Don't forget also that the RB21 is the last RedBull car designed by Adrian Newey.

Clearly not at the Coast, so I assume shot at Exeter Airport? ;)

Sea fog makes it near on impossible to get anything of quality while they are flying over the sea.

Re: Russian aircraft drone attack

While I take my hat off to the Ukrainians for their initiative and daring in pulling off this successful mission, let's not forget that it is also a two edged sword.

There is going to be a large reduction of civilian staff at Lakenheath this October, could this possibly be a knock on effect?
