Hearing that Bridgestone are planning to put forward a bid to take over the F1 tire supply from 2025. Also hearing that there’s at least 1 more tire supplier (And it isn’t Michelin) that has put out feelers […]

@stever Imagine where speeds at Indy would have been had the CART/IRL split not happened and those late 90s/Early 00s CART spec cars had run there. I remember all the talk coming out of Indy in 1997 from those […]

@darryn I don’t think it would be possible to race if the track becomes part of the river which apparently is a realistic possibility right now. This was the paddock today. And while you can say thats not the […]

Circuit was closed and evacuated today due to the severe risk of flooding apparently.

@jerejjAdmittedly, Grosjean’s reference about wet tyres is probably indeed the case. I assume the same is also true for other series, such as Super Formula, Super GT, WEC, etc.When Andre Lotterer had that one o […]

@davedai The compounds will be the same, They are just beefing up the construction to be able to better cope with the increasing loads they are seeing cars put into them.

Bridgestone always had a very good wet tire & there F1 intermediate’s were an exceptional tire with a very wide performance window as well as very good crossover windows at both ends of the scale that allowed them […]

Hearing that fan engagement was down quite significantly over the weekend based off the various social media metrics they are monitoring now. Also early signs seem to be that the Friday GP Qualifying session […]

From what i gather most in the paddock (Including Alonso) are of the opinion that the penalty was the wrong decision given the circumstances. Most are of the view that if any of the incidents was worthy of a […]

In reference to COTD. @Tifoso1989 The fuel usage graphic was removed because it became less important when fuel saving became less of a factor. In the first 2-3 years of the V6 turbo hybrid era fuel saving […]

Reason they shortened it was to try and minimise fuel saving which is something the various incarnations of Indycar has been trying to limit for 20 years or so. Fuel saving and lift and coast was a big factor […]

Data shows the opposite is true, Always has. The avid fans, Especially those who have been watching the longest understand the sport and tend to be more understanding and accepting when a team has an advantage […]

Grouping races by region is something thats been a discussion point since at least the early 2000s but ultimately plans to do so always stall when the various factors that play into what goes where come up. The […]

On the red flags I’ll just say this. Neither of the first 2 would have happened if we hadn’t lost Charlie Whiting. And if they were heading other categories or if they were heading F1 under prior ownerships […]

@f1frog @cairnsfella @jerejj My mistake. I meant to say championship order as in Max out first & Leclerc out last. There may also be some extra stuff done with the TV presentation for the single lap session as […]

And yes despite agreeing with the proposal (Thanks to getting some incentives and other assurances) teams are expecting that format on that circuit to result in a lot of damaged cars. Thats the thing with a lot […]

I am hearing that as of now for Baku the weekend schedule will be. Friday. * 60 minute practice session, * Qualifying for the GP using the usual format. Saturday. * Sprint race Qualifying using a single […]

My only complaint is the length of safety car periodsThere’s 2 reasons for the overly long pace car periods. One is because on ovals they sweep the high lines to try and ensure there are opportunities for cars […]

Christian isn’t the only one. Most in the paddock were surprised and disappointed at the Baku selection as there is a lot of concern that it’s going to result in a lot of damaged cars.

Something i eas told end of last year was that the data they have available mirrors what has been seen with other categories that features more than 20 race weekends. That been that as the number of race […]
