He won the Sakhir Grand Prix after dropping to last place on the first lap, in a Racing Point. The guy can drive, and he can pass. To put his performance in Bahrain down to the Red Bull is to under estimate Perez’s ability.

Radical idea incoming – pay the drivers less, pay the team principals less, and keep more of the hard working staff that are on lower wages. Halving a driver salary still provides drivers with massive pay, yet […]

In what world is a 23 year old a kid?

Seems sensible to me

The important thing to note is that a lot of these higher end rigs are insanely over engineered for no other reason than to look “pro”. The people selling them must have some incrediable margins.

All you […]

I think it’s an issue that Liberty inherited from the Eccelstone era. Liberty have been doing a lot to bring F1 to the 21st century. I would imagine that getting a better esports presence will be moving up their […]

The Racer article is extremely negative in it’s tone. So what if guys like Sage Karam are doing hundreds of laps practicing? At the end of the day each of the drivers are paid to be the best race drivers they can […]

Also, would be handy if they could not make it clash with Bathurst.

Seems pretty silly to keep scheduling the Japanese Grand Prix in typhoon season. It feels like nearly every year the weather impacts activities at Suzuka.

It would be a fairer and better business model for the circuits, and probably better for motorsport as a whole, as a circuits not losing money has to be a good thing. I’d like to see it.

For FOM however, the […]

Methinks the Gasly doth protest too much

Correct. From the Forbes article linked below. Worldwide electricity generation:

Coal 41%
Gas 22%
Nuclear 11%
Other 26%

To me this means that at most 26% of the world’s electricity usage is some form of […]

F1 should reflect on why they let Alonso stay in the sport for so long. Rightly or wrongly his name has been associated with multiple controversies over the years. For someone who is apparently such a good driver […]

I would love to know just how much meddling goes on behind the scenes at both Toro Rosso and Red Bull Racing by a certain advisor to Red Bull. Compared to other teams (aside from maybe Ferrari), if you’re not […]

I agree. Real champions want to compete against the best, not be given “easy victories” by running the only car in its class.

If he manages to win Indy500, that will be a real victory. Le Mans however, I’d […]

The problem with McLaren going to Indycar is that it dilutes the value of their brand. Not because Indycar isn’t competitive, it is, but because it’s an automotive manufacturer racing a car designed and man […]

Really? Max Vestappen has threatened physical abuse against journalists if they keep asking him questions that he didn’t like, and you’re trying to defend that? He is grossly out of line, and this sort of beh […]

I hired one of these at the 2011 Australian Grand Prix. At the time it was really great and well worth the money.

Hopefully with advances in technology their units in 2018 are much more compact, or they have […]

Exactly, and drive top fuel cars, fly in space shuttles, and ride on roller coasters. I believe a capable woman is able to be competitive in Formula 1.

60 hours, I don’t think so. This service includes all sessions, support categories, press conferences etc, plus every F1 car on board.

I would anticipate that per race weekend there would be in the order of a […]
