Martin commented on the post, Leclerc says he asked to run again before Q1 elimination 3 years, 8 months ago
What were they hoping to gain by Leclerc not going out?
Someone should know the typical delta between Run 1 and Run 2 of drivers below Leclerc and be able to work out he is in the drop zone.

Dakar racer Giniel de Villers was showing Fernando Alonso the ropes in the 5-litre V-8 Toyota Hilux. In a radio interview he said Fernando started slowly but by the end of the two days was impressively fast. But […]

Couldn’t believe the news. He was such an integral part of the scene. Will be hard to find a replacement who earns the same amount of respect from all concerned.

His team should have advised him, “Max, Ocon coming up behind you on fresher tyres. You are not racing him. Let him through.”

1. Bring back grid girls.
– A bit of glamour never hurt ratings.
2. Fixed pit stop windows.
– It’s difficult for newbies to follow races. You get conversations like:
“Why is Hamilton fifth? I thought […]

It’s all about the wheels… and the wheels within the wheels.

Martin commented on the post, F1 discussed 'single-lap' qualifying format proposal 4 years, 6 months ago
Watching just one car on circuit for three laps, only one of which was a fast lap, was one of the most boring sights in all of motor racing. And you the spectator are expected to do it 20 times over, for every […]

“He thought it was the last lap, he asked race control to confirm it, they confirmed it.”
“We obviously need to do a better job briefing these people.”
Alternatively, you need to do a better job under […]

Sorry, didn’t work. I first copied the “document.cookie…” code to the clipboard, then I opened Live Timing and registered, then I pressed F12, pasted the code, and pressed Enter. This is what I got:
XML Parsing Error: syntax error Location: https://www.formula1.com/bin/fom-website/login_status Line Number 1, Column 1:

Martin commented on the post, Raikkonen lucky to finish after "full speed" wall strike 4 years, 9 months ago
I think Kimi’s a contender this year.
Too often in the past he has tended to give up fighting when the car or the situation isn’t absolutely perfect to his liking. But now he seems to have a new attitude. He […]

Here are step by step screen shots of what I did.

I note the F12 window on your screen shot has the heading
“Developer Tools – Live Timing – URL”
which mine doesn’t. Is this significant?
Martin replied to the topic Live timing : enable sector times in the forum Formula One 4 years, 9 months ago
When I first tried it I pasted the URL into the bottom of the console tab, i.e.
https://gist.github.com/tomchiverton/546631228075800f1eb08f2edb1e4637
Then I realised you actually want us to go to the link and paste what is there. So I tried again and…[Read more]
Martin commented on the post, Raikkonen admits error which cost him pole was "painful" 4 years, 9 months ago
The talent is there, but he seems to have lost the drive, the hunger to be top dog.
Having said that, he’s looking leaner and fitter than I can remember. Maybe he’s putting in one last effort this year.
Martin replied to the topic Live timing : enable sector times in the forum Formula One 4 years, 9 months ago
I tried multiple times. F12 – Console – Paste link at bottom where it says >>> – press Enter – nothing happens – reload Live Timing – still nothing – reboot computer – still nothing.

Martin commented on the post, Ricciardo pips Raikkonen in second practice 4 years, 9 months ago
I noticed that the top four drivers all had a double letter in their names.
Unfortunately, No’s 9, 11, 14, 19, and 20 also had double letters in their names.
Bang goes a theory I was formulating.

Azerbaijan time is GMT + 4.
Perhaps you could mention time relative to GMT for all races, Keith, for us folk in different time zones.
