Hembery then expanded on the thought processes: “What do we want? One car to disappear into the distance? The public turned away from the sport when that happened, so there was a very clear decision made by the s […]

@randommallard Vettel and Raikkonen in Silverstone 2017 were almost certainly due to just running those tyres far too long The thing is though that even if that was the case a tire should lose performance before […]

@mrboerns @randommallard @bascb The biggest difference between tire failures of the past & failures today is the way in which Good Year, Bridgestone & Michelin were always open & transparent with teams/drivers & […]

@matthijs There isn’t any way of really accurately measuring tire wear while cars are out on track. @stefmeister explained how the graphics are produced but teams (And Pirelli’s engineer’s embedded in each team) […]

Really not a fan of the new format & really hope they revert to the old format for next season for both F2 & F3.

I think having the 3 races each weekend is unnecessary as the extra race doesn’t really add […]

It’s easy on the outside to say ‘If you don’t want the attention, Don’t play at that level’ but that is ignoring how many professional athletes now start at a very young age & many won’t fully understand what they […]

The part at the very front of the nose that took the brunt of the impact & is part way off is actually the onboard camera.

That whole front part at the tip of the nose is removable & will either house the […]

@jamiefranklinf1 Debates over flexing bodywork be it wings, floors or other bits has been a constant discussion since the FIA introduced the regulation outlawing/restricting bodywork deflection.

It’s a tricky […]

An interesting take i’ve heard over the past week is that one of the primary reasons Mercedes are been as vocal as they are isn’t simply because they think the wing is flexing more than it should (Although they do […]

@napierrailton

1st = 3 points,
2nd = 2 points,
3rd = 1 point.

A shorter sprint race with no strategic element, Drivers able to push harder & No points for those outside the top 3 is only going to feature less action rather than more.

As such I just don’t see it adding […]

I think it was brought up during the build-up for the qualifying session today that they all had around 40% charge remaining in the batteries but due to the energy reductions made by race control during the safety […]

It’s funny how the argument for tearing up the old Hockenheim was that multiple long straights into slow chicanes was a boring layout. Yet now every new circuit features very long straights into very tight […]

@jerejj That’s what I was told.

When I enquired as to what was wrong I was just told that there had been a local blackout which meant they couldn’t establish a link to the track.

Was also sent a link to a […]

For those wondering how problems in the UK can cause problems at the circuit. Everything goes through the FOM system now, The teams no longer have there own systems on the cars for transmitting […]

See my reply above.

@someone or something since a power outage somewhere in the UK shouldn’t have any impact on the ability to transmit radio waves between cars and pits somewhere in Italy.Everything goes through the FOM system n […]

The reason for the technical problems & more limited broadcast during FP1 is that there was a power outage at Biggin Hill so everything that is usually produced off-site won’t be available until they get power […]

@frasier The things that led to the Williams decline were there before Sam Michael took over as technical director.

The real start of the decline was losing Adrian Newey & then the factory Renault deal the […]

Not to mention how even those who are off work on Saturdays tend to be less likely to sit in-front of the TV than they are on Sundays because they have things to do (Or just want to spend time with family/friends) […]
