The commercials are on the front, back & sides of the cars. The more people watching, the more exposure the sponsors get. 500,000 watching on Sky in the UK pales beside the 10 to 15 million that used to regularly […]

2/10 – & that was for Verstappen. Now, if they’d brought LH in on lap 45 for a new set of Mediums (assuming they managed to put one on each corner) and he then set about Albon, Bottas, then possibly Verstappen, […]

£50 at 5000 to 1?

Showing respect for our monarch is something undertaken equally by all who meet her, regardless of skin colour. Better not to make something out of nothing.

Arguably, McLaren’s unreliability won Raikkonen the championship in 2007.

Loss of FTA has drastically reduced the significance of F1 in the UK, so someone who the declining number of avid followers of F1 regard as a hero is reduced to someone mentioned in small columns in the sports […]

The competition isn’t just for drivers, it is highly technical. Drivers are financed by the teams whose main goal is the Constructors Championship, not the WDC. Constructors are very good at seeing which driver is […]

Since Buckingham Palace cancelled their Sky subscription in cost cutting measures, they can’t tune into F1, like most of the 10 million in the UK that used to watch it regularly on free to air. UK Sky F1 viewing […]

I’m sure that Nico Rosberg helped to give him mood swings, which ended about 3 years ago.

How many laps are proposed for the reverse grid?

Toto Wolf (I know he’s biased!): “In general, in the UK, Lewis is not recognised how he should be recognised,” Wolff said. “One day he will stop his career with multiple records and people will say he was the […]

The car doesn’t go from average to good to great without serious driver input. Good engineers & good drivers can give you a good car. Great engineers & great drivers deliver a great car. Same throughout history. […]

“We think that you should consider that Seb’s going bald. He’s quite open about this and not at all embarrassed, whereas Lewis, well nobody knows what goes on with Lewis’s hair, so the penalty was obviously unfair.”

As @dave said, the limit on power would only be the creativity of the engineers. I would expect a massive “boost” from RPM – perhaps from V6, V4, W6, W4, vertically opposed ICE, not limited by RPM, not limited by […]

Perhaps open it up? Maximum engine size 1200cc. No turbos. No rules on configuration of or number of cylinders or RPM. No limit on battery assistance (if any). 3 engines per season, back of grid penalties for 4th […]

Battery tech isn’t there yet, but it will be. When they can design an electric car to go faster than an ICE Formula 1 car in a 305 Km race, it will reach its own conclusion. Perhaps open the formula so that full […]

That will be the challenge as battery tech advances, to cover 305km faster that an ICE and from renewable power sources. It certainly can’t be solved yet, but it will be, as the rate of advance in electric road […]

Checking the FIA rules about porridge. Well done Bottas. 6 +1 for the fastest lap, which added interest to the last 10 minutes.

What a loss to us all. They say the good die young. 66 is no age. So sad. RIP Charlie, bon voyage & thank you.

It could add interest at the end of a boring race – but apparently I will only see Silverstone this year, so I’m told.
