Fair points, all.

I was attempting to limit my comment to: “I am against a system that would stop Max from racing and allows Mazepin”. That, I’m sure of.
I’m not sure how to fix it, though.

In truth, (and […]

Your point about following the rules would resonate further if the purpose and results of the revised Supelicense rules worked. For me, they do not.

The new rules were a reaction to Max’s quick rise into F1. […]

I agree. For sure.

There have far fewer questions of ‘sporting legitimacy’ this year (which was insufferably common last season).

It feels like an improvement this season.

Valtteri, this is James. Do not hold Bernd up.

It’s all about the venue and the entire package of the location and the venue. Nobody was asking for a Texas race 15 years ago and it’s been a success. It seems odd to be talking about this before we even do Mia […]

Yes. Keith’s mind is made up on this issue and it shows every time he writes about it.

What has most confused me about these Sprint events is that they’ve decided to add these events at some of most iconic and well supported local events. Nobody needs help getting excited for Silverstone, Monza, and […]

There’s clearly more to this than I understand. He says that they needed more lead time to make the wheels…? Aren’t the wheels provided by a supplier like OZ? I knew that the team was involved in the design of […]

Great points. Nice.

I’m glad they are finally trying to correct the quality of the racing. Hope it works.

I think the long camera shots encouraged by Yas’ layout (and also Paul Ricard) are also somewhat to blame for the dull vis […]

The balance of ‘gentle on tires’ and ‘can’t get temp into the tires’ seems like a really tricky compromise across the whole of the season.

It’s also sort of a boring talking point for as prominent as it is […]

Yes. Exactly.

I’m not sure when he wasn’t broken, but he’s become something of a sad charactor at this point. He needs to go somewhere where his best effort means something. That is not Merc.

The fact that […]

It seems today that COVID is primarily transmitted through the air and not from surfaces…so the mask and playing cards aren’t entirely contradictory and Checo already had the virus and is/was probably i […]

I wasn’t expecting British Racing Teal.

I’ve read a lot of positive comments on this livery, but oof. Teal and bright pink. For me it’s rough.

Ocon’s helmet re-paint is a nice improvment.

They certainly know better than us, but he seemed something like serviceable from the outside.

He’s proven that he can come close to Lewis and can frequently take second when Lewis wins. That’s his job and it’s easier said than done.
