I like this comment because it points out the hypocrisy of the OP’s comment. People love following F1, and one of the reasons they often cite is that the engineers and teams are building their own cars and […]

Alfa was never really in, let’s be honest. Audi building an engine for Sauber will be more than Alfa ever did.

Sarcasm understood. But we should spare just a moment to see what the field actually looks like (below). I am happy that there is interest, especially from Porsche and Audi, as well as others. But we need teams to […]

To quote Massa, “for sure” it is a difficult one to measure. But every time they move the measurement a step away from what they are after, the step away is what teams meet, not whatever the original intent […]

Except the regs didn’t work, and they won’t, because they are focused on the wrong thing. Let’s assume that leaving cleaner, less turbulent air behind a car is better for the following car. (I’m not insinuating […]

You should read the rules. People have pointed out how incorrect you are multiple times now. Keith provided a link and you still didn’t read them? For overtaking on the inside of a corner—in this instance, fro […]

I don’t agree with everything here but Ben makes some good points. Going from one extended dominant era to another dominant era to another is not fun. Assuming for the moment that Max wins this year, the last […]

I’m doing nothing of the sort (accusing you of x or y). I simply said that Max saying “if they keep messing with this, I’m leaving,” is not impressive to me in the least. Had he constructively laid out an […]

Your opinion is yours, and that’s fine, but where was Max when rules were changed in the middle of a race to benefit him and give him the WDC? Where was he daring to speak his mind and say that a random change was […]

This is correct. The problem with cars in recent years is that they are largely separated. The result of which is that cars are less frequently out of position, especially the longer distance you go. Sometimes […]

This has been done.

Unfortunately, I don’t think we are in for a closer fight this year. It was only close for a bit at the start of 2022 because Max had a couple of early-season retirements. And he still one by about 150pts. Could […]

Alan Dove – You keep bringing this up as if it is a good point. “How could engineers build a car that suits one driver’s preferred driving style??” Um, I don’t know, they are some of the best F1 engineers money […]

While the blame is on Max, I wonder how much of this is RB’s fault as well. This is not a new thing–recall ‘Multi-21’?

Also, why wasn’t Christian or Marko telling Max to let Checo pass him back? The whole […]

@davewillisporter – I’m not disagreeing with your larger hypothesis (that Max races Charles different than Lewis), because I haven’t looked into it. But as it applies to this specific race and the incident where […]

First, remove the sprint race from the equation of Qualifying and Race Start Position. Qualifying should provide the starting grid. Purists rejoice!!

Second, make the sprint race in a spec car. Porsche Cup, […]

@drycrust – I think it will be an abomination, flat street circuits usually are in my opinion. Though I think Singapore often produces decent races despite it being flat/street circuit.

As for your question on […]

For RandomMallard above

and good point @boysber

Appreciate you laying this out further. Much more nuanced and detailed explanation.

I stated above I know how it works. I also stated that media (and seemingly) fans mostly don’t follow that. Do with that what you will. I’d be more than happy for you to repeat, again, what the rulebook states.
