Technically the best.

Albon! Showed Williams can have the pace. Yeah, they had a bizarre strategy, but they were totally there on merit. Awesome drive.

It’s interesting to see RB with such a brittle engine. Been a while since r […]

Ooooh. Haas + Ragunathan 2022.

Sometimes the person driving a racecar is an asset. Sometimes they’re a consequence. Whether Mazepin wanted to continue racing or not was irrelevant to Haas. He wasn’t an asset to their program.

I’m curious how porpoising will be fixed – if it’s all in suspension setup, or what. I’d thought that maybe some small channels in the floor surface could keep enough airflow that you can’t stall the car even at […]

One of the problems with Kvyat’s response is that it sound logical on its face. Ban a driver who had nothing to do with the war? That does seem unfair.

However, the unfairness is the point.

It’s unfair that […]

Yeah, who could have guessed that taking money from a Russian Oligarch to sports-wash the country’s image could have turned out like this? *surprised pikachu*

I know it’s a silly comment to leave on a site like racefans, but I’m not going to be watching F1 *at all* going forward any more. Not only was Abu Dhabi a farcical and disgraceful end to the season, the way that […]

100%. Zero confidence in Masi, and there’s no road back to authority and trust with him. He has to be sacked. Completely unjust selective application of the rules handed Verstappen the win on a silver plate. E […]

Truly, it is a complete my$tery.

Super agreed. Either make certain parts spec, or dramatically loosen the regs and enforce the cost cap. Right now F1 is among the least interesting it’s been because there’s so little room for a small team to fin […]

For a car whose livery has only one job (be red), they’ve botched this up in so many ways it’s shocking. The green MW is hideous. The fade to burgundy is arbitrary and too abrupt, and the gradient is a really poor […]

(Another engineering-focused Californian here!)

I think one of the big issues F1 faces is that like any race series, the cars are the results of the rules, but the rules have become really strange and unwieldy, […]

I didn’t realize “mazepin” was how you spelled “ragunathan” in Russian.

No I’ll will towards Fittipaldi, but I think this weekend is likely to show that Magnussen and Grosjean are really good drivers, and when you stick someone who’s gotten the results Fittipaldi has so far, I thi […]

Interesting if his perspective will change if he ever has a kid. Changes how you value your own life, and what you live for in some people.

Maybe a naive question, but couldn’t F1 split the difference with reverse grid qualifying by meeting out more electric power depending on where on the grid you qualified?

So if you’re in a Williams sit […]

Perez put his name on the action that took FI into administration. That’s a huge personal risk – even if not financially, at the time the impact on his reputation or future hireablity was totally unknown. It t […]

(blew it when posting, but this was supposed to be a reply to Checo -> Haas)
