That sounds nice when you are on the good side of luck. Just as when you are cured from cancer, you have defeated cancer! Sounds fantastic. And the girl nexT door dies from it, but yeah, she was defeated, didn’t fight hard enough then? Or bad luck, but then she deserved that apparently. Gasly has taken a great win, On top of some fine drives at SAT last and this year, he was able to repair his status, that is also exactly the reason they kept him on, for him to try and achieve that.

Not exactly what I mean but it`s difficult to explain...Finally luck is there where it should be...

Luck doesn't exist so.
And Honda still have to catch up with Mercedes, but RB even more though that is clear? There is no-one from RB saying it Honda's fault for being slower then Mercedes? Can people stop complaining they feel hurt because their precious Honda brand is being damaged?

Moving this over from the AT thread:

Thanks a lot for looking into this ispano6!

I went through Suzuka Circuit's old news announcements and saw that they had announced the availability of the Staff Replica shirts on the Wednesday before the 2019 Suzuka F1 GP weekend, so it's likely that the timing will be the same (hopefully sooner and more availability to make up revenue lost from not having the race). It also seems the black and red staff shirt I have wasn't available on the online shop and only the white and red was. If it was then it was probably only a few left over from the Circuit shop and even then it's sold as a Suzuka circuit shop exclusive goods. If you want a staff replica shirt/jacket PM me and I will see if I can have someone pick up a few when they become available at the circuit shop and can arrange to ship them internationally if the shop won't ship outside Japan (probably won't). I expect quite a delay in shipping so you might not receive immediately or before seasons end (at least we'll have it for next year). Prices should be around the same but may be higher, though I don't remember it costing that much at the circuit.

Thank you @Hino and welcome back.

Thank you so much @Hino for sharing this, I really wanted to see Motohashi-san's reaction. Maybe they'll promote him to Red Bull someday too!

I had wondered if RBR was going to get to use the jet. Sounds like they will.
It'd be cool if It was RBR Honda next year and there was a RBR version of the jet as well.

The Honda jet with the AlphaTauri image is beautiful, but with that big red bull on it ... doesn't seem pretty.

[Sieper]

It would not be very nice. There is now a new Flight simulator / game out by Microsoft (MSFS 2020) check it out if you haven’t. Incredible step forward in gaming tech, but it has a Ferrari custom livery on one of the jets (all red with the prancing horse and Italian tricolore) and it Just looks stupid imho. Way too “busy”. RBR look would have a similar issue.
