This is a video of a ferrari f1 driving in monaco with a virtual reality headset… seems really to be there!!!!

After yesterday’s Grand Prix, my usual YouTube browsing brought me on to re-watching the controversial Rubens Barrichello overtake on Michael Schumacher at the 2010 Hungarian GP. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXjf5uxMOD0)

For years I’ve been of the opinion that this was dirty driving from Schumacher, but having watched the video above I think…[Read more]

Hi all,

I tried to search the forums on my phone in case a topic was already made but nothing came up; so, sorry if this is a double post! Please direct me to any live posts if so.

I just finished the very hot but fun Hungarian GP and should have access to the in-season tests being done on 1/2 August. I’m staying in Budapest for the time being…[Read more]

Is this a time when you switch off from F1 completely? Or do you dig out favourite past races to rewatch?

F1’s edit of the drivers press conference yesterday doesn’t exactly reflect the balance of debate on the subject of Halo. The positive comments from drivers were left in but the critical remarks from the likes of Nico Hulkenberg, Max Verstappen and Kevin Magnussen were edited out:

Here’s some of what…[Read more]

I don’t know if it has been discussed before statistically but i was not able to figure out on this blog or anywhere else. So i thought of gathering the data and write a piece of code to figure out which drivers have shared the podium with each other the most. Please note that it includes the data from 1984-2017 F1 seasons (including British GP…[Read more]
