Perez should’ve received a 5-second penalty for gaining a lasting advantage
I disagree. Perez was ahead and Russel didn’t leave him any room. They would’ve collided (more badly) if Perez hadn’t left t […]

I don’t understand why some people are so certain that nothing happened if there isn’t a police report about it. Do people generally report all the bad behavior to the police?

If someone shouted to me that I […]

I’m not a woman, so I can’t comment on what kind of behavior female fans have received over the years in Formula One. But regarding the behavior towards other fans in general:

Over the years I’ve visited F1 rac […]

F1 contracts are binding until they aren’t (like Kimi’s Ferrari contract wasn’t in 2009). F1 team may have to pay salary to a driver, who isn’t driving for them anymore, but that’s it.

This is just […]

I don’t know how Russell’s 6 is justified considering how other drivers have been rated. Crashed in qualifying, couldn’t keep up with the Ferraris and the Red Bulls in the sprint race and then crashed again in the […]

Even when he is returning to the pits he says it feels worse turning one way than the other, which indicates he still doesn’t know exactly what is wrong and is giving the team information.
That’s not what he t […]

@dmw
I agree. Not to mention that it is very odd that Alonso just told his team that he had to box and didn’t report or even speculate any reason to his team. Surely he knew the wheel was loose, but he was clever […]

And at the same time we haven’t even seen the FIA communicate anything at all about fans misbehaving.
Hard to blame the stewards and the race director for that. What should they do, give stop-and-go penalties t […]

Suspended €10,000 fine is nothing. The stewards were forced to act somehow, because there was a clear violation of the rules and a media delegate reported it. But they have given a very lenient penalty, which h […]

I agree. The sprint would have been even more boring, if Hamilton had cleared the Haas drivers as easily as Perez!

Gave it a 3. Would’ve been a 1 without the Hamilton-Schumacher battle.

I think stewards made the right decision and this sets a good precedent.

Teams are monitoring their drivers all the time, so they know if their driver has gone off the track. I’m sure Red Bull knew also. In the […]

I think history is being rewritten here. As if Russell willingly sacrificed his race to help Zhou. The truth is that Russell and Mercedes thought Russell’s race was over and therefore he had no reason not to leave […]

I don’t understand booing unless it’s for unsportsmanlike behavior. The only time I think Russell has been unsportsmanlike in Formula One was when he slapped Bottas’ helmet. He apologized that and it was a long […]

Alonso rated the best/second best driver of the weekend… Yes, his qualifying was incredible and I’d give him a 10 for qualifying performance. But no points are awarded in qualifying. He was slow on Sunday and […]

I guess this means that Horner has told Verstappen to b*tch about the bumps as much as he can to gain advantage.

I’m not disagreeing with you on Ferrari’s issues and moving to England might help them (given that England has a huge Formula One industry).

But linking this to the football teams of England and Italy […]

The lack of composure and persistence is something you saw with their football team (last time they reached a World Cup knockout was 2006, and the next opportunity is not before 2026).
Didn’t Italy just win Euro […]

@jff
So the plan was that Hamilton would first fail to overtake slowly driving Alonso for 20 laps or so and then (once Alonso sped up) Hamilton would still have the tyres and motivation to follow Alonso with no […]

@f1frog
It could’ve worked if other teams would’ve been dumb. Meaning Hamilton for some reason wouldn’t try to overtake slow Alonso while Bottas and Vettel would use their tyres trying to overtake Ocon. In […]
