bpacman commented on the post, Did F1 race control make correct decision over last-lap restart? 1 year, 5 months ago
It’s really quite simple. Masi failed to follow two parts of Article 48.12 of the F1 Sporting Regulations on the use of the safety car. He decided to only let 5 cars unlap themselves, which is not a possibility e […]

Very sad news. Ron has made McLaren the amazing company it is today. While the Formula One team has undoubtedly underperformed in recent years, the automotive side of the business is producing cars to match or […]

I couldn’t agree more with this article. For anyone doubting Hamilton’s class, rather than looking at his performances over the past two seasons, look instead at his performances in sub-standard machinery in […]

@keithcollantine I couldn’t agree more with this article. It’s depressing to see how much vitriol expressing a view like this has attracted.
