Illusive

@illusive Sports have been political since politics was invented, and if anything have got less political in the last few decades due to a struggle to figure out what a non-political sport would even look like.

@illusive
Sainz was matching Verstappen’s time in the first two sectors before screwing his lap in the last corner and losing 4 tenths to both Max and Alonso. If he he would have been a couple of tenths slower […]

@illusive I tend to agree, over the years Mercedes have been focused primarily on straight speed and high-speed corners, rather than a more Ferrari-like adaptability or the handling of the Red Bull. This concept […]

@illusive RB obliterated the opposition in Zandvoort, scoring a 1-2. They were also dominant in Austin.

@illusive – Good to see a balanced comment amongst all the rage!

There are clearly major problems with how the championship is officiated and that’s reflected in the strange decisions we’ve had throughout the […]

@illusive You mean like the offensive way he was cursing about the car in free practice? Or how last season he was going utterly ballistic when he had some issues with the car. They beeped away half of the […]

@illusive Yeah, considering we’ve seen replacement PU’s just because someone went into the barriers back end first at a relatively slow speed, I never even imagined Verstappens’ PU would be salvageable at 50g […]

@illusive Firstly, that isn’t true – while the guardianship scheme is absolutely aberrant and restrictive, women most certainly can walk around outside without a male guardian. (citation: I am a woman who has […]

@illusive – nice point about purchasing power, it reminds me of the Economist’s Big Mac Index. Now I’m hungry, so please excuse me.

@illusive of course, I wrote it badly!

Good point Egonovi and @illusive
But I have an alternate theory: If Newey had been alive back then, the Spitfilre would have been 10% faster and more agile even with an underpowered engine :)

@illusive not only do they charter private planes, as @geemac says, but they often charter them together to save money. I believe we often saw Ricciardo, Rosberg, Coulthard, Hulkenberg and Massa, among others, on […]

@illusive

Now, why would that happen? Sure as hell did not happen last time they were team mates……

Sure @illusive. But Toto Wolf also keeps saying Mercedes are wary of Red Bull and Ferrari …

I do think that McLaren can get in between (or is already in the midst of) those two in the races, especially with […]

There was never any “divebomb” however @illusive.

In reality you can see in Vettel’s own comment that even he knew quite well, that it was his mistake – claiming it was his position to give room or not, he […]

Yep, @illusive, that’s exactly what I mean!

@illusive

2009 was really the turning point for team Brackley. If Honda hadn’t have pulled out leaving them with a major brain drain in all likelihood they could have still been a top flight team in ’10, ’11 & […]

That all makes sense @illusive , but only on paper for now.
I think there will be some crashes, a safety car (or more) and some strategic blunders (we are counting on you Williams F1). So I don’t think all will […]

What are you talking about @illusive ? Points are awarded on sunday…
I predict some safety car during the race.

@illusive if the car is dug in the gravel upside down, like today’s accident, the event of a fire is a tricky situation anyway, Halo or not. Don’t see much difference, if the car was really upside down he’d have […]
