Chalky commented on the post, Norris slates F1's "worst rule ever invented" after red flag misfortune 1 year, 1 month ago
The reason for the red flag, tyre change, rule is safety.
In the event of an accident, drivers may have driven over debris, that could damage (puncture) the tyres. If there was a penalty to changing tyres under a […]Chalky commented on the post, Gasly on Newey: 'I'm trying to ask him a lot of questions' 3 years, 11 months ago
I agree. This year it’s getting harder and harder to actually watch multiple motorsport series ‘live’ without spending a stupid amount of money. With all bar one of F1s live races now with Sky, there really isn’t […]

Great win for Hinch, especially after the disappointment he had at Indy. Adjusting the car at each stop helped him compete with what looked like a Newgarden only show. With Newgarden nearly lapping all but a […]

EOT gives Toyota a one lap advantage on their stints:
Over 24hrs, this will be a major factor in why they should win.

The 24hr is tough, but not really for Toyota. Being the only hybrid entry they are the only LMP1 cars to get a 1 lap advantage on the field (set in the rules!). Being able to to stop less over other competitors is […]

I do not think you will ever solve the problem with Monaco.
Current rules “You must use 2 different tyre compounds”.
So teams will always 1 stop. We’ve all seen the Senna Mansell clip. Track position is the […]Chalky commented on the post, F1 TV to launch in 40 countries but VPN access will be blocked 4 years, 11 months ago
It feels like I’ve been waiting ages for a service like this and then we can’t get it in the UK because of the existing SKY contract in place!
I guess we get to let others test and troubleshoot the service before […]Chalky commented on the post, Horner calls penalty "appalling", Verstappen blames "idiot steward" 5 years, 3 months ago
Agreed. If that red tarmac was grass…
I pointed out straight away that he could get a penalty (the other half thought I was mad). I’m not in favour of the penalty.
However, I’d rather not have off track […]Chalky commented on the post, Bizarre ambulance incident disrupts NASCAR race 5 years, 4 months ago

This is the clip of the ambulance part that is not in the highlight real.

FE is more relevant to manufacturers now with both the UK and France setting plans for removing new petrol and diesel cars from 2040. The manufacturers are aware that there is a shift in technology and they need […]

I am really surprised but very excited for the news. Maybe someone should let Alonso know that all 4 Andretti cars failed to finish the last Indycar race at Long Beach due to technical failures.

It looks much better. Less aero should make better racing.

Liberty Media have the chance to revert the trend, but if they continue on the same path I can see viewer figures still declining.

The only thing German about that design is that is looks quite similar to Oschersleben, but with some longer straights.
Perhaps the elevation change will ensure some more interesting driving experiences.
