Clearly a Bottas-Sainz tie for me. Sainz succeeded in bumping Ricciardo on Saturday, before easily outpacing him in the race to reach decent points.
Bottas, on the other hand, started up front and led from lap 1 […]

Definitely. Give the car one lap to return the place, even if other cars have slotted inbetween during that time. If they fail to, a drive-through is the suitable punishment.

Honestly, if a two-time world champion and current F1 racer says he considers it a racing incident, that definitely weighs more heavily than what any of us think about it.
Personally, I think the stewards handed […]

Not sure I’ll get through this one in one sitting. This just keeps confirming what we already now, Schumacher isn’t present even though he’s alive. This’ll be a tough one to watch.

A promotion system would only work if F2 (and F3?) ran to same spec as F1, albeit with smaller budgets and therefore more basic cars. It would probably ensure the promoted team gets demoted every single year […]

That’s not at all a bad idea, honestly. Rookie sprint races, they count to constructor’s points but they do not set the grid for Sunday’s main event, instead they are promoted as something like “F1 Future Stars” […]

Notwithstanding being hit from behind at Hungary, Norris was also Mr. Reliable with a string of points finishes going back to Portugal last year.

Easily Ocon for me. Outqualified Alonso, and then avoided the first corner incident. Then, was the first driver to enter the pits, having watched Hamilton not do it. Then, did not put a foot wrong all race to keep […]

Really absurd to want to race without it after seeing Grosjean’s crash in F1. Heat? Yeah sounds tough, but you’ll live.

What would change with a second tyre supplier? F1 teams have realised the cars can go one less stop if you manage tyres, and this won’t change until we have a tyre that can withstand literally anything for over […]

I’d still like to see someone like Michele Mouton.

Of the race? Definitely Vettel and Perez.

Of the weekend? Well, who outqualified their supposedly superior team mate and ran well for their entire race? Bottas. Yeah he retired, but before that he was […]

Mind games aplenty. This is looking to be an exciting season. Lewis feels the need to poke at Verstappen like this, and we know the Dutchman will react. Lewis definitely has the upper hand for now, both mentally […]

Definitely a two-horse race for me, Lewis or Leclerc. In the end, I put Leclerc. He had a pit stop in hand over the entire midfield, and finished ahead of Perez as well. Dominant.

Both he and Lewis are 10/10 […]

Here’s to a final GP at Barcelona before leaving this track for 2022.

I think some people manipulated the vote to give DOTD to Mazepin, F1 refused to announce that (thankfully). Perez perhaps was the runner-up when they re-ran the calculations.

I glanced over Ocon, but you do make a compelling case indeed. Ocon had a strongish race but qualifying especially was impressive. I hope to see Alpine joining McLaren and Ferrari for that front-midfield battle.

Honestly hard for me to vote, because most drivers performed as expected or within that at least. I’ll name a trio:
Hamilton, for fighting back from P3 to take the win, gets my DOTW award
Norris, for continuing […]

Mazepin is fast approaching Yuji Ide levels of F1 performance.

It’s a typical 7 for me. Some battles for the lead, but the end just wasn’t very exciting. On to the next. Spain? Hmpf.. On to the second to next!
