🚨🚨🚨 New blog post!

Did you know there is an old Williams Racing F1 car exhibited (permanently) in Hungary? What about all the fun F1-related stuff that is here in Budapest temporarily for the weekend?

This post is about the "F1-related adventure" that I kept teasing. I hope you'll like it!💙

The Williams F1 car in Hungary everyone seems to have forgotten about

Do you know what Hell is?Sit down, Jean-Paul Sartre; this was not a philosophical question. Hell™ is the market leader in Hungarian energy drinks and the reason behind this post. Like many other compa...

Well, that doesn't seem very thoughtful on the museum's part.😞

...who would buy them.)

This is 100% just my theory, but I don't think the thieves would have taken the risk if they didn't have those sorts of connections, or maybe they were hired by a specific collector.

...ways to steal jewellery for parts. The trick is you need connections who are willing to buy them (mostly black market collectors), knowing full well everyone in the world knows they are stolen. (Someone once stole some paintings from the Van Gogh museum and then couldn't really find anyone...

From my limited knowledge on IRL art theft:
1) It's not as cool as in movies (although bonus points for the hoist!). They dressed as workers, got in, grabbed whatever they could in a short time and escaped
2) The jewellery as a whole is worth far more than in pieces - there are probably easier...

Honestly, it was not a bad race; it was very eventful. Just painful for a Williams fan.☹️

Alex ends the race in P14.

P14 and DNF are results that fit last year's Williams more than this year's. FFS, we had a podium just yesterday! #USGP

Why would you tell your driver on P18 not to attack the other one on P17??? #USGP

Nice Leclerc v Norris battle! Race engineer reminds Leclerc that Norris has 3 strikes. 😅 #USGP

Kimi took his sweet time overtaking Ocon. Both him and Alex are faster than the bunch ahead but at this rate, I don't think Alex is going to end up in the points😒 #USGP

Norris' 8 laps softs are gone (according to his radio) but Lewis is 10 seconds away... #USGP

Rebus Tóthné Farkas @rebusfarkas.bsky.social · 2d

There's the Alex I know and admire! He's already over Hadjar and Gasly! 👏 #USGP

Alex pits and emerges P17. Good decision at this point. He was never going to hold back all those others on fresher and softer tyres. Wonder how far he can climb back up. #USGP

Rebus Tóthné Farkas @rebusfarkas.bsky.social · 2d

Lots of little incidents this race. This time, TSU vs BEA

Meanwhile, after everybody changed tyres, Alex is on P10🙂 and Lewis P4. 🙃 #USGP

Rebus Tóthné Farkas @rebusfarkas.bsky.social · 2d

Definitely an entertaining one!

Alex in the points! His tyres are "fine", whatever that means... #USGP

Rebus Tóthné Farkas @rebusfarkas.bsky.social · 2d

Lewis on P3 doesn't look bad. I'd like it a lot if that result stayed.

Meanwhile, Alex P11. #USGP

Rebus Tóthné Farkas @rebusfarkas.bsky.social · 2d

Due to people pitting, Alex is P13. Close to points, but those battles probably didn't do much good for his tyres. #USGP

Rebus Tóthné Farkas @rebusfarkas.bsky.social · 2d

What the hell is Stroll doing still on softs? Good for him for making them last! #USGP

Rebus Tóthné Farkas @rebusfarkas.bsky.social · 2d

Alex is up another place! Interesting. That was a beautiful overtake! 🤩 #USGP

Alex overtook Hadjar to P17, so not all is lost, I guess... But I'm not happy about that early tyre change. He's probably going to need another one... #USGP

I wouldn't have drunk a coffee so late had I known we'd have such a bad one!
Anyway, good opportunity to concentrate on the other teams for a change, I guess.

So I just put my little one to sleep but I've been following the action. One of our cars is super slow and the other is out😭 #USGP
