SaMa commented on the post, Netflix's 'Formula 1: Drive to Survive" season five: Spoiler-free review 3 months, 1 week ago
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 […]

SaMa commented on the post, Nissany and rookie Benavides take seats at rebranded PHM by Charouz F2 team 6 months, 1 week ago
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 […]

SaMa commented on the post, Alpine unreliability like Honda days but only my car breaks down – Alonso 7 months, 1 week ago
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, […]

SaMa commented on the post, Does F1 only need slicks and wets? The case for dropping intermediate tyres 7 months, 3 weeks ago
Considering how popular the grooved tyres were at the beginning of the millennium, I am pretty sure your suggestion will find plenty of support.

SaMa commented on the post, Does F1 only need slicks and wets? The case for dropping intermediate tyres 7 months, 3 weeks ago
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 […]

SaMa commented on the post, Red Bull plan capacity to supply up to four F1 teams with engines 8 months, 3 weeks ago
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 […]

SaMa commented on the post, Enforcing track limits at Lesmo 2 "silly and unnecessary" – Magnussen 9 months ago
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 […]

SaMa commented on the post, Hamilton: Front row was possible, pole "highly optimistic" without Perez yellow flag 9 months, 1 week ago
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.

SaMa commented on the post, McLaren unimpressed with 'inappropriate, unfair' comments on Piastri signing 9 months, 1 week ago
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 […]

SaMa commented on the post, F1 needs less practice, more points-paying sessions at race weekends – Domenicali 9 months, 2 weeks ago
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 […]

SaMa commented on the post, F1 needs less practice, more points-paying sessions at race weekends – Domenicali 9 months, 2 weeks ago
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 […]

SaMa commented on the post, Mercedes should "keep open mind" over unique car concept – Russell 10 months, 1 week ago
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 […]

SaMa commented on the post, Sausage kerbs removed at Paul Ricard "shouldn't ever come back" – Vettel 10 months, 2 weeks ago
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 […]

SaMa commented on the post, Mercedes don't want new F1 power unit debate "dragging out" beyond summer 11 months, 2 weeks ago
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 […]

SaMa commented on the post, "Yes I am a hypocrite" admits Vettel after politician's broadside over oil sands helmet 11 months, 3 weeks ago
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 […]

SaMa commented on the post, Ferrari will use "short-term fix" for Sainz's hydraulics failure in Canada 11 months, 4 weeks ago
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 […]

SaMa commented on the post, Bring back one-lap qualifying to stop drivers getting in each others' way – Alonso 12 months ago
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 […]
