I’m a Max fan. But I really don’t see any need to underrate Hamilton today.
In a way this race has shown that these 2 drivers are absolutely better than anybody else. No more “it’s the car” nonsense to be honest, […]

Hmm, 2 articles report the Mclarens in 6th and seventh, normally it’s Norris and Ricciardo in xth. and x+ but this time it’s just ” the Mclarens”, what could the difference be I wonder ?

@yaru I think it refers to the following (consider please only the Max vs Lewis battle as context):
Affect a driver of a different team positively: Gasly, let’s say, has clearly more pace than Verstappen, and […]

Watched the first one and definitely skipped the Monza one. Just read the news and that was it. But I’m not a $takeholder, neither a steak holder nor a skate holder.

Yes, that one.

What a load of…
Webber didn’t lose a race in a controversial way. Vettel was faster and won. Webber had also defied team orders before, so he was not a saint.
Now Austria 2001 or Singapore 2008, THOSE are controversial.

“generating a lot of publicity for a fairly mean effort” Job done, bonus expected.

Over the years I’ve read quite a few comments saying “Hamilton should put his money where his mouth is”, well it appears he is, however I don’t expect those commenters will be praising him for doing it. Are you […]

Yes. No more penalties, no more engine changes projected. This score must feel like a win. Red Bull knew Hamilton would live this race at the top of the championship again, so Verstappen 20th to 2nd is the best […]

Hahahaaa yeah, suddenly tomorrow he will reveal there was something in his eye, or that he still feels long Covid

@wildbiker, I didn’t doubt that there were child miners in Africa, merely pointed out that child labour has been practised in all societies, and as an alternative to starvation it could be worse.

@ruliemaulana, That is an option, but who is going to invest hundreds of millions of $s to build the best pure ICE engines when all the major motorcar manufacturers are building and selling EVs exclusively.

@wildbiker, I’m calling you out, you list the old dirty technologies for electricity production but ignore wind, hydro and solar then go on to suggest child labour is how we get Lithium, much of the Lithium mined […]

@redpill, I’m not sure LM or the teams want more teams, unless that is, there is a commensurate increase in revenue to guarantee no-ones slice of the pie diminishes.

@redpill, I agree and I think it’s a pity they didn’t allow the electric side of the PU to develop further.

Further pondering, what would a purely electric F1 look like, no gimmicks, no powertrain restrictions, current safety features and overall dimensions, cars or power from Tesla, porsche, mercedes etc.

The COTD neatly highlights the problem for F1, however the solution of simpler/cheaper ICE PUs is likely to fail because “historic racing” already has such depth and far better racing as seen at this years […]

To clarify, ….uses the crushed cane a by-product of sugar production……
A bit clumsy but should be clear now.

@jaymenon10, The “solutions” put forward by politicians and their useful fools are only ever productive to their election campaigns and their donors.
Here in Oz there is a major alcohol fuel supplier that uses […]

Zero Fuel !? Well it’s alcohol of course, sugarcane grows in sunny climes so solar power for EV battery application in planters and harvesters is easy, the growing cane uses the CO2 to produce sugar, yeast uses […]
