Surprised more people aren’t complaining about the dreadful live timing graphics…

The old graphics used to update the sector colours throughout the lap as subsequent drivers produced purple sectors.

The […]

@erikje I strongly suggest you actually research what the mandated side impact crash structures actually look like…

They consist of 2 spars each side of the car. One high up and one low down near the […]

Perhaps Binotto should look more closely at the Ferrari mirror supports before complaining too much…

On the Ferrari each mirror is supported by two supports. The longer horizontal one with a curved element is […]

As I’ve also commented below, I think the green panels to the right of the track are actually in the pit lane and are for the weighbridge.

Look at this video of the safety car doing a lap of the track at the […]

I think the green panels to the right of the track are actually in the pit lane and are for the weighbridge. Confusing nonetheless.

I believe this to be the case because looking at this video of the safety car […]

Definitely preplanned.

Karun Chandhok on Sky in the build up to the race said he saw him practicing going through the run off chicane as fast as he could on his sighter laps after the pit lane opened before […]

I’m not a fan of this format at all, and am just glad a driver has finally come out and said it too.

To be honest all today did, was give a glimpse at how much of a procession tomorrow’s race is going to be… […]

He’ll probably get Albon over to the circuit next week to recreate Hamilton’s walk from the car, to prove that it was in fact possible to avoid contact if he’d moved to the right a bit…

I suspect the stewards deemed it to be a racing incident, however due to circumstances they had to punish Hamilton.

Under the normal course of events if the red flag wasn’t required, Hamilton would’ve had to […]

Yup, that and the onboard from the roll hoop from Max’s car at the point when he makes the 2nd right hand steering action and commits to the corner, you can clearly see Hamilton’s front wing in shot.

So… […]

“He was already taking the widest line that would have still allowed him to clear the corner”… while keeping the loud pedal pinned to the floor.

Of course, he could’ve lifted the loud pedal to avoid an […]

The trouble with attributing luck to a driver is it is very easy to do to fit ones narrative.

There’s no doubt Hamilton has been very lucky, but so have other drivers if you look for it. To highlight my point – […]

You don’t have to agree with it. After all the whole comments section is just opinion. Just like I can choose not to agree with your statement about it being British centric as to why he didn’t get penalised much. […]

I think the incident ultimately comes down to Hamilton recalibrating his approach to wheel to wheel combat, and Verstappen not…

What I actually mean by this is, historically Hamilton has been championship […]

In most cases I would agree with you. However, there’s a time and a place to try new things, and mid-way through a season is not one of them.

If Verstappen passes Hamilton tomorrow, which I fully expect, the […]

Well I found myself getting unnecessarily angry during that qualifying session. It was a great session, but i was watching it with my 7 year old Formula 1 mad son, and was having to try and explain why qualifying […]

I fail to understand the point of the sprint races and I’m not sure it’ll do what they want. Only the top 3 score points, and even they are minimal. I don’t see there being much in the way of overtaking at the […]

@erikje yes you’re right, it would’ve fit my narrative much better if they’d said “oh Mr Masi sir, do you mind awfully red flagging this race immediately and not restarting so Max can still win?”, but alas they […]

I’m certainly completely wrong, but I can’t help but feel Red Bull’s call for a red flag was not for the reasons they claim.

I don’t know the exact timing of their message relative to when it was broadcast on […]
