Had the first episode running while doing other stuff at home and didn’t find a moment that caught my attention. Quit altogether in the middle of the second episode. Keeping a Netflix subscription is becoming even […]

For a feeder series, having a 3-year limit will not mean quality drivers filling all the slots, as otherwise you will have paid young drivers instead of paid experienced ones.

Mandatorily having one rookie per […]

Indeed, you can spot the ones who are a notch above others. I would only classify Alonso, Hamilton and Verstappen as Tier 1 talent in the current field who are able to get the maximum out of what’s available, […]

Considering how popular the grooved tyres were at the beginning of the millennium, I am pretty sure your suggestion will find plenty of support.

I would consider the extent of electronics, mappings, semi-auto transmission, track surfaces, audio cues, radio messages to be all artificial.

People selectively pick changes occurring recently as artificial in […]

This is the case in MotoGP where the Dukes, including those from last year with the satellite teams, are far too good on power tracks, thereby making life difficult for other factory teams.

It certainly messes […]

The status quo for several years was arbitrary track limits. The change was to have a black and white track limit. What he is stating is to have arbitrary track-based limits again. Thus, his point is illogical as […]

So he wasn’t expecting pole, but was expecting to be less than 2 hundredths slower than Verstappen to make the front row. Absolutely bonkers.

And if you believe the other what-ifs, Piastri’s management had already informed Alpine in July about the new contract, as had McLaren informed Riccardo to initiate the contract-release negotiations.

Alpine was […]

The FIA confirmed Verstappen, Norris and Ocon are all required to start from the back of the grid as they have all collected more than 15 grid place penalties.

Leclerc, Schumacher and Bottas have collected grid […]

It has been entertainment for a long time. India even taxed F1 as entertainment and not sports. F1 is even called a travelling circus.

The primary intent is entertainment for the viewers, much like an […]

There is nothing called as true racing. It is extremely subjective and has evolved over the years. I would hark back to the 1950s and call that true racing, which would be impossible to replicate in today’s […]

The COTD is a bit of a stretch indeed. Team Enstone has always been his safe house. You can’t fault someone for taking up a challenge, irrespective of how it pans out.

The Aston one is the most logical as it […]

India rightly taxed F1 as entertainment rather than sport making it magnitudes more expensive and the Buddh International circuit has been sealed ever since the owners went bankrupt. So, don’t expect a F1 race in […]

And the minimum weight goes beyond 800 kg.

You do know that synthetic fuels already exist and they don’t have a much lower footprint than fossil fuels.

If F1 is doing this for marketing, then expect nothing. If they are doing it for extreme e […]

It is well enough to admit being a hypocrite and I deride comparative blame games considering the environment is absolute, but the bigger point is to start making the change at home, which implies F1 has to do a […]

Really not sure. There are some blogs stating that Ferrari made a strategic error in going back to the older unit, whereas others mention that the second unit was used after the replacement of the turbo and MGU-H […]

Leclerc will either have to revert to his original power unit

Wasn’t the power unit that failed the original one? I thought the one that failed in Barcelona was PU2 introduced at Miami.

Considering the turbo […]

The repetition of Q1, Q2 and Q3 is actually not that great.

In MotoGP, Q1 has more value as it is based on practice times with those going through actually having a shot at pole.

Formula E has a much better […]
