@budchekov, you are right, but , no matter how clever the coders, they cannot make more than maximum power available to the drivers, all other modes restrict or “smooth” the power available in order to ensure the […]

@budchekov he is far too dangerous and uncontrolled for open wheel racing. Let him stay in NASCAR where he can win by crashing everyone ahead of him and trying to crash those behind. Keep him out of Indycars.

So where were the passes or battle for the lead?
When Verstappen overtook Bottas on the track? @budchekov

@budchekov Max passed Bottas after his first stop, so there was a pass for the lead. Hamilton passed Bottas for second and Leclerc for third, so there was quite some on-track action. It was much better than last […]

@budchekov Possible long-term solution but useless now due to the 14-day quarantine rules affecting any Indycar driver coming from the States (which all of them will be due to the proximity to the Indy 500).

I get your point @budchekov, but the answer is clear. F1 races are organised events and as such are under much more scrutiny. Besides that, it is really hard to control a population’s free will (at some point […]

@budchekov
haha. You h@ters wish.

@budchekov I don’t think he means that next season will be his last, I think he means the next contract. So probably three seasons after this

@budchekov So you didn’t get we’re talking about virtual racing here? *facepalm*

@budchekov – While it would hardly qualify as historic, or even a classic, F1 are going to stream the 2014 Bahrain GP this Saturday. And they already did the 2016 Brazilian GP.

I agree they could dig into the […]

@budchekov I suppose it depends on if you’re in it for the fame (“for the fans”) or for being the best you can. When someone says they won’t play without people to watch, it’s really just saying, “if nobody can […]

@budchekov I love how complex F1 cars look/are because I love that aspect of F1. The constant development race & pursuit of performance via things such as all those little flaps, winglets & such are a big part of […]

@budchekov That is cool to see those old helmets in a modern look. :-) Some of them look pretty good, but I don’t like the ones where the design is altered to fit a sponsor like Martini for example. I had not seen […]

@aegges66, @budchekov, we are on the same page. For me Ratzenberger’s helmet design is top notch.

@budchekov who’s bashing Claire? I’d love to know.

@davew That’s a good point, I’ve never really heard him talk much about other racing car series (that I remember), but @budchekov also makes another good point, motorcycles could be a challenge that he wants to have a go at.

(@budchekov if I remember correctly, other teams have used that, even right after the Halo was introduced.

Indeed, @budchekov, Kimi is pretty much in agreement with Hamilton that we should all do what we can. He just mentions that F1 probably isn’t the best suited platform to bring that message to the world.

@budchekov Just imagining going down the Kemmel Straight into Eau Rouge. Gulp.

My concern as well @budchekov
The less well financed teams can already struggle to have enough spare parts for a race weekend.
An extra sprint race on Saturday could quite easily leave us with a reduced grid on Sunday.
