Why not (a) admit it’s a race, and (b) call it the Petit Prix?

The second half of the season looks particularly gruelling. Teams will surely arrive in Japan (for their 6th race in 7 weeks) utterly shattered. I hope that neither the safety nor the spectacle suffer from the […]

Was Verstappen’s stop on lap 40 the fastest pitstop this year?

He and the rest of the F1 paddock are tested very regularly to ensure any cases isolate as appropriate.

Long Covid is not infectious. It is the damage left behind to your body’s functions after the virus has […]

In the 30th paragraph, I think you mean “foment” rather than “ferment”.

Bit unnecessary. Just say you don’t agree with the comment, no need for name-calling.

Exactly this. On a straight, it’s reasonable to leave space for a rival who is trying to pass, to protect against people being put into the wall at high speeds. In a corner, that’s just not practical – the racing […]

Formula E cars have increased in weight since the first series because of the major shift to a battery which can last the whole race. What justification does F1 have for the extra, apart from the Halo, and perhaps […]

What’s IMSA?

I think this would be a successful outcome for all concerned. Crossing my fingers!

Yes, they’ve both been hard done by, both talented, and in a meritocratic world would both have seats in F1.

I’m uncertain how Stroll could have gone from isolating in a motorhome at the circuit, via a flight, to his home without creating an infection risk for those around him during the transition. People travelling […]

How feasible would it be for Red Bull to take over Honda’s engine operation and become an engine supplier themselves? It seems by far the cleanest route out of this.

This would be the cleanest outcome I think – and would put RB on a par with Mercedes, Ferrari and Renault as top-line teams who make their own engines. It’s not the 1980s any more, where finding a company to make […]

This looks like a straight audition between Ferrari’s embarrassment of F2 riches for a development seat in F1. With the Scuderia having so much talent to choose from, and without Giovinazzi having stood out in his […]

Bear in mind that in Rosberg’s championship year, Hamilton won 10 races – more than Rosberg did that year, and more than the 9 wins that took Hamilton to the title the following year.

You heard it here first!

Just get Martin Brundle in there already!

Surely the harder tyres are most at risk, being the longest-lasting? The structure of the hard tyre is what failed, and it was after 3/4 of a race distance, a longevity which the soft tyres are unlikely to be […]

This is great news! Can we have Istanbul Park back too, please?
