I echo bernasaurus’ comments on the grid series. First Grid game was a masterpiece of how pick-up-and-drive online racing should be, and it still baffles me how so many games since then have failed to provide the […]

the rules they are given (not created for themselves) say they must use the same construction of tyres at all tracks all season. I believe that Pirelli would make track-specific tyres if they could, but rules out […]

Does the banking there aim to allow overtaking on that section? Is it possible that F1 cars could take different lines through there, high/low as in Nascar/Indy and make passes on those two banked sections?

try running 240Kph average for 90 minutes on 100Kg fuel in ANY OTHER CAR… it isn’t possible… these engines will save the internal combustion engine from complete dissolution, sadly Naturally Aspirated […]

This is down to the engineering abilities of the team to sort out. If their correlations between CFD and IRL/Wind Tunnel data doesn’t work for them (which is largely a mathematical exercise) and then they can’t […]

The first GRID game was the first I ever got a steering wheel for, and the first i ever really put time playing online with. There was a huge community, which only stopped because of all the cheating. Roll on a […]

it really doesn’t make sense to ask a new supplier to replace Pirelli for one year, and then change the product entirely for the next three years.
Also, the Michelin spokesperson has a point, why not get rid of […]

of course running an F1 team and deliberately crashing to win the race is considered an acceptable interpretation of the rules. Yes. Oh wait, again, an opinion.

totally, and in my opinion, people who cheat shoudl be kicked out. This is my opinion, as stated above, I am by no way in any place of authority on this, which is why I am commenting on a news article on the […]

there are mistakes, like forgetting to charge your mobile before going to bed, that hurt no-one and have zero consequence. There are then mistakes, like turning up to work as a doctor drunk and botching surgery as […]

I dont know what all the fuss is about. It was a brilliant race, and exactly what the fans wanted to see, a real champion, from the back of the grid up to 2nd place, with some brilliant overtaking along the […]

safe. lol
Drivers could just drive any corner with their foot flat to the floor, that is also within the rules, but would also not be safe.
It’s more about control and carrying speed, if the DRS is deactivated […]

that’s not quite how it works.

The DRS Zone is the Straight, BEFORE Abbey and Farm. If they deactivate it, by braking for example, they can’t re-activate it after the apex. So I think you might have missed the […]

as a McLaren fan, I’m watching what’s happening now and crying inside a little. Should Red Bull go the same way? Well first off, it isn’t exactly the same, as Honda now have several years under their belt, and the […]

the only rules (as far as I can remember) are that one of the softest compound are for Q3 only, and have to be given back (i.e. can’t be used in the race) and one are given in one of the practice sessions and have […]

Jenson Button, Kimi Raikkonnen, Fernando Alonso, Damon Hill, Mika Hakkinen… more??

blocking, defending, attacking, picking the right battle… we all want to see more overtaking, and we want the guys to go wheel to wheel, but there has to be a line, and a higher level of respect, over the out […]

Totally agree.

Few things here:
1. Flow rate limit should be removed. As above, being able to push, knowing that doing this too much will kill the engine… I like the sound of this, Up to driver and team to […]

I am a McLaren fan, let me just put that out there, I am wearing a 2017 Vandoorne T-Shirt as I speak. I was at Monaco to see JB race his final F1 race last year, and was there in 2015 to see both him and Alonso […]
