What annoys me the most is that there isn’t a black and white penalty in the rules for this. Why is it always open to interpretation? Why couldn’t they say, (for example), for every $10k you are overspent, you […]

I just can’t see where Daniel Ricciardo fits. Alpine don’t seem keen, which is understandable, as he does represent a big risk at a likely heavy price. Alpha Tauri is surely not worth revisiting having already […]

I wish there was a more hard option than ‘Strongly Disagree’! There are so many reasons not to add more races.

Firstly, what happens to the team members? They’re already stretched and rarely able to be home. […]

The instant respect I’d have for any team boss who simply refuses to bring their team for the rest of the weekend…

It was an unacceptable risk when they signed the deal, an unacceptable risk when they raced las […]

1. Will the series hit its target of holding a record 23 races on the 2022 F1 calendar? – I hope not… but I suspect they’ll find a way.

2. Will one team find a significant advantage over its rivals and win […]

Formula One needs to have a hard look at itself and decide whether it’s a show first, or a sport first. It’s clear to me that the rules were not applied correctly or consistently at the tail end of the season in […]

There’s a lot I could say about last weekend, but my overwhelming emotion is sadness that we’re having to talk about the FIA rather than two fantastic drivers who gave us such a thrilling season. What happened was […]

I totally agree and I hate the “let them settle it on track” attitude when one (sometimes both) does something dodgy. I have no question in my mind that if the Verstappen move on Hamilton in Brazil was someone lik […]

It’s hard to disagree with Hamilton. As much as I like Verstappen’s aggressive approach he just doesn’t admit defeat and seems to make no attempt to make the corner in order to maintain his position.

This is ev […]

I’d be interested to hear why you rate Russell as a struggler despite him outqualifying his team-mate by almost a second, then getting a grid penalty and still beating Latifi by a decent margin in the race. It was […]

It’s great to see the interest in Formula One rising in the USA, but the calendar is very full already; what would this/these additional race(s) come at the expense of? The USA is certainly large enough to deserve […]

I’m here for the weekend and it’s very badly organised. Both parking and the shuttle service (all paid for in advance at sizeable expense) were appalling yesterday; taking some people 2.5 hours to leave after fin […]

They’re right to start putting pressure on. Aside from Ricciardo, Perez has disappointed me the most this year (interesting that they, and Ocon, have wins, despite an underwhelming season, while […]

This could be a very interesting qualifying session (and hopefully race) if the red flags can be kept to a minimum!

Ferrari look to be a real threat at the top and Alpine aren’t trailing too much either. Surely […]

I was 100% behind Red Bull bringing in Sergio Perez, because I thought he would be a steady and consistent No.2 to Max Verstappen. Unfortunately, I’ve been left a little disappointed with him as he hasn’t, so far […]

I certainly agree that these accidents in Hungary can’t be likened to Grosjean’s crash in Spa which received a ban. This was prior to penalty points, on a dry track and the driver had previous and something needed […]

I thought Alonso and Leclerc were absolutely excellent and it was nice to see Ricciardo closer to Norris in qualifying and finishing position (perhaps not overall lap time just yet).

Perez was just nowhere all […]
