Loved how Lewis was baffled with Leclerc running the hards.

But would he quit if his career wasn’t at a dead end? I find it hard to applaud people who have fulfilled their life’s dream and now spout truisms to supposedly save the world. Besides, he will probably continue […]

One has to admit, there is something ironic about the protest helmet being adorned with an Aramco halo.

But hypocrite or not, the pollution is real, the problem is there and by calling out people for whatever […]

Sadly the paper champ didn’t dissolve in the wet. (-:

How can Sainz be DOW when he was consistently slower than his teammate and only lucked into contention for the win?

For once there is promising pace in the car, and of course it breaks down. Few people have worse luck than Alonso.

Whoever needed that confirmation though, on downright pace Sainz never looked better than Leclerc. Last year, Sainz was extremely motivated and excelled with his consistency. I’m curious to see how he will deal […]

You are probably right. One way or another, headlines are there to trigger a reaction in the reader. However, I fear that waving past with the help of DRS is now clever and exciting racing.

How is it savvy or smart to wait with the overtake for the second and longer DRS zone? Actually I was surprised Max even tried it the first time around, a sign that he is still is a little too impatient. However I […]

If Bottas actually had a choice, he would have chosen to stay.

It’s understandable that Ferrari’s success and RedBull’s misfortune dominate the headlines, but the three Mercedes customer teams finishing last is equally shocking. How much of that is down to individual problems […]

I made the same observation. Max was 7 to 8 tenth behind Charles when making those passes into T1. In the last sector he lost about 3 tenth alone. Maybe it’s still too early to call the new regs a failure, but […]

Now, if only Lewis was genuine too, could be a great relationship. (:

I’m afraid that a collective punishment of Russian citizens will send the wrong message to the people. It suits Putins (CCPs too) narrative of a pretentious, self-righteous and hypocritical western society.

Mick had a solid season, qualifying dominance and some formidable races too. I rank him 13th overall.

Definitely strange. The only explanation I can think of is that Perez is an extremely popular driver, while Bottas has often been ridiculed in recent years and his strengths (Qualifying) are regularly […]

This is not an honest way to own up to your mistakes. It’s the typical “I did wrong, but so did others” kind of excuse. Damage limitation. Not that Horner would do it any different.

I’m sure he’ll be doing fine with the occasional annoucement of sustainability breakthroughs such as “trackside straws are now bio-degradable”.

You can’t make this stuff up. Brilliant!

It wasn’t intentional, just incompetence. Bottas is a great qualifier, but his racecraft is mostly subpar. At least he didn’t cause another carnage. Still I think Lewis should have kept his mouth shut. Same with […]
