But I’m not sure I want three days of action. I’m sure it’s great for those that attend at the track, but following a race weekend from home it’s honestly a bit much. But I’m not sure I want three days of action […]

Personally i’d rather we get rid of the sprint races altogether… but if we have to have sprint races in the future, we should at least change the format. In my opinion, the following format is worth a […]

@jerejj I’m not trying to say that the teams would not be able to change tyres at all, I’m just saying the shouldn’t do that as freely as they do now during a red flag, like as a free pit stop for the entire […]

Re COTD
Imagine in that scenario where an ‘innocent party’ picks up front wing damage or a puncture. What happens then?
Well, in every other scenario other than a red flag, so if we have: SC, VSC, yellow flags […]

Then how about we get free tyre choices and no mandatory pit stops for the ACTUAL race…?
And maybe dump this unnecessary thing.

The fact that FIA changed some of the things that bug us the most with the […]

Re COTD: How many time have Hamilton or Verstappen been eliminated in Q1 or Q2? Very few I’d say. They start almost every race from a top-4 grid position. And so far this season none of them got involved in an […]

was mooted*

@jerejj Yeah it seems likely… So my “scenario 3” without Mexico and with either double China on Nov 14 & 21, or China on Nov 14 and Bahrain Outer on Nov 28 seems the most likely to me…

I doubt that any […]

You may be right, but then why all the fuss about hosting exactly 23 races this year?
And why do they keep adding more and more races every year if it doesn’t change the revenue?

It doesn’t really make sense […]

@bernasaurus They’re trying to overcompensate for last year’s smaller 17-race calendar by hosting 23 races and getting a 23-race renevue in return for the teams and Liberty, because the pandemic really took a toll […]

@bascb Although Russia is not a beacon of “human rights” around the world, it is one of the biggest countres on Earth population-wise. Racing there makes more ‘sense’ than racing in Azerbaijan, Bahrain or Hungary […]

Next stop: Sochi.
Try to fix the grey wasteland with the infinite 90° corners and we’ll know you mean business…

@jerejj
I think COTD means probably the 2010 race. From a RaceFans article back then:
Changes to the track surface at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, overnight rain on Friday and varying temperatures all played a […]

These changes might create 4 possible quite good overtaking spots (rather than 2 mediocre/ok ones).

• First the run from Turn 1 to the new Turn 5 hairpin is a new possible overtaking spot. We’ve seen some few o […]

@keithcollantine
Frankly it’s baffling they built it in the first place.
I think it was because they wanted the Turn 7 grandstand to be as close to the track as possible and by not having the chicane at Turns 5 […]

Verstappen did his fastest lap on lap 35 (18 before the end), so he had fresh tyres like in quali but 18 laps more worth of fuel.
When we was at the end with fuel equal to the amount he had in quali, he had 18 […]

It’s a shame that the sponsors and huuuge team logos take up so much space in the drivers personal helmets.
Just looking at AlphaTauri’s drivers, that huge “ALPHATAURI” logo takes up nearly 60% of the entire […]

@jerejj
Personally I can see the Verstappen-Perez line up staying as it is, for 2-3 seasons.
I can also see that although RedBull value Gasly (he’s a race winner and he has 2 more podiums – 75% of all Toro […]

@barryfromdownunder
I thought Gasly’s best shot to get out of RedBull/AlphaTauri was Alpine to replace Ocon. But Ocon really started this season well… so maybe Gasly can replace Alonso once he retires in […]

There needs to be an “automated” system regarding the yellow flags/double yellow flags/VSC/SC/red flag.

• If a car stops ON the track, even if it’s not on the racing line → then at the very least the SC has to […]
