I agree. The sport has become stale since the introduction of the expensive hybrid power trains.
Because of the wealth gap between the top 4 and the rest of the pack and also the reliability of the cars these […]

Again just like the NASCAR driver who lost real life sponsors through something he did in an e race I think the teams/sponsors etc are just using this opportunity to get rid of people they don’t want.
Abt n […]

Even as someone who is a fan of ‘e-racing’ before the lockdown after watching a number of Gran Turismo World Tour events. And playing similar games for the past 20 years I must say the limitations and carefree nat […]

I think it might be wiser to judge their improvements on the upcoming races…

There’s been an unofficial F1 fan festival for years. It’s called the Goodwood Festival of Speed and that always seems to be held around the Grand Prix for presumably logistical reasons.

Typical F1 teams not caring about the fans. I’m lucky enough to live pretty near Silverstone but apart from the race there’s barely a thing that happens for Joe Public to connect with the team.
Red Bull hel […]

The stat about Ferrari not winning with a V12 is remarkable.
They’ve seemingly won with every other common engine type but not their signature one.

Nice one cheers guys. Didn’t know it was there so that’s good to know for the future.

Is there any chance this can be reposted on the days before qualifying and the race I.e Friday and Saturday.
It’s useful information but it’s always a pain having to go back 3 pages just to find the TV times.

Hmm.. HD Freeview is superior to compressed iPlayer HD but now there’s a much better catchup service to watch it on if you miss it live. Probably a slight improvement in coverage in my opinion.

When you’re a car company paying that much to be in a sport you’d hope it’d be entertaining to keep your potential customers hooked. Team orders dilute the sporting aspect of F1 and turn people off from watch […]

Great advert for the people on the fence deciding whether or not to pay the extra to watch the F1 on Sky next year.

Hamilton is just being misunderstood by those who don’t understand the word ‘trick’ in that context. It’s just means special, good. It doesn’t have to imply any wrong doing or cheating etc.

It’s simple. The Honda engine will be awful again next year and Red Bull will drop into the midfield. Once their results go downhill I think Red Bulls long term future will be in doubt as well.
I think moving […]

Says I got 0 but I accidentally went back a page pressing the backspace too many time…
Got 11/20 which I’m really happy with. The older ones (pre 90s) I didn’t have a clue.

Really want Newey to be let off the leash and have a go at a Le Mans Prototype after the amazing Nissan with it’s awe inspiring front engined and radical “tunnel” aerodynamics.

Already posted this on the Autosport forums so apologies to those seeing this twice.

WEC, Moto GP, BTCC are for certain. Indycar if I can find a way to watch it, USCC if it improves from the drab “caution-fest” it was at Sebring, WTCC if Loeb can mount a strong challenge or as long as Muller […]
