@gsagostinho Thanks for bringing this up, because without your post I wouldn’t have realized the difference. That is indeed hugely significant towards understanding the data and their reaction to it.

A 6.7% […]

Out of curiosity, what was it you liked about F1 that you feel is lacking in IndyCar?

I’m not saying you’re wrong, I just genuinely want to know.

Japan’s Super Formula actually has the fastest cars next to F1, but it’s almost impossible to watch…

I’m not as young as I once was, but at 28 I still think I’m on the younger end of F1 viewers and a bonafide Millennial. I am not in favor of this absurd sprint qualifying concept.

Re: COTD, I don’t know how you can call golf a sport with ‘brief bursts of action’. It’s a sport entirely devoid of action! If the viewing public finds a Grand Prix boring, it’s beyond me how they can get through […]

The Formula E ‘duel’ format sounds like it’s basically a hackneyed version of the IndyCar group qualifying, so at least it ought to be a clear improvement on what they have right now. While it will force some […]

Yes, it is pathetic how some people feel the need to prove their internet machismo by taking the most absurd, over the top anti-safety stance they can.

Agreed, @sean-p-newmanlive-co-uk

I think you’ve really nailed it with this line: “Its unpredictable, but not too random, the cream always rises.”

That’s what IndyCar has that F1 or Formula E don’t. The races […]

On a serious note, Extended Grand Chelem? Grand Sprint Chelem?

While it’s pretty clear that McLaren exaggerated Honda’s share of the blame for their struggles, there’s no getting away from the fact that in 2015 and 2016 the Honda engine was absolutely awful. They improved the […]

I think Villeneuve was just talking about Alonso’s setup, not the cars of Alonso-led teams in general. Massa and Raikkonen presumably uses their own setups.

The problem with your analogy is that T20 cricket is an alternative to traditional long-form cricket, and is being played in different events at different times. If you proposed replacing the Ashes […]

Completely agree with the COTD. Chasing casual viewers is nothing more than a surefire way to alienate the actual fan base. Casuals watch because a sport is popular; to attract casuals, you need a strong product […]

Is it a problem that the tyre used by the Pinnacle of Motorsport has an operating window so narrow that it needs a microscope to find, and will explode if you take it even marginally outside that window?

No? […]

Anyone who thinks F1 is a solo sport is absolutely fooling themselves. The driver is the least important element of the entire chain, and can achieve absolutely nothing without that ‘backup crew’.

Honestly, […]

Re: COTD

Every other sport on the planet features top level competitors being coached. Nobody talks about how sad it is that Messi gets coaching. Why is it sad for a driver? I find the idea that drivers should […]

The unofficial crowd figure for the Indy 500 almost always *is* in excess of the capacity, as a matter of fact. People sit on grass and walk around the infield without a seat. It’s very common to see a figure of […]

He ran out of patience, I agree. But from my memory of the move he was fully alongside before the apex and Hinch decided to turn in as if he wasn’t there. I think it’s debatable where the lack of talent lay in that collision.

The ability to decide how many laps the race runs is a little bit more powerful than what any F1 driver will have on restart.

Beaten to the punch by James, but they do indeed refer to the whole thing as the Aeroscreen without differentiating its components.

As a point of trivia, this isn’t the first time Hunter-Reay has avoided a […]
