Is there some kind of black-ban on McLaren reporting, Norris more or less finished where he started but Ricciardo somehow magiced himself from 17th. to 5th. (was he told not to race Norris ?) but neither driver’s […]

Thanks for the info @juan-fanger, risky business, tyres still too influential for me.

Yes, it’s very peculiar that there were many times set in Q2 that were better than the same drivers could achieve in Q3 despite no mention of rain or red/yellow flags, track temperature seems to be the only […]

Well there is still an alternative that will
1. decrease costs and increase performance across the teams
2. eliminate porpoising
3. hopefully remove the need for DRS.
Bring back the fan-car !

PS. that is a […]

@sjaakfoo, Very well reasoned. However I suspect the phone’s of Webber and Piastri were very busy before Piastri posted his tweet.

What could be more green than harvesting bushes that grow in the desert !?

@lems, Ask Speer.

@spencer, true, but how else do we recognise that some (many) still categorise peoples ancestral background in a positive or negative way? Words that become accepted descriptors become unacceptable once they […]

“Quality and quantity are one and the same” maybe, but the quality is siht. I agree entirely with @roger-ayles, and your point about the straight being so long as to take the DRS assisted car out of danger of […]

To all; “Yeah, but it’s not going to happen to me”

@willwood, OOPS! Seidl and Verstappen using identical words about team harmony.

@frood19, Here it’s shown late Mon. night, same with Sky.

@frood19, Exactly, I have given up complaining and watching, invariably a change of lap shown is not highlighted and the commentators are discussing something we have not seen and we are left to wonder how the […]

Nice report, and Monaco is the essence of F1, it is as Wimbledon is to tennis. I speak as one who has had a drink at Rosie’s Bar, but La Rascasse was outside my budget.

@kyles, Correct, Red Bull’s target market is the teenybopper, Verstappen will be replaced as soon as a younger, equally competitive driver arrives.

There seems to be some sort of collective amnesia regarding the benefit of a lighter fuel (and car) load, back before the cars were fuel limited we were constantly being told that an extra kilo of fuel was equal […]

@stefmeister, +1 on DRS, -1 on the “Unbearable lightness of been”.

@krichelle, Also the track owners paying $30-60 million want to sell as many tickets as possible and fans like yourself would feel 3 days is better value than 2.

COTD +1, I don’t care how we rationalise it, and yes the marbles do make passing more difficult, these tyres have to go.

So let’s go with the obvious and get rid of the melty tyres and mandatory pit stop. Go watch some classic racing at Goodwood to see how good racing can be on hard, skinny tyres. And no I am not suggesting F1 goes […]
