Big foam blocks, similar to brake markers. Positioned at points where track limits are an issue. Drivers would instinctively seek to avoid hitting them. They may cause minor damage to fragile aero components, but […]

Those wondering why world champions from the 90s have been left off and some drivers that didn’t win a championship are on the list need to remember that this is a video game. 1996 was 25 years ago, which means […]

Big foam/inflatable sponsorship blocks at points where the track limits are typically abused. Hit one and receive a penalty.

Start putting big inflatable/foam blocks with sponsorship on them at the points in the track where track limits are being abused. Touch one and it’s an automatic penalty. Shouldn’t be too much of a safety risk, […]

As a fellow Aussie, I agree with you 100%.

Races starting at 11:10pm Sunday night or even 12:10am on Monday morning during daylight savings is challenging for people that have to go to work in the morning.

I […]

Power cap and loose rules and be done with it.

Writing very specific rules to mandate specific technologies is a great way to make the wrong choice.

Let the teams and engine suppliers work out what the best […]

It all makes sense for both parties to pursue this.

Hamilton (the watchmaker) obviously wants to ensure that their brand is protected.

Lewis Hamilton as a brand may want to pursue watch branding […]

Otmar Szafnauer giving a strident defence of the bosses son, even when he was so obviously in the wrong was my highlight.

Performance based specifications. Max power limit, fuel consumption limits etc.

The current prescriptive regulations make it difficult for manufacturers to engage in a way that is cost-effective and provides […]

Horner is typically very precise in his wording. His wording does not completely rule out the possibility.

Without knowing the typical contents and way F1 driver contracts are written, I would assume that there […]

The inclusion of “business” in the phrase “new engineering business challenge” implies that the focus will be on the business side of things. If it was Ferrari, the focus would be on the engineering, as the […]

“Ex-Ferrari boss denies conflict of interest with Ferrari to Italian newspaper”

I should say “30 days is a common notice period where I am.”

I don’t think it is, because that would be termination for cause, which can be effective immediately.

However, in this instance, Claire Williams uses the term “served notice,” which implies a notice period. I’m […]

Sensible to limit development on an engine which is going to be replaced soon.

As for the replacement engine formula, I think a simple power cap is all that is required. Everything else is carte blanche.

If […]

The most costly scenario to everyone involved is to pretend that races will go ahead, only to cancel at the last minute.
Tracks have to spend millions organising the event. Teams have to commit resources to […]

I think it is inevitable that the entire season will be postponed. The countries where the teams are based (primarily the UK and Italy) are heavily affected by Covid-19 at present, and that looks to continue for […]

“I’m looking forward to racing alongside my mate Shane, or Pastor, as I call him.”

Must feel bad being Pastor, when Verstappen of all people uses your name as a nickname for someone who runs into other cars a lot.

Dad, how long until we get to the part where you win a race?

Mattia doesn’t appear to be enjoying the “luxury” of having two iPhones.
