For someone who I can say pretty much maximised the result on *both* Saturday and Sunday, I picked Gasly. Perhaps you could argue he might have held off Vettel, but he was at a tyre disadvantage in that fight. […]

I believe it was 45, but usually they round the tolerance up when it’s not a whole number. 10% of a 51 lap race = 5.1 laps, rounds to 6 laps’ tolerance, so 45 gets classified.

@rpneto hahahaha brilliant!

[/tinfoil hat]

Schumacher = too obvious
Leclerc = too much collateral suffered making it convincing
Rosberg = just right

Only really makes sense if they got assurances the mechanical issues were resolved/would definitely be resolved for the races, otherwise it remains as much a safety issue, whatever combination of the car and […]

Same score for the same rationale. There was at least some movement up and down the field as the under/overcut strategies played out, and the drama of Bottas’ race disintegrating in the pit lane. But no overtakes […]

Hamilton isn’t even the first case of reversing on track this season, nothing was done in the previous instance either.

The Race Control message was clear that the Perez penalty was 10 seconds time not a […]

I went for slightly agree. I am not particularly in favour of sprint races, but compared to many of the other proposals this one is fairly tame.

Qualifying in its form of a timed lap contest remains intact, […]

Generally I rate Leclerc very highly, but on the basis of the 2020 season I have to agree with this.

I’m not understanding the logic of Leclerc being above Gasly and Perez who had higher highs without such low […]

@davewillisporter

I stand corrected. Although the KBE (Knight(s) Commander of the Order of the British Empire) exists as a rank, you are right that most Knighthoods appear to be awarded under Knights Bachelor. […]

@frood19

I hate to disappoint in that respect but a knighthood = KBE

Very much part of the same system as the MBE and OBE

It feels almost sacrilegious not to give it to George, and yet I can’t not give it to Checo.

So Aitken gets a ton of credit for being +0.1 behind Latifi, and Russell is a failure for being +0.02 behind Bottas? Not sure you’ve got an even playing field there.

@red-andy Thanks!

Lundgaard is only 8 points off him in 6th, so there’s certainly a chance now that there could be an unexpected AlphaTauri seat open…

Not entirely clued into the situation on this – any risk of Tsunoda missing out on his superlicense if he finishes 5th (or lower) in the championship standings?

Not to defend his original call, because I don’t think it should have taken this failure of process to realise it, but he has literally said that with the benefit of hindsight he would do it differently.

There’s a bit of an issue here. The expectation is that a driver will abort their lap when faced with double yellows, but what is a driver with no lap time on the board to do if he wishes to remain on track for a […]

And 2002. I mean, in that year the “or retiring” part is redundant, but still.

I suppose this interpretation is plausible, but I wonder if the wording could have been clearer – I would suggest it had only been a year at whatever point in 2008, a year after (either) debut.
