Maybe the money was “spent” in the previous financial year?

Or are facilities excluded from cost cap? Not sure.

That is an awesome idea. Finally a good use for AWS graphics.

The best thing about the new tyres is that the only “benefit” (hint: it’s not performance or road relevance) of switching to 18″ wheels is being completely lost due the wheel covers totally obscuring the fact that […]

I think Williams need to check their tyre pressures and alignment, those wear patterns are a little uneven.

That’s a very good point. The whole purpose of the minimum weight was to give the less lavishly funded teams, who couldn’t afford the exotic super lightweight materials, a more level playing field. With the cost […]

I wonder if next years new regulations have been analysed for their impact on spray in wet conditions?

The higher the gear the faster the wheels will turn. On a normal car starting in 2nd will be a slower and less likely to spin the wheels because you need more torque to turn the higher gear. Thats why its good to […]

Thankyou @david-br, someone who’s actually talking sense about this change.

It’s a non-issue. The timing is odd but none of us know what’s happened behind the scenes to bring this up now. Ultimately there’s no […]

To me a false start is a start before the lights go out; not before a certain time has passed since the lights go out.

That’s exactly what it is, if you react too quickly to the lights then you get penalised, […]

COTD – there’s also the fact that front wings are effectively mounted as a cantilever and stick out a long way from the mounting point so are naturally likely to flex more. Rear wings are mounted at both ends so […]

Exactly, that’s why it’s called the “anti-dilution” fee.

With the new more equitable spread of prize money, which generally would be viewed only as a good thing, the one downside is that adding any extra teams […]

“We started with having to kind of phone each other up over a screen…”

Haha, it’s called a “video call”. You would have thought these F1 teams would be up on their technology right ;)

Seriously though, I […]

@pinakghosh, James – HAAS could install a giant wind machine just outside the circuit

@brownerboy, ian. Indeed, I dont live too far from the track now either. Was looking forward to trying to get back there once everything opens up again. The last turn before the run up the hill is my nemesis, the […]

I’m sure there absolutely will be a boost in viewing figures. I don’t often have time to watch full quali and race on Saturday and Sunday, but I will make the effort to watch “Super Qualifying” for 3 races this […]

He’s not talking about stealing the IP for the vaccine, he’s talking about the EU blocking the export of the vaccine supply booked and paid for by the UK.

Call it attempting to commandeer goods paid for by […]

I agree, don’t love this guy, but not sure this is worthy of a story. Doubly not sure if it’s worth commenting on… (I get my own irony here…)

However, 1.7s is a loooong time. Add to that the UK requirement […]

So happy for Checo, definitely deserves to be known as a Grand Prix winner. For years he’s been fast, consistent, reliable driver always bagging the most points available, often more. This time he got them all, […]

To save time, how about they let the lapped cars shuffle to the front immediately behind the safety car right at the start of the safety car period? Then they can be released quickly half way around the SC in lap, […]

I can see how you could read it that way, but I read it the other way. You have to remember that virtually every quote from a driver is a response to a question from the media. Most of them have better things to […]
