@davids this is not some playground where they are supposed to make sure that all children get equal time and learn from their mistakes. If anything, Red Bull has now stolen 3 championships and there’s no […]

@davids I think your point about a grid drop being a weak deterrent is valid. Especially since the new rules allow greater opportunities to follow and overtake compared to the previous set of regulations. The way […]

@davids Seems to fit. @bernasaurus I guess they felt that they only move left was to try bouncing a young driver into agreeing to race for them by making it sound done and dusted. I can see Alpine’s side to some […]

@davidS that’s interesting and kinda perhaps makes a bit of sense. Regardless of what the contract looked like, or whether it was Otmar or Rossi or whomever. Alpine look like idiots, bullies – incompetent? This a […]

@davids
Jean Todt was sacked by Marchionne who was FIAT CEO – mother company of Ferrari at the time before the split – after winning both championships in 2007 because of his spending habits. He didn’t have any […]

@davids Good title fight, generally not as exciting when looking at individual races. How many true battles for the lead did we have for any race? USA, Germany, and China are the only races where there was a […]

Nah Adrian, it’s probably much more cynical so the FIA can say they did something while still, as @davids mentions, not actually changing much at all.

@davids Yeah and also retiring the boss’s son because they wanted to prevent him from embarrassing himself again by spinning out…. Those were his literal words. Astonishing really.

Meanwhile Perez, despite […]

@davids Amazing how almost all of those designs are just awful in regards to being recognizable. Mostly just a combination of red and white plus blue or orange.

@davids – I disagree with part of your assessment on standardized parts. Moving into a budget cap scenario, to me it makes sense to standardize some parts to reduce spending on development in certain areas and […]

When exactly did Red Bull ask/require/direct Webber to move aside for Vettel? Other than that one time in Brazil 2012 after Webber had already blocked Vettel at the first corner? List the instances please @davids

@davids I’ve always found single car/lap qualifying to be quite dull be it if it’s the whole field as F1 was doing in 2003-2005 or just the top 10.

The way it is now you may not see every lap or every sector […]

@davids I think even achieving one WDC in F1 puts a driver in a very unique and elite group in the annals of motor car racing. Not sure if you are a big fan of F1, but you are doing it a disservice by reducing […]

Thanks to @davids (below) for posting the financial reports. The $30.6m financial assets is what is written as “Change in fair value of derivatives recognised through cash flow hedge reserve” – which hardly helps […]

@davids In terms of passes, it’ll surely deliver. Turns 18 and 19 will be flat-out (Turn 20, the little kink after the left-right flick as well, obviously) and so it’s indeed a massive 2km long straight.

It’s a […]

@davids The problem with the free expression logic is that once one manufacturer latches onto the best plan (case in point – Mercedes), the rest will just copy them (case in point – Honda) and it all ends up […]

God, no, @DavidS

We had that sort of thing here in one of the national series and it’s incredibly, INCREDIBLY, confusing and worst of all, sometimes even each cup can be decided before the last race of the cup, […]

@DavidS I really like that idea, it would be like having five mini seasons within a season. Many series have tried things like it (ex. NASCAR’s Winston Million, Indycar’s Triple Crown of 500 mile ovals, Tudor […]

@davids That with a hint of Korea and Abu Dhabi.
