Is Zak Brown bored because he’s already expanded McLaren’s operation into every other major single seater series so now he has to mess with his rivals’ junior drivers just to amuse himself or something?? Baffling.

I imagine Alonso reached the same conclusion Ricciardo did a few years ago: Renault just isn’t willing to do whatever it takes. Renault in F1 doesn’t really make all that much sense. The other manufacturers have […]

Well, if Cordeel, Doohan, Bolukbasi and Natori can only manage bottom 4 in Formula W, then surely Jamie Chadwick must be good enough for F2 ;)

“former F1 race engineer Marc Priestley” – he was a mechanic, not a race engineer, right?

The helmet and the jewelry are still separated from one another by the balaclava, so getting stuck in it shouldn’t be an issue. And nobody is going to ‘yeet off’ the helmet of a driver with a suspected head injury […]

They could add an exception to the rule where jewelry is allowed as long as it is only on the head (and thus protected by the driver’s helmet) and using only materials that don’t cause problems with medical […]

You’re reading an awful lot into two sentences. And for what it’s worth, Schumacher basically went through the same thing. He smashed the 95 championship in what was clearly an inferior car, and he also […]

He was really good at it about ten years ago, when he was the only one able to compete with Seb for poles. But it seems like, having had the best car for so long, he’s kind of lost that skill at Mercedes.

The FIA could just mandate a maximum accumulated vertical g-force that a driver is allowed to be subjected to over the course of a race and put a sensor on the seat to measure it. This way, teams that have already […]

On the one hand I’m glad to see Noda in W Series. I think there’s good evidence to suggest that she might be the most talented female driver in a generation. Having her in W Series will make it much easier to […]

Because MotoGP was having trouble with it. F1 cars are not as sensitive to bad track surfaces. And if the new surface is good enough for MotoGP, it will be good enough for F1. On a related note, the new cars […]

You’re also choosing to ignore some of the differences between now and then. Now the teams have reams of data and simulations to predict and deal with these issues. Safety-wise, high-speed crashes are still scary, […]

The term ‘robbed’ makes this unnecessarily emotional, and pretty much guarantees that the already polarized fanbase will just see the matter on the basis of which driver they’re supporting. Here’s how to state it […]

That would make perfect sense if there was no cost cap. But unless this is exempt for some reason (?), it is weird that Ferrari is willing to spend precious money on making sure Shwartzman isn’t rusty, especially […]

Recent (last 10 years) drivers who’ve had less time in F1 than Giovinazzi even though they deserve it more: Vandoorne, Albon, Wehrlein, Vergne, Lotterer, Rossi

Drivers who’ve never been in an F1 race and […]

@mysticus your example proves the opposite point. In that case, too, race control made a mistake (allowing the checkered flag to be waved on lap 68) and then doubled down on it (reclassifying the race as having […]

Many commenters here seem to be under the impression that the role of a court is to ensure a fair and just outcome. It’s not. Its role is to interpret and apply the rules. So it might very well find that the FIA […]

Kinda funny Vettel won an overtaking award now, given that it was his biggest weakness back in his Red Bull days.

To all those calling for Masi’s head: be careful what you wish for. Whoever they replaced him with would be even more inexperienced. If you fire people as soon as they make a mistake, nobody ever learns anything. […]

In my eyes, the ‘correct’ decision, in line with the precedent set this year, would have been to red-flag it. Agree or disagree with this policy, but that’s how late-race safety cars have been handled as of late. […]
