I wonder if next years new regulations have been analysed for their impact on spray in wet conditions?
gDog commented on the post, Bottas given three-place grid penalty for "potentially dangerous" pit lane spin 1 year, 7 months ago
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 […]
gDog commented on the post, The likely impact of F1's coming clampdown on ultra-quick pit stops 1 year, 7 months ago
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 […]
gDog commented on the post, The likely impact of F1's coming clampdown on ultra-quick pit stops 1 year, 7 months ago
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, […]
gDog commented on the post, Pirelli will bring different tyre compounds for two races at Red Bull Ring 1 year, 8 months ago
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 […]
gDog commented on the post, $200 million fee for new F1 teams is "absolutely fundamentally wrong" – Jordan 1 year, 10 months ago
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 […]
gDog commented on the post, DTM's audience boost shows why F1 needs to try sprint races – Wolff 1 year, 11 months ago
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 […]
gDog commented on the post, Mazepin fined for failing to stop at red light 1 year, 12 months ago
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, […]
gDog commented on the post, Why Vettel's criticism of F1's "embarrassing" restart rules was misplaced 2 years, 2 months ago
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, […]
gDog commented on the post, F1 stewards aren't giving me an easy time, says Leclerc 2 years, 3 months ago
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 […]

I’ve just realised what Sochi reminds me of
a spanner.
They could probably use that to improve the track.

Was never a fan of finger boy on the track. I always thought he was a one trick pony with the EBD nailing the rear to the track.
Still, it’s sad to see the depths to which he has fallen and I would love to see […]

Weird that you are more concerned about betting implications than sporting ones.
Not really, there are potential legal implications here depending on the jurisdiction (I imagine this incident would be covered […]

Somebody please draw a moustache on Chase’s mask. He doesn’t look quite right.

For each cancelled real event they should hold sim races.
With or without championship points is the question…
