I was in the grandstand at Copse and I cannot believe they would be able to use that power unit again. The crash structures on the side of the cockpit had completely disappeared, such was the severity of the […]

Yes, that was incredibly dramatic, his tyres were completely gone. It felt like daylight robbery seeing fresh tyres on Vettel’s car for the restart.

I was wondering if Friday’s attendance would be a record. What with the weather and a meaningful qualifying I’ve never known it so busy at Silverstone on a Friday.

Yes it has been going on for a long time though it’s been a lot less prevalent over the last 15 to 20 years. At its worst it was essentially mass fighting organised by large travelling groups loosely attached to f […]

No no, there has never been anything resembling hooliganism among Formula One spectators whatever teams or drivers they support. I can’t think of another sport with such a large but well behaved crowd. P […]

I’m sorry but referring to the pantomime booing of Rosberg as British hooliganism is ridiculous.

They are human. I’m sure they have been eager to get back to normal, attending events and following their interests outside of work just like the rest of us. At this moment in time in the UK at least, it appears t […]

So, according to the article the 2021 Formula E season so far has “a cumulative audience of 150 million viewers”. ‘Cumulative’ presumably means the viewing figures of each session added together, so that’s […]

The idea of F1 cars racing down the Mall and through Parliament Square sounds great but in reality it’s the stuff of fantasy. The last thing that London needs post-pandemic is the disruption of staging a Grand P […]

As controversial as he was at times, he was unflinchingly effective when it came to improving safety in motorsport and road cars as chairman of Euro NCAP. Anyone who survived a big crash in a car built since the […]

Very nice. Zak Brown seems very good at this marketing lark. Just a simple change of colour scheme and the team will be the centre of attention at Monaco. Hopefully this idea of special liveries based on […]

I couldn’t disagree more with Masi. I’m no fan of DRS at the best of times but it made for an especially ridiculous spectacle yesterday. I don’t recall the visual disparity between the straight line speed of LMP1 […]

Same old story pre-season “a porridge-fueled new Valtteri, Bottas 4.0”. A quiet first race, quick in practice at Imola but a poor qualifying and a huge crash fighting a Williams for 8th. I don’t believe he was a […]

This incident just makes a mockery of DRS. At first view it looked as if Bottas was wandering around in the middle of a narrow circuit but of course he was flat out as was Russell albeit 30 mph faster. It’s r […]

I’ve always struggled to understand why republicans have such distain for the concept of monarchy when the alternative is to elect a sleazy, narcissistic politician as President. I’d far rather the Windsors tha […]

Quite right.

That picture of Senna and Mansell at Jerez reminds me of Clive James’ narration of the Season Review. “Senna was so moved by his victory that he spoke”.

What’s wrong with that?

For me, the frustration of seeing what should be a good battle for position ruined by the faster car getting a ‘free pass’ far outweighs the enjoyment of a great DRS assisted overtake, few of which spring to min […]
