So i don't know what's up of this rob found something. No i didn't find much about that It seem like. I think though i might have been an option type situation of it wasn't working out. But yeah they they confirmed that alonzo will be there driver for twenty two but no. It's just last week.

His responsibilities have been divided. They're not even discussing organizationally. How their engine program is working and how those responsibilities reporting into the greater team So you know. It's it's good news for alpine in terms of Decent summer and You know the good-looking lineup For twenty two. But it just feels like there's something feels like it is felt. Everson cyril was thrown overboard. Like out of the blue. It's felt like something's up with that program And then the fact that on the eve of a new engine debut You've got this uncertainty.

Yes so zandvoort old circuit new returnee to ask one. Zandvoort is a really interesting location. It was sort of a plan circuit built in nineteen thirty nine but was delayed. Obviously until after the war And had roughly the same layout from forty-six through Almost made it see nineteen ninety and it was this really dramatic and Gorgeous location in the dunes along the north sea on the western coast of north holland. So basically got on the eastern coast. There you've got amsterdam On the on the western coast. You have sanford If you look at footage of the old zandvoort racetrack. Or if you watch Recreations of the circuit in various sims. Like there's a video of max stop Driving it in a in a version of the track that was done for a set of corsa really cool circuit Really dramatic looking at us. The natural slopes of the dunes to create a series of Banked corners and along this kind of really fast almost undulating race track as it went over the dunes The flip side of that was the basically were no runoffs. Even by old f. one standards this is a dicey looking circuit And the encroaching slopes of the dunes of meant that any sort of going wide or or running off had a good chance at Sort of launching a car were flipping it And there's some pretty horrific incidents as with any circuit. In this era zander was was host to truly ghastly Incident involving roger williamson. Whose car did get flipped and caught fire and in the completely sub-standard safety You know.
