Alpine fresh strategy recruits from Ferrari still need adjustments in their routine to spot when to switch from inter to slick

Mercedes drivers are cool about porpoising this year.

Alpha Tauri recipe for getting their drivers closer: first identify the gap, then close it despite the struggle to get Yuki closer to Pierre.

@petebaldwin I fear it might provide even more of a cushion to the top 3 compared to the rest as some teams are likely to tweak their setup so that hard kind of work and make it through Q1. The midfield is tight […]

Sainz is once again flexing about his abilities

@dbradock It’s also a job hard to turn down. Anyone would want to bring a WDC or WCC to Ferrari in one capacity or another but especially as driver or team principal. It’s quite impressive how this is the team […]

@todfod Isn’t it like their strategy decisions, 2 laps too late for the decision? Reacting rather than anticipating.

Whichever path they chose, with the budget cap in place, it is now a tough task to do an […]

A strong return from Lando might push Ricciardo out of the picture

@afonic I don’t think sticking to people is the key but constructive criticism. Ferrari doesn’t accept any, defending a poor choice when Red Bull or Mercedes can reckon there was better on the table either they […]

Not sure why it’s not in the article, but if you forgot your predictions or want to check them back, here it is

It’s part of the fun to see how we fared. I went for Hamilton and, surprisingly, Schumacher […]

Vasseur decided to get involved in teaching the youngsters some defensive moves

Who said I can’t have a shot at a top driver?

It’s actually an interesting topic and probably that some properties are more advantageous than other over a season as some configuration (corners, straights) will be found in more tracks. It appeared already last […]

To be honest the finale was the culminating point of dodgy racing decisions.
Both Hamilton and Verstappen drove great seasons in different ways, case could be made for each of them and that was no surprise to see […]

Makes sense to me. Who remember 2nd in WDC few years later? There is money in WCC, but nothing except glory in WDC and limited to the winner. As commented by Sky, giving up on a podium position is also a tough […]

@red-andy To be honest, there were similar circumstances during the sprint race and Verstappen was aggressively shutting the door on Hamilton who backed off multiple times. Verstappen got where he was by braking […]

The last thing you want if you risk not getting your payment is being in contract breach and give an excuse for not being paid at all (or having to pay back if they were smart enough to have prepayment).
If the […]

Any corner he can cut or ran wide at to gain time to compensate for 5sec penalty?
That would be even race result with just the ban for last race and early start for his successor.

Quite funny how convenient […]

To be fair to Mercedes, they are not moaning too much about having the least wind tunnel time while it certainly doesn’t help their case. In that context, I’m also impressed that the 2 teams with the least time […]
