"When those ultra talented and fierce competitors sit only between themselves and chat and talk, listen to each other, at times make jokes and laugh together. Those are moments I cherish witnessing, back in the day when I was racing myself and now as chairman. But we made an agreement between us that we keep the meetings off the TV because we like to preserve the unique and great culture we have had for many years now. It was not always like that, I remember that GPDA meetings became the platform for fighting and arguments long ago, which I make a big effort to not ever let happen in our meetings. The meetings are about topics and concerns we all have and share and shall never be a courtroom of individual dislikes and disagreements."

Okay, further research re: GPDA and WhatsApp has revealed more details.

For instance, Seb - Seb - uses emojis express his feelings.

In 2020, F1 was planning to make changes to the Sakhir GP layout.

While some drivers including Renault's Esteban Ocon have praised the call, calling it "awesome", Haas driver Grosjean said last week in Belgium that he was not "fully convinced" by the decision, believing it could be a "nightmare" in qualifying and with blue flags in the race due to the lack of track space.

Asked if he had discussed his concerns over the layout with fellow GPDA director Sebastian Vettel and GPDA chairman Alexander Wurz, Grosjean told Autosport: "With Vettel, yes. I won't show you the emoji that he replied with on WhatsApp!"

As per request here's the ORF Comms for the Silverstone battle.

I did a meh job subtitling it but AW is Alexander Wurz who used to drive in F1 and is currently the GDPA chairman.

So he knows what he is talking about and he lost it a bit.

Alexander Wurz after the race in Austria last weekend when Ernst Hausleitner asked him about what Carlos and he have been talking about, when he (Alex) has ran over to him before (and had tried to comfort him):

Alex: Yeah, he is a good friend of mine (quick Austrian lesson: Spezi means friend/mate 😉). We will meet in two weeks in Mallorca to go cycling together. He doesn't live too far away from our vacation house there. But yeah, he has said he is really pissed off (because of the incident), but he still needs to go to the debrief first, because they (Ferrari) haven't agreed to what to say yet. And yeah, that was it but for which we don't blame him either.

Always that insider information no one has asked for, Alex 😅 But exactly what I'm looking for 👀 I hope he will post content about their tour 🙈

Larry Woghiren, fundraised at Help for Heros Charity at Formula One Mclaren driver, Jenson Button’ Triathlon

Event: Jenson Button Trust Triathlon, on 14 July 2013

Charity Registration No. 1120920 (England & Wales) and SC044984 (Scotland) Every day, men and women have to leave their career in the Armed Forces as a result of physical or psychological wounds. Your fundraising helps them recover and get on with their lives. So far we've supported more than 25,000 people and won’t stop until every veteran gets the support they deserve.

Larry Woghiren who was a finalist at the 500-strong Formula One champion Jenson Button Charity Triathlon, said, “ After completing two triathlons against some of the fittest professional athletes and military servicemen on the hottest day of the year, I now have an acute understanding of the quote, Triathlon doesn't build character. It reveals it.”

FORMER Formula One world champion Jenson Button swapped his McLaren racing gear for a wetsuit at the weekend as he swam, biked and ran for charity on Sunday.

The racing ace was joined by Olympic silver medallist Lizzie Armistead and Sky Sports F1 reporter Natalie Pinkham at Luton Hoo to raise funds for Help for Heroes.

The trio were part of a 500-strong field competing in the annual Jenson Button Trust Triathlon. Also at the triathlon was Force India driver Paul di Resta. About 2,000 people, including supporters, attended the event.

The initial heats comprised a 300m swim, 9km bike ride and 2.5km run, followed by a longer final course of a 750m swim, 20km bike ride and 5km run, all at Luton Hoo.

Jenson trains for such events with his triathlon team which includes Tommy Vonach of Austria and Fraser Thomson, who went to school with him.

A curious crowd quickly gathered around Jenson as the F1 star was interviewed for television before his heat.

Asked how he felt, Jenson admitted that it was nerve-wracking but he expected the adrenalin to kick in before competing.

He added: “It’s a great release from motorsport. This is a great family event, and there is a festival vibe.”

Jenson said racing in triathlons worked “pretty well” alongside his F1 career – he was the F1 World Champion in 2009 and second in 2011.

While he is good at all three disciplines, he admitted that cycling “is probably my best”.

Natalie Pinkham admitted she had partly “copped-out” in the race as the television presenter competed in the running section, while Lizzie cycled and Julia Wurz, the wife of former F1 driver Alexander Wurz, swam.

Natalie joked: “I was the weakest link.”

Motorists from St Albans attending the event smiled when a spokesman from event organiser, Human Race, warned triathletes to “watch out for potholes” while cycling.

There was a huge cheer for Jenson as he competed in one of the men’s heats, securing seventh place and going through to the final.

The women’s final was won by India Lee in 55 minutes and 24 seconds, while the men’s champion was Gavin Noble (47.34).

Among those competing was a team from Aldershot, all members of the Grenadier Guards. Captain Andy Butcher said: “We went well, I really enjoyed it. The swim was fun but the cycling course was a bit cheeky as we had to start it on a hill. But it’s a great course, and a brilliant event.”

Triathlete Tommy Vonach said: “It is such a fun course, and it’s like a big triathlon party – it’s our sport at its best.”

After the race Jenson said it was great to hear that close to £30,000 had been raised for Help for Heroes, a charity which supports veterans and serving personnel who have been injured, wounded or become sick as a result of serving their country.

CleanFeed Media has produced a video of the event, available on YouTube which features interviews with Jenson along with Professor Greg Whyte, who coached television star David Walliams to swim the Channel and the Thames.

500 triathletes took part in the Jenson Button Trust Triathlon at the Luton Hoo estate in Bedfordshire, UK, on Sunday 14 July, raising more than £30,000 for the event’s charity Help for Heroes. Watched by over 2,000 spectators, Jenson Button competed twice during the day finishing in 17th place, in a time of 00:55:41, against a strong field of triathletes.

The unique format saw competitors take part in a 300m lake swim, 9K bike and 2.5K run, all within the grounds of the beautiful Luton Hoo estate. The top 50 from each wave then went into a final consisting of 750m swim, 20km bike and 5km run. The remaining participants from each wave contested a ‘wooden spoon’ raceoff, giving all competitors a chance to race twice.

In the evening, participants and spectators joined the Vodafone McLaren Mercedes driver at a post-race party and prize giving, where entertainment was provided by beatbox band, Duke. All those who took part were encouraged to fundraise for Help for Heroes, with money still coming in. Now in its fourth year, The Jenson Button Trust has raised vast sums of money for a number of charities close to Jenson’s heart. The event was devised by the Formula 1 driver, a keen triathlete, as part of his training and to raise money for good causes.
