Lewis’s front left wheel rim was cracked. He would have had to make an extra pitstop. No way he risks that on purpose. Lewis drives a risk averse race strategy. That’s why he backed out when he was on the outside […]

Was watching the sector times on the F1 app. Mercedes had an advantage in all 3 but Redbull are still chasing set up so could be close.

Mercedes in the same appeal pointed out that Max with 100kg of fuel on board entered that corner 1km/hr quicker than he had done on his QUALIFYING lap!

If you’re going to be objective you have to see neither […]

@mysticus yeah but I like playing with mice every now and again! That weird spec on your avatar triggers me! Looks like a fly I want to swat! Can you change it! Maybe an aura or something?

@bascb you are entirely correct!

@kingshark I didn’t see Max trying to go round the outside of Copse on Leclerc! In fact all of those on track incidents where Charles forced him off the track was where there was run off and Max kept his foot in, […]

@fer-no65 Speaking as somebody who is involved with the industry you speak of, that’s not how it works. The first thing you do is take a similarly skilled and experienced pilot and get them to fly the parameters […]

@kingshark actually, all this shows is what happens when Max races Max in another car. People have been jumping out of his way for years because their version of risk is different from his. Max NEVER avoids an […]

Jeez! It’s amazing how someone can give so much time to a sport but refuse to understand anything about it! I wonder why on the Saturday sprint race when Lewis went up the outside of Max at Copse, he backed out? […]

To add, the one run only quali for the sprint race would be more likely to produce an upset in the sprint race order than the Q1,2,3 format.

Be interesting to see the thoughts on this.

Friday practice 1 go back to 90 mins.

Friday evening qualifying for Sunday’s race, standard format Q1,2,3. So Friday night we know the grid for […]

@robbie @david-br I’ll weigh in with some logic on the stewards statement. “Predominantly” doesn’t mean wholly or completely to blame. It means “mostly” to blame. So if Hamilton was judged to have been […]

@rocketpanda The stewards judged Grosjean to be wholly to blame and had demonstrated dangerous driving consistent with previous incidents hence the ban.
The difference here and the reason people keep saying […]

@peartree in short, no they don’t! Online baiting is a massive industry. You only need to compare the crowds that attended Silverstone to the online community and you can see the difference. Fans vs fomentors. A f […]

@stefmeister true, but the greater point of the original inquiry is what can be changed in performance terms to which the correct answer is, nothing! My job, both professionally and online is to explain things in […]

That was an epic session from a Brit perspective! Did anyone else have a hernia when Lewis slid the rear and you were waiting for Max’s time!!!!! George too, what a lap!!! A Red helmet will once again drive a Merc […]

@petebaldwin This is when you need to have the details. Track temp played a key role in this session, and if you go back to Austria P2, the cooler temps favoured Mercedes. Both the sprint race and the main race […]

I was looking forward to some proper battles for the lead over the next few races. Oh well! Even if Merc pull back half a second in quali, Max will still be comfortably faster.

@zapski They are only allowed to change a prescribed list including clutch and consumables after today, no suspension or aero can be changed after quali this evening.
