And that is the real problem – agreed. In my simplistict view, all teams should be rewarded the same, but the best performing teams will naturally attract the more lucrative sponsorship. But I get the real world […]

With the new cost cap coming in. The FIA has an opportunity to look into the points system and if it’s still needed. The original design was to stop drivers paying for seats who don’t have enough experience, ergo […]

For a minute there I thought it was going to be broadcast live on Youtube like Fe. But no, stick it behind a paywall. Thanks Sky!

Here is my idea for a four part qualifying session (written 3 years ago!). I still maintain it’s a good idea!

Just make the whole track a DRS zone and let the drivers get on with it!

Hate to say it…but I could get used to the cars looking like that. But a precedent has to be set. Is F1 a open, or closed cockpit formula?

Well, every race can’t be a pass-fest with Mercedes drivers either crashing into each other or blowing up. If every race was as exciting as Barcelona everyone would soon start saying “When will the mercs get their […]

@gt-racer I did not know that about Adrian Newey. Thanks for the info.

Well Damon was my childhood hero driver so possible wearing rose tinted glasses! But I do think people underrate him. Any driver who can say they were robbed of certain victory whilst driving for Arrows has to be […]

Ahhh Williams were so disrespectful to Hill for dropping him for 1997. One can only imagine what Damon could’ve done with the car Williams had in ’97. Could’ve easily have been a 2 time champion, then move to […]

You know what they say about too much of a good thing

hear hear

haha yes indeed that would be preferable. I would also take opening up the rules so drivers can use the DRS whenever they like

I would like F1 to at least try conducting a normal race where DRS is not allowed. Just to see the difference (If an) it would make to the “spectacle”. I doubt this will happen however.

I wasn’t convinced by these changes. But then I saw the front view of the 2017 car and wow. Thats what an F1 car should look like (As far as I’m concerned anyway!). Just hope the racing produced by these cars will […]

Indeed averaging the times in the way they are proposing won’t change anything the ranking. But I would argue that the times would at least then look representative of a single lap and we won’t have a driver on […]

Why does it have to be an aggregate of two fastest laps? Why can’t it be the average time of those two laps? At least that way the grid won’t look ridiculous. Or is the concept of an “average” deemed too […]

I preferred the old system, but if F1 does need to have a qualifying skake up. How about this:

One hour session split into 4 segments. All drivers can be on the track whenever they want.
After 15mins each […]

I wish F1 would bring back 1 hour qualifying sessions. Those were always about the natural build up to the final 10 minutes which were almost always exciting where the track conditions were at their best. Maybe […]
