…and that 5 grid place penalty is really going to hurt @ Spa. 😉

Apart from NOR pit stop, McLaren had a damage control race vs Ferrari for WCC points.
Whilst NOR lost out to BOT, HAM did them a mega favour by beating LEC for the win – saved 7pts.
RIC kept SAI behind for, at […]

NO need to get ‘your knickers in a knot’. I just relayed what AJ allegedly said.
Fully aware a story has 3 sides, his, hers & the truth. Consider:-
* Was the finishing order in Carlos’s contract?
* Was a […]

Carlos R.I.P.

MM to JW: OK John, we will remove them, but we will replace it with a brick wall, as your drivers had no problem @ Monaco.
Also, how much are your drivers paid to be the bet in the World?

Queen of the ‘Ring [Green Hell] – Sabine Schmitz Kurve – most appropriate – RIP Sabine.

A spade is a spade and in clear plain english the only answer is a design fault.
Pirelli are there principally to sell more road tyres = $$’s.
Have already voted with my wallet in dumping absolute cr@p Pirelli P […]

Thank you Dieter for that. R.I.P. Mansour.
1980 WDC was AJ. Jonesy being our first since Jack B. Actually, if it had not been for the insane point scoring system [season divided into 2 halves, and I think, […]

With the extent of the debris area if I were Masi would not be confident the area did NOT include that where the cars were preparing to enter the pits. Thus 100% red flag so all cars return to the pits under […]

Exactly what he said, very well!!!

+1 to “Dave” – red flag should have been shown before Max’s car came to rest, particularly where it is and the extent/area of the debris.
Was formerly a track marshal for […]

It is a matter of split second timing, but was RBR’s early call for red flag to try to have no restart and Max declared the winner, hence 1-2, as leader at the previous lap?
I know this didn’t happen as the SC […]

….and Queen Sabine did smile watching over the # 911 Manthey Porsche – it won!!!!!

Mansour Ojjeh backed Ron Dennis’s all conquering McLaren TAG Porsche’s which debuted in Kyalami SA, the last race in ’83. It retired, but arguably the best F1 commentator sidekick, James Hunt R.I.P. stated [and he […]

Watching quali for the ‘Ring 24hrs, noticed a nice tribute with her name on the ‘C’ pillar
of the # 911 Manthey Porsche. I’m an “OOOO” man, but # 911 winning would just be ………….
Sure you will be […]

Watching the McLaren on TV, that pale blue looks sickly – to-o-o light a colour.
Compare that to the F2 in Gulf Oil livery [next article].
A shame – definitely not in ‘Ron’ class. 😉

Methinks Dan is still not 100% comfortable with the brakes, which is more important to him [late braking].
Total empathy for Dan, as I changed pads & s/steel brake lines on our family wagon – 1000% improvement in […]

For a misdemeanor like that, FIA should have allowed the washers to be simply re-installed correctly.
Yes, rules are rules, but should incorporate leniency for non-performance enhancing irregularities.
They […]

Yep!!! A 1:18/43 model will look awesome sitting next to my 1:12 Gulf-Wyer Ford GT40 #6 [chassis # 1075, being the only chassis to win more than one Le Mans 24hrs in 1968 & 69].
Must have cost mega $$s! Thought […]

Could be wrong, but seem to recall HAAS having similar problems with their previous drivers.
Nevertheless, Maz IS the son of a Russian oligarch. History dictates…………………………….

Password = Rubles

Dan is coming from a Reggie & apparently there ARE various differences to overcome [in saying that if there were No difference he should, by now, be theoretically beating Lan]. Can sort of empathise with Dan a […]
