I think (or hope) he does well. Being an outsider to the Ferrari culture means he is less susceptible to the Ferrari groupthink.

I think the criticism that he hasn’t promised to make drastic changes until he […]

Multi-stage knockout with superpole.

Multi-stage knockout is a decent way of trimming down the field. However, it’s not the best in terms of actually seeing a qualifying lap. Most of the time its a zoomed in […]

Guenther pretending Haas isn’t a backmarker team.

At least the other teams that share the back third of the grid have won a race some time in their history.

Strongly agree.

I’m surprised so many people disagree. Maybe the word pedigree is confusing. It’s not “being a car brand with a history in motorsport,” it’s any team with experience and success in […]

It will be interesting to see if Zak Brown makes the jump.

Carlos preparing for his meeting with the teams strategists.

I appear to be a minority opinion here, but I don’t mind the sprint races. I wouldn’t have them for every race, and definitely not any of the “classic” rounds, though.

As an Aussie, most Grands Prix start at an […]

Binotto was both a victim and an enabler of the toxic blame culture at Ferrari.

He was often quite willing to throw his team under the bus when things didn’t go right. It was a learned behaviour from decades of […]

Of course other teams are going to say it is way too lenient. That is the default response from rivals in such a highly political sport. To them, anything short of being hung, drawn and quartered is too […]

Looks like Adrian has discovered the loophole that excludes hospitality and catering expenses from the budget cap.

I know the teams will still game the rules by “pretending” to have a mechanical failure. The deterrent here is that you have to throw away a race result to do it. If a car is outside of the points in a race and […]

Rather than grid penalties, only allow engine replacements beyond the three where the driver has retired from the previous event for a mechanical issue or a crash which has compromised the integrity of the […]

I’m sure Ferrari’s strategists have something special up their sleeves to screw up Charles’ race.

Otmar and Mattia probably need to spend less time in the back of the garage inhaling exhaust fumes. They both appear to be suffering severe delusions.

Reading elsewhere, it looks like the Alpine contract was for an F2 seat (not F1) but had the ability to promote him to F1 should they choose. However, the contract was frustrated by Oscar winning the championship […]

Since Otmar has said that there wasn’t a “July 31” clause in the contract, then there must be some other provision in the contract which caused their contract to be invalidated.

Pure speculation on my part, but […]

I reject your reality, and substitute my own!

Every time this comes up, I make the same comment.

Giant foam/inflatable blocks positioned at points where track limits are abused. Consequences in the rule book for hitting them, as well as potential car […]

I’m sure they were equally as concerned when Jean Todt was FIA President.

Piquet Jnr?
