Baseless? Except Ecclestone, Lauda and Montezemolo all confirmed it.

‘wholly novel way’

Wrong. Singapore 2015. Not many headlines about that though hey??

I’ve never seen so much sooking on behalf of the most dishonest, emission test cheating, globally corrupt corporation and […]

I said partner, not sponsor. The difference here being that partners run secret tests together and collude on development. Questions?

‘because what you’re really saying is…’
Wow!! You’ve taken putting words in my mouth to a new level. Well done.
If you don’t know that Merc have a corporate partnership with Pirelli that’s not my fault. E […]

Stellar detective work as always…

The GOAT (yay Mercedes narrative pushers!). The longevity of Hamilton’s success is unparalleled (and completely orchestrated). So many rule changes (same PU), new cars (same tyre collaboration), paired with new g […]

Class would be acknowledging that his success is down to his PU advantage and his bespoke Pirellis. Pretending it’s because of his training is downright arrogant.

Oh so you’ll have those exclusive and illegal PU modes for the whole season this year?? Sweet.

‘While some modifications for reliability are likely to be permitted after the freeze comes in, reliability problems can be disruptive for a championship bid, as Mercedes’ experience last year showed’
OH! You m […]

F1 needs a dictator but not one who will execute his right to have final say in the usage of the SC?? Ok…

@fluxsource – a penalty is a punishment. He still won the race and even said later he’d do it again. So no effect on the outcome and no deterrent against doing it again. So yeah, a pretty forgettable ‘penalty’ […]

@drmouse
‘The stewards have endorsed his decision as being legitimate and legal’ – because it was.
‘the RD has unlimited, absolute and total control over the safety car’ – because they do.

But keep talking […]

PU contracts should be made public so that the extent of the power held by the manufacturers is clear for all to see.

@gufdamm – I ignored the obvious grievances because I think they are completely baseless. It’s clearly stated in the rules that the RD has final authority over the use of the safety car. The regs cannot account […]

Nothing has been said about this because it is outside the narrative driven by Merc. No other driver had access to a Merc PU running at that spec (including Bottas who revealed his car was ‘not the same’ after […]

Ha! That’s fair. But if (when?) Lewis dies his hair purple we’ll have to revisit this…

@mrboerns – most globally marketable? Source??

Poor Lewis. Poor poor Lewis. He gets 4 freebie ‘titles’ on the trot and then has to deal with the complete unfairness of having to race. Having to compete. Can you […]

Article 15 is titled ‘OFFICIALS’, not ‘stuff between the clerk of the course and the race director’.

This Article (15.3) is there precisely to protect the Race Director and allow them to exercise their […]

“appears to have violated the FIA’s own rules”

15.3 of the sporting regs states the Race Director has “overriding authority” of “the use of the safety car” (e).

The regs are purposely broad and allow for M […]
