@jerejj I agree in principle that 30 in a season shouldn’t happen because the existing limit prevents this, but just because something is written down doesn’t mean it can’t be changed if the FIA/F1 has enough […]

Expanding to 30 races is a simple case of more not being better. All it will do is dilute the championships. Each race will matter less in the overall championships and you are likely to see “load balancing” like […]

As others have noted already, I’m not sure what she wears matters all that much. The Sky team is very diverse in its wardrobe choices. From Ted’s shorts to Simon’s pants colors to Nico’s extra slim pants, etc. […]

I throughly enjoyed Naomi Schiff’s commentary this weekend on Sky’s broadcast. She could easily replace Damon Hill who was flat out embarrassing during FP1 and contributed very little during the rest of the weekend.

Maybe I’ll regret this comment in a few hours time when the race happens, but Bottas always talks a strong game and usually has the raw speed to qualify well. But he has been missing racecraft throughout his c […]

@david-br Fair enough.

I have no doubt some sort of structural racism exists in F1 simply because there is such little diversity currently that most of the paddock just doesn’t realize their unconscious biases […]

@david-br I think there will always be some caveats around this title for Max that need to be acknowledged due to the circumstances in how he won, but I don’t think that tarnishes Max himself.

Honestly, I […]

The very nature of highly competitive athletes screams they are not unbiases observers of their own condition and will do everything they can to compete at every chance they get regardless of the potential impact […]

I think this just proves that the hyperbolic statements of late by Max and Horner that Mercedes conspired with the FIA to punish Masi unjustly have no merit whatsoever. If they truly felt like that had happened, […]

Good

As noted above, I think the bigger concern in terms of other countries getting drawn into the conflict will be China. They are trying to walk a fine line between supporting Russia but not supporting them so much […]

And then Horner gave an interview with a tabloid where he was quoted as saying that this was once again proof that Mercedes and Lewis were actively conspiring to discredit Max’s championship with Lewis lengthening […]

Szafnauer did an amazing job at the Silverstone team when it was underfunded, consistently overachieving given their resources and the off track happenings that could easily distract other teams. But once their […]

@sonnycrockett I agree that Seb had the best of intentions and I wholeheartedly agree with the main idea behind the No War helmet, but it was poorly executed. And it seems like rather than owning that, while the […]

I have agreed with many of Seb’s statements and found myself thinking of him very highly as a person the last few years but this one misses the mark.

First, there have been many wars since he has been alive, i […]

With the brake troubles they are having in preseason and with DannyRic’s problems with learning the tricky brakes on the McLaren last year, he needs all the time he can get in the car. This doesn’t seem to bod […]

I’m a bit surprised that national flags were included at all in the design since the main message seems to be one of peace and unity. The top of the helmet includes lyrics from Imagine by John Lennon including “ […]

@roger-ayles I never said it was going to be easy but if it provides as much of an advantage as some rumors suggest, I think the other teams will be working overtime to make it happen if they can benefit from it […]

Prediction of future events (assuming the design proves to be advantageous):

Protest of the sidepodless design at the first race by at least one team.
FIA will determine it is legal before 3rd race
Teams will […]

@mach1 I’d love for a team to show up with some totally insane concept just to see the other teams reactions as they scramble to take detailed photos and try to work out if it’s a direction they should head in. […]
