Another factor was the wet track and RIC’s frustration after his pit blunder. HAM left space but RIC couldn’t capitalise because the space he had was off the dry line. HAM’s responsible for leaving space, not for […]

Lol, 5 race wins per year for 20 years straight. There isn’t a snowflake in hell’s chance of that happening.

I like the finishing position method, one way of eliminating fluke results would be to disregard each drivers best score.

A closed cockpit would not have helped Bianchi, apparently his injuries are a result of rapid deceleration which induced a shearing action on the brain tissue – common in many vehicle accidents. The only safety […]

An obvious approach would be to institute a ‘no overtaking after the first corner’ rule

Hamilton is behind in the title race through a multitude of problems beyond his control, to now suggest the team impose […]

Interesting NYT article, thanks for the quotes.

Formula One: Beware dirty tricks

The ‘nonsense’ remark from Wolff is odd as there is effectively no difference between what Hamilton said and what Wolff said.

Hamilton: “[Nico] said he could have avoided it. He said ‘I did it to prove a […]

That’s because he doesn’t actually think it was a mistake or racing incident. Hamilton claimed that Rosberg had explicitly blamed him for the collision, which was also confirmed by Lauda after said […]

Keeping things like this ‘internal’ only promotes deep suspicion, why can’t Rosberg see that? Nobody in their right mind trusts internal investigations and rightly so. Transparency is everything. If you want […]

What they (FIA, FOM and yes the teams) clearly don’t realise is that most fans are not overly thrilled at repeatedly witnessing the sports’ adamant frolicking around ecological, financial and moral bankruptcy. Not […]

haha, somehow though I doubt he’ll ever admit to making the wrong decision.

“In my opinion it’s the best decision ever” – Pastor Maldonado on moving to Lotus from Williams (March 2014).

Rosberg barely scraped pole even after Hamiltons qualifying lap mistakes, he had a poor start, he was lucky not to get a penalty for gaining an unfair advantage, was lucky he didn’t hit the wall after pitting. […]

Yes because he more than made up for his qualifying when it mattered, finishing ahead of his 4 times world champion team mate and passed a faster car by using his brain not his DRS.

Rosberg drove well to make it to the end but someone who creates an unfair advantage and thinks it’s no big deal does not deserve ‘Driver of the weekend’ status. Ricciardo is more deserving.

He didn’t break the rules though, the FIA made that rule (must not re-pass until after the next corner) on the spot after the race. The unwritten rule of the time was ‘give the place back’ which he did. The FIA […]

In Spa 2008, after gaining on Raikkonen hand over first, making the pass, being FORCED wide cutting the chicane and subsequently giving the place back immediately Hamilton was still penalised and had his win […]

“Also, note the 2010 Virgin F1 car in the background…”

Note too the Concorde, which Virgin never even owned or operated…

“hey guys, why is the VIN missing?”
