But, thankfully, no tickets for the race itself so you can enjoy Austria's many fine cultural offerings?

They were booked at a slightly tipsy christmas quiz so I've already banked them

Enjoy.

I'm not a huge motor racing fan (no, really) and have never been to F1 but the motor sport events I have been to have always been really good fun.

My own slightly tipsy pre-Christmas sign-up was the Manchester Marathon. I think yours sounds less painful.

Flights and hotel booked for the Austrian Grand Prix!

Lovely surroundings. Hope you don't find Verstappen fans insufferable cause you'll be swamped with them!

Hoping to do Monza and use it as an excuse to do Milan too.

I'm mentally prepped for the orange hordes, just about.

Monza would be ace

F1 to go to Vegas in 2023

Red Bull confirmed to be in a Minor Spending and Procedural breach of the cost cap for last year (up to $7.5 million).

Tainted title even more than before. Surely the FIA will have to come down hard (as happened with Melbourne Storm and Saracens for example) to prevent others doing the same.

Aston Martin in breach, too.

For procedural reasons, not overspending to win a championship.

That is sweetly naive.

Probably, but it is a major test of the Cost Cap and of the FIA President who is still in his first year of office. And its not ferrari who have broken the rules.

No one likes their team losing.
