When the halo was brought in, nobody was discussing whether it would favour one team or another. Here, it’s all anyone is discussing. I don’t think the fact that someone acknowledged that is proof of anything but […]

That’s what I thought, too. Surely Perez and Red Bull, with all the data available to them, knew that he’d exceeded track limits. If so, they knew he should not have progressed to Q3, so their waste of tyres was […]

What other people get from my response, or lack thereof, is beyond my control.

This is like saying “I’m great at communicating, everyone just sucks at listening”.

If you know that something will be inferred […]

Precisely. This comes across as “I’m sorry you were offended, but I didn’t do anything offensive so you are just misunderstanding me and it’s all your fault”. It isn’t a real apology.

Nobody is unsafe because of some word the big bad nasty man said 7 months earlier

I would ask you to talk to people from different backgrounds before making sweeping statements like this.

Firstly, many I […]

Unfortunately, right-wing and far-right have ended up with multiple meanings, as have left-wing and far-left.

Economically, in its original meaning, BoJo and the current government are to the left of Thatcher […]

By the standards of the time, I agree that the previous generation were probably no more racist than the present.

However, standards have changed, and not all from previous generations have accepted that […]

Firstly, that seems in direct contradiction to the opinion of many Max fans when Lewis went offline between last season and this. I won’t say that I’m certain that you were one of those calling him out on it, and […]

Highly unlikely. The changes outlined are more likely to negatively affect Mercedes than any other team.

In fact, these changes look most likely to benefit RBR, as they are exhibiting one of the least amounts […]

Let say every 2000 vibration that exceed 6mm are equal to 0.5 second time penalty.

Given they are looking at limiting acceleration, not displacement, this is unlikely.

More likely is that they place an upper […]

Actually, it’s targeting vertical acceleration, not travel. Larger amplitude doesn’t mean higher acceleration if the frequency is lower. The London Eye has a much larger amplitude than most rollercoasters…

I’m not certain looking at the place difference after the pass is the right thing to do. I strongly doubt that, even if Perez had ended up lapping faster afterwards, the team would have made the same call in his […]

You’re not wrong. A large part of the development costs are staffing. Even entirely stopping the development of the car will achieve little in the way of savings if they continue to pay for the staff who would […]

The smaller teams do not HAVE the money to spend more (they are not operating at the budget cap), regardless of the cap.

Precisely.

As with the post above, I would suggest a punitive redistribution. […]

I’ve seen it stay for several laps, and it only takes a few seconds at most to scan down the list to see who is doing what. If it needs to be there longer, why not put it alongside the gaps, or alternate?

Feedback from such information-devoid broadcasting would inevitably influence and alter their direction decisions eventually.

Anecdotally from my previous discussions with fans, the feedback they would be most […]

When I go to the track for F1, it’s a completely different situation. I enjoy the racing less, to be honest, as I see much less of it and it is hard to follow when you can only see one small section of track, but […]

The Sky Sports bias that is constantly pushed doesn’t help either. Yes, it’s the British coverage and there’s nothing wrong at all with supporting your compatriot, but Sky is the WORLD broadcaster. It really shoul […]

But it’s fair to say, that if the car ends up been a midfield bus, then Russell will get more points – that’s simply because he’s far more used to been down amongst the also-rans, so has less negativity about t […]

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but mine is the complete opposite to yours. More data made the races more enjoyable for me. I used to sit with my laptop, tablet and phone all showing different data from the […]
