how does customer teams work? If I’m HAAS can I switch from Ferrari Power to Honda? Also, can I eventually get HAAS around to designing and manufacturing their own PU (likely wouldn’t bother but worth the ask)? […]

So maybe Ferrari was right about RBR spending 75% of their budget already? lol. Looks like the cap is working as intended. I don’t buy the fact that teams are at risk of missing races as that is budgeted before the season.

@robbie
I’m willing to bet RBR is some where in between the 75% and 18% spent range. None the less, weight savings cost’s a lot of money. It’s not an easy/cheap task to shred weight as it usually means redesign […]

For one this is a low speed section so I’m not so sure it is a huge “safety concern”. I do agree there needs to be something (tires at a minimum) to help lesson the amount of damage to cars though.

@nullapax
Yes, when it rains it comes down hard. With that said, the nice thing is that the rain passes through quickly and doesn’t sit around. On the other token, the storms can pop-up quickly.

@muzza
How has Ferrari not routinely finished? Ferrari has finished 83.3% of the first three races (one car DNF’ed) that was entirely on Sainz. RBR however has finished only 50% of their races (3 DNF’ed) in three races.

Then don’t use the red flag at all if safety isn’t for safety concerns. We can’t add special circumstances for specific situations as it will add confusion to the meaning behind the red flag. TBH, I don’t see the […]

@romtrain
Absolutely not. Red flag means there is a safety concern. If medical needs to react immediately, they can’t have cars going full bore around the track. So no. Red flag in ALL racing series is to come to […]

Its a street course if the roads are open for public use outside of the race weekend.

@jerejj
Sure, its likely less used than Albert Park, but that is likely because its on its own island and the only thing there is a casino! Plus the metro stop goes to it. none the less the roads are open to the […]

@jerejj
Montreal is a race that I’ve attended three times. Ciruit Gilles Villeneuve is on park roads similar to that of Melbourne.

Argh… another street race! F1 already has 9 street races on a 22 race calendar for this year (10 out of 23 if Russia race was still on the calendar). That makes almost half the races are on the streets. Far too […]

@mattds
Both did great in both the first two rounds. We’ve seen some good hard fought clean racing and that is a win for us fans! Hopefully it stays clean!

Though, I have to say… this DRS gaming is getting a […]

@tommy-c
Us Ferrari fan’s are just happy to see the red cars fighting for wins again. Leclerc has really been impressive and has been on it out of the gate. I’m hoping his driving mistakes don’t creep back in. So […]

Just saw the replay again… Stroll completely left the door open and Albon was well along side. Albon only locked up when he realized Stroll was just going to cut down on him. Bad ruling by the stewards.

Albon was well along side (at least half way up which I consider well along side) and Stroll just chopped in on him. At least from the few shots that I saw I would have thought Stroll was most at fault.

@stjs16
I think its more about the way RBR went low downforce and focused on a fast 2nd and 3rd sector. Alfa Tauri wasn’t nearly as strong as RBR was on the straights. I think both PU manufacturers have similar […]

@amg44
You should also add Stroll to that list with Latifi. Like what was he thinking just coming down like that on Albon.

I would not consider these “aggressive” curbs. Firstly, I’m glad to see Mick is okay from that hard hit.

Personally, the drivers can do better. The curb use is a high risk high reward thing. You hit them wrong […]

@peartree
1) your link is of 2017 so it shows and proves nothing
2) why take a dig at someone in how long they have watched F1? What does that have to do with with anything? For your information, I’ve watched F1 […]
