Have designated sections of the track where the 10-car length rule doesn’t apply to allow for tyre/brake temp, have a minimum gap on straights, other ideas that people far smarter and more involved than me can c […]

Wasn’t intending to critique the decision to stay/go at the time (winning a title justifies it in full imo), just pointing out the WDC and new contract honeymoon might be pretty short lived.

Masi decided before the day was even over after the Tuscan GP that everything was safe and nothing needed changing. Todays incident was proof that it needed looking into, not instantly dismissing.

Good to see […]

Remember, before it settled down a couple of seasons ago, the Verstappen’s were threatening to leave due to reliability frustrations. Can’t be long until we hear that narrative again…those get-out clauses in […]

Why are these kerbs still being used anywhere?

The fact they keep needing to be removed for safety, should highlight the fact that they’re inherently unsafe! It shouldn’t take someone having to be launched from […]

What’s going to determine the sprint grid without any form of qualifying, finishing results from the last race, reverse results from the last race, championship order? o_O

Never thought I’d see the day. Fair play Horner.

He should count himself lucky they didn’t decide he was worthy of a 5-second penalty for not giving them more space /rollseyes

The direction penalties and rules are heading under Masi is not good. There’s stamping your own mark on a job, then there’s what he’s doing: going so far beyond the mark you just appear to have Napoleon syndrome.

We all heard this on the race broadcast, it’s not like it was some obscure hidden message that wasn’t transmitted. Why are the stewards issuing penalty points in the first place without their investigations […]

Wasn’t part of the point that it was a no-knock warrant? So no, they didn’t knock. They burst into someone’s home unannounced in the middle of the night.

As you say it’s important to explain the full story.

There are rules about not crossing white lines and staying on track that don’t seem to get enforced anywhere near as stringently so you can understand why he thought it was a possibility.

The stewards had a look at it from the instant blame perspective while the event was still finishing and announced the result the same day. That is not the same as someone not looking to assign blame sitting back […]

“that alone dismisses investigation”

…shows you’re completely missing the point. Safety is involved, this could have been catastrophic. As I said above, Masi is quite possibly correct, but you NEVER dismiss […]

^^ exactly this. It’s not the rights and wrongs of the specifics of this situation, it’s the process for reaching the conclusion.

It’s getting increasingly irksome to see him make these comments. For someone in a position of safety to just dismiss these concerns, seemingly so flippantly, is worrying. If you have a safety mandate you i […]

“The FIA’s minimum length requirement for Formula 1 circuits is 3.5km.”

Is there any logic or specific reasoning behind this other than just having picked an arbitrary number at some point in the past? As M […]

Is Scott Young the guy responsible for trying to get rid of Ted on Sky? If so, hopefully this is a good sign.

…and it’s usually Grosjean.

“if they are young and healthy…and are treated…there is very little to be afraid of”

I’m afraid you’re very, very wrong on that account. This can kill you regardless of age, sex or how healthy you are, […]
