I’d say the way the 2 incidents are comparable is this: in Canada they ignored the spirit of the rules and went with the letter of the law(and then some) to justify the penalty. In Austria they decided that the s […]

As a Ferrari fan first, its been tough this year, however the thing no-one seems to mention is how much bad luck Vettel had? In Baku we remember his mistake but forget he was miles out front until the safety car. […]

I’m less against this proposal than I thought I’d be. Seems a lot fairer to the smaller teams.

On the topic of payments to historic teams, I actually like the idea, although I think we should include more teams […]

You need to watch the incident again. It was Hill who did the ramming.

Jeez you guys are real Richards about him being honest as to the problem. A problem which may have been of his own causing, but I’d rather he talk about the issue than not. Cut him some slack! (coming from an […]

Don’t agree at all. If he’s have come straight back on the track he would have merged straight into the following pack and caused an accident. Taking the straighter line back onto the track allowed others to see […]

More tyre degradation leads to more on-track action

This effect is what has led to the current mess F1 is in. The issue now is that with aero dominating over mechanical grip, by making the tyres less durable, […]

Actually you can, its what we used to have. You can make tyres that are durable(ie. don’t fall apart) and safe, and also perform well on the track. The problem with the current Pirellis is that the hard compounds […]

@robbie Nonsense – you can keep repeating it, but it won’t be true. A shame really as some of your posts are rather good, however this fantasy gets old.

Agreed! Added to this the tires cannot be pushed to effect an overtake in non-DRS areas, so drivers don’t bother trying. So frustrating to watch…I’m fast falling out of love with F1, despite having watched it […]

+1 Finally a balanced view on this.

@vettel1 I only extend the blame to the teams in that they subscribe to this notion of ‘the show’. I don’t think the teams should have such a major say in the way the sport is run, as they generally only serve […]

I disagree that the Red Bull was the fastest car over the first half of the season. I just think they have done an excellent job to win races where their rivals were just as quick or quicker, but made mistakes. […]

The thing is, Ferrari are right. They have probably been affected most by the recent changes to the tires. Was the change necessary? Yes, however it doesn’t alter the facts. This season is looking like a complete […]

@Abdurahman please tell me where you shop, as my weekly shop is well over £100!

Before the haters jump in with knives drawn, remember that prosecution is defined as:
noun
1.
Law.
a.
the institution and carrying on of legal proceedings against a person.
b.
the body of officials by whom […]

but surely you can strive to design a car which will be easier on its tyres at the expense of other performance areas? Even if you don’t have access to actual compound?

err. No. The tyres operate within set operating temperatures which are directly linked to the compound. So amending the compound to make it more durable will affect its temperature operating window, which some […]
