The commercial rights are owned by Liberty Media for F1 and Liberty Global for FE.
Yes, they are sister companies owned by the same man (John Malone I think).
So, if F1 wants the right to use electric […]

“Leave me alone, I know what I am doing!” is reason enough to keep broadcasting the drivers’ radio messages.

A mind experiment for everyone to consider.
IMO, there is always an optimum solution to an engineering problem, (in this case, building an F1 car).
So, for stake of argument lets say Mercedes have come up with […]

@drycrust You would of thought Racing Point would be doing this as well, since they are just across the road from the track? Unless they are doing it later in the month.

@leonardodicappucino I wonder who’s list the Hulk is on?

I can also see the new Technical changes being held back until the new Engine regs come in around 2024/5 when they finally decide what they are going to be.

Assuming that a 2020 season actually happens, Mercedes will probably not bother running it. Assuming they still win the WCC/WDC, I hope they run at least one race at the end of the season with DAS just so they can.

I don’t mind admitting that the story brought tears to my eyes. Well done everyone involved!

@gechichan F1 didn’t do too badly when most of the field used the Cosworth DFV.

Doesn’t there have to be a minimum numbers of cars for a race to be valid? Isn’t it 16? So basically, if 3 teams are not allowed to complete then the race can’t go ahead anyway (at least officially). The […]

@antznz Whilst it is true that FE have a “monopoly” with regards to a full electric race cars from the FIA; I should point out that the commercial owner of FE is Liberty Global which is the sister company of F1 […]

@slotopen Toto, Lewis and a few others could always buy the team off Mercedes, if Mercedes decided to leave. Since Toto already owns 30%, it shouldn’t be too much of a strech for interested parties to get hold of […]

It’s the name of the main star in the consellation of the Bull (Taurus).

@pinakghosh Isn’t his wife Susie Team Principal of one of the other teams (Venturi?)? That would be a good reason to be there.

@paeschli Even worst, the darn thing is mandatory (i.e. you have to use it).

AFAIK, the current contracts for practically all of the drivers run to the end of 2020. Not surprising, since that it when the current commercial agreements come to their end with FOM. There may be a few […]

@gobert I would suggest painting the halos in the same colour as the drivers numbers are painted in. Hopefully, none of the drivers driving for the same team have the same colour.

@maisch They do, but it has to be activated by Race Control which might take a few seconds after an incident.

@huhhii When Hamilton came in for the 2nd stop, the tyre graphics showed that he had 70% left on all 4 tyres. He had already done 20 odd laps, so doing the remaining 11 would of been OK, IMHO.
