hobo commented on the post, The first Formula 1 race cancelled by climate change is unlikely to be the last 2 weeks, 1 day ago
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 […]

hobo commented on the post, Red Bull dominance is a turn-off for "avid" F1 fans but not new viewers – Domenicali 1 month, 2 weeks ago
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 […]

hobo commented on the post, Verstappen repeats his warning more sprint races will make F1 'not worth it for me' 2 months ago
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 […]

hobo commented on the post, Verstappen "won't be around too long" if F1 keeps changing race weekend format 2 months ago
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 […]

hobo commented on the post, Verstappen "won't be around too long" if F1 keeps changing race weekend format 2 months ago
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 […]

hobo commented on the post, Second qualifying session under consideration for F1's Baku sprint round 2 months ago
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 […]

hobo commented on the post, Are we in for a closer title fight? 20 questions for the 2023 Formula 1 season 3 months ago
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 […]

hobo commented on the post, Verstappen is not bigger than the team, insists Horner after radio row 6 months, 2 weeks ago
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 […]

hobo commented on the post, Is there a 'sprint' format which can satisfy both the purists and the bean-counters? 6 months, 3 weeks ago
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 […]

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.
