Alonso

I wouldn’t read too much into this. Mercedes’ engineers might easily be the smartest this sport has ever been. They’ve been hurt the most by the change, but that also means they know exactly where they have to […]

Yeah, this whole story is so ridiculous. Looks like it’s one of so many cases of fake feminism.

@joeypropane: There’s nothing ridiculous about it. This is a ranking based on performance, pure and simple. Should we rate Russell above Hamilton because he performed better relative to their respective […]

I’m afraid you’re mistaken, Ian. Overall I like Lewis and I’m happy for his success (apart from being a bit bored of the current dominance). And I’m glad he uses some of his money to support worthy causes. But the […]

Will someone tell Lewis about how the UK and most other Western countries abuse human rights on a daily basis, probably even more than Saudi Arabia? I won’t hold my breath…

connections with global terrorism

Terrorism is the word used by those who have power to describe the actions and the fighting of those who do not have power (for example, in KSA being an atheist is officially […]

Correction: Saudi Arabia’s human rights violations are not any better or worse than those of your country, my country, or pretty much any other country in the world. What is particularly appalling is the m […]

Actually, nobody knows what those people did, because they are falsely imprisoned without charges and their habeas corpus right is forfeited, which means that the only thing we know for sure about them is that the […]

Yep, mainly because the US government likes to commit most of their human rights abuses (not all, mind you) in other countries, so if you live in one of those countries you’ll definitely be better off moving to […]

This is so hypocritical. We’ve always had F1 races in the country with the worst human right abuses record in the world, the US, the country where human rights abuses are so common that they don’t even bother […]

Exactly, this whole thing is so hypocritical.

No, no, you got it wrong. The new race is not in Israel, it is in Saudi Arabia.

That must have been the shortest negotiation in F1 history:

– Binotto: Hey, those guys are racing illegal cars. They deserve serious punishment!
– Carey: Blimey, Mattia, you’re right. What about we hand […]

At least they could have made up a better excuse…

Why did Bottas pace drop so sharply after lap 53? He had fresh rubber and he was closing on Verstappen at 2s per lap, he looked like he was going to catch him and pass him in no time, and all of a sudden his pace […]

Why are they cancelling races more than two months in advance? Does it take two months to prepare a GP? Or do they know already that the situation will be the same in two months?

Actually, the nose of the Racing Point has exactly the same shape as the nose of the Mercedes. It’s just the livery that is ugly. And I don’t see anything wrong in the nose of the Renault. It’s just the classic […]

He was not asked if they are the best drivers in the history of Alpha Tauri. That wouldn’t even make sense, because they are the ONLY drivers in the history of Alpha Tauri. He was asked if they are HIS best driver […]

@phylyp: I can’t see a reason to believe Vettel’s performance is worsening. Hamilton is older and he seems to be at the top of his game. Alonso is even older and he also seemed at his best last year. This seems to […]

@regs: I cannot imagine why Ferrari would want to sign Kvyat. He’s struggling to stay in F1, a seat in a top team is out of the question unless he ups his game a lot.
