I think Ricciardo is well placed to replace Perez at Red Bull in 2024 if Checo continues to be unsettled with his clear number two role at Red Bull.

As for Mick. As mentioned in the piece, his surname carries a […]

I remember Checo being told repeatedly to let team mates through when he was at Force India and refusing (Canada one year i specifically remember but im sure there were others too), so I guess this is a little bit […]

Far too leniant.

When you consider what other drivers get 5 seconds for. Norris/Perez at Red Bull Ring springs to mind.

When you end a drivers race like that. You have to get more.

There has long been an obsession both from fans and those inside F1 about the frequency of overtakes. But I feel the quality of overtaking is more important. Too often now a car just breezes by another, the other […]

Indeed.

My solution to this would be, instead of shoehorning in Sprint Races to F1, have each teams 3rd/reserve driver take part in a separate championship, using the spare chassis. Perhaps points could even […]

WSR had Vettel, Kubica, Ricciardo, Bianchi, Sainz, Vergne, Vandoorne, Magnussen (also Alonso when it was World Series by Nissan).

We see in W Series how letting past champions stay in the series is bad for the sport. I’m fully behind what Bruno Michel is saying.

There are other championships out there for drivers who cannot find a seat in […]

The less practice there is, the more the order stays the same through the weekend. Ever since 2003 when we lost the Sunday morning warm up, the chance for a team to suddenly gain pace between qualifying and the […]

The other drivers just made it so easy for Chadwick at the start. It’s like the other women had lost the race to her in their heads before the start even happened.

It reminded me of when a driver like […]

I agree. All this season has done is show that Chadwick should not be there, she’s a class apart from the other women in the series and needs to do something at a higher level.

For me, the sooner that the […]

I’ve long stated that the reason the 80’s and 90’s are remembered so fondly is because of a lack of information available about the race.

You had to rely on the commentator (Much missed Murray for UK viewers) […]

FREC, which uses the same car, has a push to pass system this year. So hopefully that can be brought over to W Series.

The chicane was the most interesting part of an otherwise pretty standard/dull cookie-cutter layout. So of course they’re going to change it. Just like they did in Singapore.

As far as i recall we saw more overtakes before the DRS was switched on. Switching it on didnt seem to change anything. The train that Hamilton was in continued to be a train.. just now with slightly higher speed. […]

Definitely in favor of this or something similar.

It is infuriating how many times someone stops out on track during Q1 or Q2 and brings out a red flag, only to then progress through to the next stage of […]

Mercedes struggles last season showed why this event absolutely needs to be on the calendar.

Much like the old Hockenheim its an event that forces teams to design their cars differently and a completely […]

Up until midway through FP1, your diary confirmed to me why we should be visiting countries like Saudi Arabia. A mixing of cultures and hopefully a softening of opinions on both sides as they come together.

And […]

Yes. I’m so glad we’re back to an almost “normal” calendar this year. Last time out i really stuggled to follow the flow of the championship. Each weekend felt like a standalone event like the Macau […]

@HazelSouthwell You meant weekend here right?

The F2 teams sometimes struggled last year to handle the demands of running three races per season

A bit defensive Will. I agree about the awful rolling starts.. but thats not what the comment was criticising you for. The comment was about the sound effects, which i agree are iconic and shouldnt change, even if […]
