I feel for him – that Haas looked an absolute dog to drive at the start of the year. He hasn’t quite shone, but his results have been more than respectable. I hope he gets another shot at F1 to show what he’s capable of.

Unfortunately Red Bull have shown several times in the past decade that there is no consequence for the driver who petulantly ignores a team order.

Given that the mirror fell off during the race, how can it have been impossible to file the protest within 30 minutes of the publication of the Provisional Classification?

Particularly at the start of the season, that Haas looked horrible to drive. Mick has driven well with the equipment he has had available to him.

Out of interest, can anyone tell me who is the McLaren driver at 1:20 who is a little bit annoyed?McLaren driver is Raikkonen – you can see it printed on the back of the HANS device as he gets up.

I feel five seconds was much too lenient a penalty for Ferrari’s unsafe release. It so nearly resulted in a collision with Latifi’s Williams, which would surely have taken out the McLaren mechanics who were just […]

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 […]
