protect it.

Saudi GP is sponsored by US Patriot Missiles this weekend.

"After an intense day triggered by a missile attack by Houthis on an oil facility near the Jeddah track during first free practice, the fate of the race hung in the balance late on Friday amid unease from drivers about the situation.

During lengthy talks that stretched on for more than four hours, the drivers spoke with senior F1 figures and team principals to express their anxieties about matters.

First F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali and F1 managing director of motorsport Ross Brawn were summoned to the drivers’ meeting, before team principals were then asked to attend.

The team bosses then had further follow up talks with Domenicali while the drivers continued their discussions that lasted until around 2.20am local time."

With high officials expected to attend the F1 race this weekend, it became a high-risk event.

Suddenly my earlier comments took a different turn...

Definitely not hoping for it, but not feeling comfortable about the driver's safety of that circuit.

Yesterday a Turkish F2 driver was taken to hospital:

"The FIA advises that an incident occurred during the FIA Formula 2 Practice Session today, 25/03/22, in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, involving car #23, Cem Bölükbasi.
The driver has been transferred to King Fahad Armed Forces Hospital, Jeddah for precautionary checks."

"Following medical examination, the driver of car #23 was found to have suffered a concussion and remained in hospital overnight for further precautionary checks. He has been declared unfit to race and has therefore been withdrawn from the event by the team."
