The racing is in no way “better” at Indy, and I say that as someone who has not just attended the Indy 500, but actually had pit lane and even pit wall access during the race. It’s just a hell of a lot more […]

Also, hats off to the simultaneous aerial flyby by a squadron of prime porkers. :)

That might be true @bascb, were it not for the fact that he is already the clear number one. Team orders have already been applied in his favor and against Bottas multiple times.

It’s a playground for failed F1 drivers and insular Americans who think the winner of a US-centric race is a “world champion” because as far as they’re concerned, the rest of the world barely exists.

Sato was a […]

That takes most of the interest *out* of it for me. It’s the fight to earn and consolidate positions which I find exciting. If you’re constantly changing order through the whole race then effectively that race […]

Details, please. I am not aware of a legal way to watch F1 races online with the exception of companies like Comcast offering streaming TV *if* you’re also subscribed to that […]

I wouldn’t make assumptions, Chip. I despise F1’s DRS too, but If it’s as you describe, I think that system is by far preferable to DRS.

The reasons why:

* At least the name is honest about the intent. In F1 […]

He doesn’t *need* to come back to F1 “if his ultimate goal is the Triple Crown”. He’s already an F1 champion, hence if his goal was only the triple, he’d leave F1 tomorrow. The fact he’s not leaving says that isn’t his goal.

There were no team ordered at Ferrari today. Kimi was leading the race so got first choice on when to pit. He *asked* to pit before he did so, so he clearly wanted to then. It turned out to be the wrong strategy. […]

Yep, exactly. Just psychological games from Hamilton. Kimi came in when he wanted to, as evidenced by the fact that he came on the radio asking if they shouldn’t be having a pitstop soon *before* he came into the […]

Yep, agree completely and I’m a Vettel / Raikkonen / Ferrari fan. Lewis and Mercedes just did the better job today. Good race but a weak ending, sadly. Would’ve been nice to see it close right to the flag. At […]

It beggars belief that the rules don’t require every single team to use the exact same font face, font size, location and foreground / background color for their driver number. This should not be up to the teams […]

Nonsense. He was appreciably closer and closer towards the end, as the lap times clearly show. Yes, he dropped back occasionally, whether due to mistakes or to cool his car a little, but each time he caught back […]

A good race ruined by Felipe Massa and Williams’ unsporting behavior. The team should have warned him well ahead of time that he was in front of a battle for the lead, and that he was not in a battle himself. He […]

No, it’s the rules. The pecking order hasn’t changed in several years, and only one engine manufacturer has made any progress at all, really. And that’s entirely down to the now-defunct token system, yes, but it’s […]

Fans will finally have a single entity to root against.

About time. Now can somebody swing past Mr. Ecclestone’s house?

Pity Hamilton had to ruin it for us with anther display of unsportsmanlike driving.

The drivers themselves say the opposite, and they actually have the experience to know.

Nobody put a monkey on Andretti’s back. He failed because of his arrogant belief that he could just swan in right before each race to win, then jet back to the US and not put in a single shred of effort.
