OOF! How depressing. I think if these new cars achieve their stated aims of enabling closer racing, the next project should be figuring out how to make F1 cars smaller and lighter. An interesting point I read a […]

Seems I’m in the minority being a big big fan of this idea. The reverse-grid sprint race would have to be longer than 100 km though. I want to see the championship leaders having to fight through the field more o […]

Wow! With these comments, Domenicali shows nothing but contempt for paying fans. Hey! Domenicali! Without fans F1 is nothing and you would have no job.

Well, all I know is that I watched it live on YouTube today. It was on the UK Channel 4 Sport YouTube channel; I’m not sure if that’s geo-fenced or not.

Here’s the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OiAPSMRwrYU

You can watch it free on YouTube.

It’s a shame the race was so short; there was superb racing throughout the field.

Obviously Bottas didn’t get the memo that anyone can win in the Mercedes

Interesting take. It’s “hysterical” to call using racial slurs racist? This is quite ridiculous. Sorry, this is a case of “if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it’s a duck”. Using racial slurs is racist […]

“Racial slurs aren’t racist” 🤣

Clearly Hamilton’s move on Sunday was controversial, and robust criticism is to be expected and should be taken on the chin. However, racial slurs are not “robust criticism”, th […]

@kingshark Thanks for the photo. It shows perfectly how Max is cutting across Hamilton’s line, when he should have known full well that Hamilton was there, and that there is absolutely acres of space on his […]

So what if he didn’t get the apex? Like I said, when you are racing alongside another car, you don’t take conventional lines. He was substantially up the inside of Max, and Max should have made allowances for that.

I’m watching C4 coverage and they’re saying it’s Hamilton’s fault, but I’m really not seeing it. Before the corner, Ham was 75% alongside Max. Max must have known that Ham was there. Ham didn’t lose control of his […]

Yup. About time for everyone who said that Leclerc was going to “destroy” Sainz to form a queue and admit they were wrong.

@stash “one team again will have an engine advantage”. What’s in the back of the McLaren, Aston Martin and Williams then?

Mercedes advantage is not down to their power unit. If it was, the front of the grid […]

@pmccarthy_is_a_legend never mind the last 20 years, this is one of the best F1 liveries ever. Especially this angle:

@johnever, Max lost 0.087 to pole yes. But I think that the Red Bull was capable of getting a time 0.3 – 0.5 seconds faster than pole. Yes, the consequences of Lando’s mistake were larger, but I still view it as […]

Lando’s mistake in qualifying was much smaller than Max’s. Max failed to get the most out of the fastest car – his lap was slower than it should have been. In contrast, Lando set a blistering lap but lost the time […]

Because it’s driver of the weekend, not driver of the day, and he qualified third in the fastest car. If it was driver of the day, I’d have gone for Max definitely, but as it’s driver of the weekend, I chose Lando.

Apparently this engine cooling configuration has allowed them to have very aggressive undercutting/sculpting of the sidepods and they claim that the data show it to be a worthwhile tradeoff (the gains from the […]
