This is probably the best solution that I have heard so far if we are to continue with Sprints. Although I still do not like that some race weekends are worth more than others points wise.

@aapje where they are sent out in reverse championship order

I don’t understand why people always want them sent out in reverse championship order…..why give the fastest cars the best track conditions? […]

100% this!

I don’t get what is so difficult to understand! Masi is the race director, not a steward. He doesn’t decide the penalties, the stewards do. He can’t even overide the stewards decision as far as I am aware. He […]

@S Exactly, however they have recently blurred those lines with this nonsense about ‘meaningful laptimes’. The existing regulations were fine as they were. If a driver went through double waved yellows, whether […]

Sainz – easy really.

Seems un necessarily harsh for a wet t1 L1 incident! I was surprised. Would have liked to see it on board from Perez. It was hard to judge how much he was ‘sandwiched’. Alonso definitely deserved the penalty […]

145 + 95…..;)

I dunno, I thought JB did really well. He was the only one who cottoned on early about the new inters going through a graining phase after a couple of laps when Perez caught Leclerc…and we saw it in action again […]

@bascb BMW invested heavily before pulling out at the end of 2009 then who regained control after BMW’s 2016 exit. confused me too.

Actually, I think it was the right thing to do. At the time he was only around 4s behind Hamilton on track. By pitting with Hamilton it should have out them on a similar strategy whilst maintaining a that gap […]

@dbradock If I recall correctly (and I could be wrong) the next car behind him was Hamilton….

I think it was Vettel in the Ferrari if memory serves.

1 token for a not meat burger from the Hamilton chain.

@alianora-la-canta Silverstone certainly does NOT have all tarmac parking. I parked in a slopey field for Friday Practice/Sprint at the circuit this year. They have improved many of the access roads though since […]

@becken-Lima nah….better to have the tow through Radillon and along the Kemmel straight for a clean overtake into Les Combes 😊

@johnrkh I think it is inevitable, They seem to be intent on selling off their share in the F1 team to Wolff and Ineos, but keeping MercedesHPP (or whatever it is called this year), which would suggest that they […]

Re COTD:
Given that Brawn has already suggested that they’ll change regulations to prevent any a team from gaining the benefit of something innovative like the double diffuser was, I doubt we’ll see anything lik […]

@thegianthogweed @todfod

Bottas did enjoy more than double (I would guess, can’t be bothered to look it up) the amount of pre-season testing in 2017 than Perez has had this year though which would make a huge […]

@DonSalsa

Russell is a contracted and loyal Mercedes driver. If RedBull could get him he would be diving for them already and Perez wouldn’t have got a sniff of that seat in the first place. The same applies […]

@freelittlebirds Total domination might have led to dramatic changes
